Dr. Giggles, a review by addicted2dvd

Dr. Giggles
He makes house calls. No appointment necessary. Laughter is the best medicine when 'Dr. Giggles' gives fans of cult horror the right guffaws-and-gore prescription.

Larry Drake plays the night-prowling surgical M.D. (as in Maniacally Deranged) who takes a vengeful whack -- or saw, scalpel, stomach pump or whatever else he finds in his little black bag of medical malpractice -- at teens, cops, and other residents of a once-pleasant town. From an old haunted house to a midway fun house, from bedrooms to the O.R., the doctor is in(sane). And keeping pace with him is a start-to-finish spree of medical puns that make this romp a cut above. 'Dr. Giggles': He'll keep you in stitches.

TV Star:
Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell on Charmed, Kimberly Brock on Picket Fences)
Glenn Quinn (Doyle on Angel, Mark on Roseanne)

My Thoughts:
This has always been one of my favorites. It is the first thing I ever seen Holly Marie Combs in... and I have been infatuated with her every since. Larry Drake was also good as Dr. Giggles himself. This is a movie I have watched countless times since I originally saw it... back in the days of VHS.

DIE 3D DIE!!! I loathe 3D and it disturbs me greatly that it's so wildly popular at the moment. I hope that it is a fad that dies off quickly but it bothers me that James Cameron is such a booster of it as people tend to listen to him.

I bought this because like most 3D dvd releases the 2D version is always included and that's the version I always watch. As it turns out this disc was only in 3D and they released a standard version separately. I decided to watch it anyway and planned to pick up the 2D version to replace it when I come across it. After watching the film I don't think I'll bother.  

The 3D aside, this sucked royal ass. They couldn't decide if they were going to pay homage to Romero's original classic or try to emulate it. Either way, for a modern remake this was piss poor, amateur garbage. Even horror mainstay Sid Haig couldn't help this. The acting was so terrible from the leads that I started to look to the zombies for a bit of personality. This was also relatively light on gore.

Gee, I always wondered what a debacle would look like in 3D.

Misfits: Series Three (2011/United Kingdom) IMDb | Wikipedia Channel 4 DVD (United Kingdom) Length: 368 min. Video: Widescreen 1.78 Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Subtitles: English

---

Plot:Misfits
Season 3.08 Episode 8
Writer: Howard Overman (Writer), Howard Overman (Created By)
Director: Jonathan van Tulleken
Cast: Joseph Gilgun (Rudy), Iwan Rheon (Simon), Lauren Socha (Kelly), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Curtis), Antonia Thomas (Alisha), Robert Sheehan (Nathan), Matthew McNulty (Seth), Alex Reid (Sally), Jessica Brown Findlay (Rachel), Danny Sapani (Tony), Mark Heap (Jonas), Charlotte McDougall (Woman), Matthew Steer (James)

Not really the final episode of the series, but the last episode of the set I have. I plan to buy the rest also, but I feel that this episode works well for as a finale for the series. Especially as it is the last episode of most of the original main cast.
Thankfully we got some closure for these characters and I am happy that the storyline with Simon and Alisha came full circle.
So far, my favorite series is the second one, closely followed by the third.
