—"Dr. Giggles" (1992; R for violence, sex, nudity, language) is an asylum escapee (Larry Drake) who giggles as he kills. Ugly.

• "The TV Set" (Fox, 2007; R for language; $27.98). Close-to-the-bone, foul-mouthed satire of television has a writer (David Duchovny) trying to hang onto his integrity after he sells a TV script. Sigourney Weaver steals the show as a pompous but dim executive.
