I'm watching scream currently, is this supposed to be a comedy??? The first scene with drew Barrymore is pretty good, but the rest of is making me laugh. The scene where the blond girl and the ghoul duke it out in the garage is just hilarious.

Just watched Sling Blade, very powerful and moving drama. Haven't seen Geoffrey Rush's award winning performance in Shine but I doubt it was better than Billy Bob Thornton's performance that year.
