BUG

You've never seen anything like BUG. Most people will turn this one off before getting to the end...its certainly not for all tastes. I, however, found a lot to like. First of all, Ashley Judd gives a mind-blowing performance (Oscar worthy but the material may scare off voters)...second of all, the feel of the movie is genuinely claustrophobic and creepy and you don't get that by accident. Now admittedly the movie has its problems (I'm still trying ot figure out why Harry Conick's character was in the movie at all?), but this one-of-a-kind depiction of the explosive results that come from mixing paranoia, delusion, desperation, lonliness, and cocaine. Warning - not for the squemish! 3 of 5 hs
