Year: 2007
Director: William Friedkin
Plot: Academy Award-winning Exorcist director William Friedkin scuttles deep into the darkest recesses of the traumatized human psyche with this tale of a lonely bartender haunted by the long-ago disappearance of her young son, and the paranoia that emerges when she enters into a tentative relationship with a deeply disturbed drifter. Adapted from the off-Broadway play by Tracy Letts, Bug centers on Agnes (Ashley Judd), who tends bar alongside pal R.C. (Lynn Collins), and has recently moved into a shoddy roadside motel in hopes of avoiding her menacing and recently paroled ex-husband Jerry (Harry Connick Jr.). Upon making the acquaintance of subdued former soldier Peter (Michael Shannon repeating his stage role), a veteran of the first Gulf War, Agnes finally senses that things are looking up. Quietly charming despite his melancholy aura, Peter soon reveals to Agnes that he had contracted a "bug" while serving in the Middle East, and that it may have been deliberately administered as part of a secret military medical experiment. Convinced that the microscopic insects are quickly multiplying just under the surface of his skin and that they have now infected Agnes as well, Peter soon descends into a psychotic rage as he resorts to increasingly desperate measures to purge himself of the offending, sub-dermal arthropods. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: Identity took place at a Psycho-ish motel. Didn't really care for it. The Devil's Rejects was yet another movie proving that staying in a rundown motel is a sure way to get cut up by psychopaths. Nicholas Cage's character in Leaving Las Vegas was staying in a trashy little off the strip motel in Vegas. The Motel was a great little coming of age story. Definitely worth checking out. Joy Ride took place in random shady motels across the Midwest. Guilty pleasure flick for me about a psycho trucker. I know, I know. Has anyone seen Bug? It takes place in a motel room the entire movie right? I've heard both good and bad - haven't gotten a chance to see it yet.

Body: The soundtrack to Twilight is currently the number one album in the U.S., and a band called Paramore is experiencing great success by association. They have two songs featured on the soundtrack, one of which, “Decode,” has been released as the album’s lead single. Though Paramore have been around for some time and were even nominated for a Grammy earlier this year, they have never charted quite as well on the Billboard Hot 100 as they currently are through this Twilight connection. And chances are they’ll never have quite as big a hit again. Countless other artists have had their biggest break with a song prominently featured on or released through a movie soundtrack, and many of these artists disappeared into obscurity afterwards. Or, at best, they maintained a modest career, never achieving the kind of chart-topping high they once received courtesy of a hit film. SpoutBlog has compiled a list of ten such “one-hit wonders,” though we made some rules and exceptions in order to both narrow things down (no themes or plot songs) and include a few significant tracks that aren’t technically the only hits from their respective performers. Basically, we’re presenting ten artists who would be a lot less famous had they not licensed a single to a soundtrack and who shall forever be best known for that one song from that one movie. Song: “Lookin’ for Love” Artist: Johnny Lee Movie: Urban Cowboy (1980) Soundtracks have a way of making crossover hits for artists who otherwise have decent careers in specific genres. Johnny Lee is hardly a one-hit wonder when it comes to the country music charts, but it was only thanks to the popular film Urban Cowboy that he reached #5 on the Billboard Top 100. And it was likely only thanks to that achievement that Eddie Murphy would later pay homage with his Buckwheat version, “Wookin’ Pa Nub” Song: “Iko Iko” Artist: The Belle Stars Movie: Rain Man (1988) Fans of 2-Tone ska may have already been hip to this reformation of members from The Bodysnatchers, but most of the world paid them notice only once, when their 1982 version of an old New Orleans folk song called “Jock-a-Mo” accompanied Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman (who was a fan of the tune) on the big screen. Finally, in 1989, the band and the song reached #14 on the Top 100. Unfortunately, The Belle Stars had already been broken up for nearly four years when it happened. Song: “King of Wishful Thinking” Artist: Go West Movie: Pretty Woman (1990) Not only did this blockbuster romantic comedy make a revival hit out of the Roy Orbison classic that lent its name to the film’s title, it also made a huge success out of the English pop duo known as Go West. Technically they aren’t a one-hit wonder, though, because they’d already been in the Top 40 three years earlier and they’d chart fairly high again two years later. However, when you’re best remembered for a Top 10 single from a film as big as Pretty Woman, every other achievement (even a menial #14) looks like a failure in comparison. Song: “Wicked Game” Artist: Chris Isaak Movie: Wild at Heart (1990) Initially released in 1989 as a single off Isaak’s third album, Heart Shaped World, this song didn’t become a hit until it was featured on the soundtrack to Wild at Heart. Apparently, the success is all thanks to one David Lynch fan at a radio station in Atlanta, who started a trend that eventually got the song to reach #6 on the Hot 100. Isaak hasn’t exactly disappeared since, and he’s even found additional fame acting in movies, but he’s never hit as big musically as he did with this twangy, Orbison-esque number. Song: “It’s Gonna Be a Lovely Day” Artist: The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. Movie: The Bodyguard (1992) It’s still one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time, primarily thanks to Whitney Houston and her cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.” But this rap version of Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day” was another hit single from the film, and it made a definite one-hit wonder out of the annoying-to-type group The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. In their defense, though, this was merely a side project of members of C&C Music Factory, who continued to be successful throughout the early ‘90s. [Aside: did anyone else think this song was actually performed by P.M. Dawn?] Song: “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” Artist: The Proclaimers Movie: Benny & Joon (1993) This song was five years old when it was featured in the movie Benny & Joon, having been originally released on The Proclaimers’ 1988 album Sunshine on Leith. It had even previously been a big deal in the UK. Yet it took a movie starring Johnny Depp as a loony fan of Chaplin and Keaton to rocket the song through the roof in the U.S. Benny & Joon didn’t even do very well at the box office, and its soundtrack, which included only the one non-score track, didn’t have much appeal on its own, either. But somehow thanks to the movie, The Proclaimers will continually be most celebrated and mocked for this tune. Song: “New Age Girl” Artist: Deadeye Dick Movie: Dumb and Dumber (1994) Is it better to have charted and broken up than to never have charted at all? That might be a question for this Vonnegut-inspired band, which only broke out after this tune, originally off their debut album, was included on the Dumb & Dumber soundtrack. A year later, when their follow-up album produced no similar high, Deadye Dick disbanded. Yet the group’s singer and lead guitarist, Caleb Guillotte has found other film-related success working in the art department for such recent films as Déjà vu and Bug. Song: “Stay (I Missed You)” Artist: Lisa Loeb (& Nine Stories) Movie: Reality Bites (1994) The story of Loeb’s big break is possibly better remembered than the plot to the movie that made her a star. She lived across the street from Ethan Hawke, who became a fan. He slipped a tape of this song to Ben Stiller, who directed Reality Bites and was permitted to choose its music. When the film’s aggressively marketed soundtrack became a success, also making a one-hit wonder out of reggae group Big Mountain and a revival hit out of The Knack’s “My Sharona,” Loeb became the first artist to have a number one single before being signed to a major label. Since then, she’s had some significant chart placement, but she’ll always be best remembered as that girl with the cat-eye glasses who was the epitome of the cliché about showbiz success being all about who you know. And she’ll also be remembered for failing to ever prove herself deserving of that advantageous shot. Len - New Music - More Music Videos Song: “Steal My Sunshine” Artist: Len Movie: Go (1999) Thanks to Len’s inclusion on the soundtrack to Go, this song was a surprise hit in the Spring of 1999, prompting the band’s label to push up the release of their third album, You Can’t Stop the Bum Rush, by a few weeks. In November of that year, the single peaked at #9 on the Top 100, and the band has never had similar success since. Song: “Because I Got High” Artist: Afroman Movie: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) It’s not uncommon for a silly novelty song to be the sole success of an artist. So, it’s not surprising that Afroman hasn’t achieved much notice since 2001, when this goofy song reached #13 on the Hot 100. He’s been around since, sure, and he’s probably got some kind of cult fame within the stoner community, but it would take another music video shot by Kevin Smith to garner him the same level of mainstream attention he got seven years ago.

Body: Ashley Judd starring in a horror movie directed by "Exorcist" wizard William Friedkin. What can possibly go wrong with that premise? More than you can possibly want to know. Not only is "Bug" the worst movie to grace our multiplex screens this year (yes, "Pathfinder" and "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" can move over), it is entirely possible it is the worst movie of the last five years (even worse than last year´s snore-inducing remake of "All the King´s Men"). Ashley Judd plays Agnes, a woman living in a motel and working in a seedy bar. Her ex-something (we never really know is it´s a boyfriend or husband) is getting out of jail and, according to Agnes, has been calling her and not saying a word. A co-worker, waitress RC (Lynn Collins), brings a quiet stranger over for drinks and he ends up staying the night on her couch. Later, he confides in her he escaped from a military hospital where the government was running tests on him. And just to spice up the drama quotient, Jerry (Harry Connick, Jr.) the ex, shows up, abusing and threatening both Agnes and Peter (Michael Shannon). Then, there are the bugs… Okay, with that formality out of the way, "Bug" reminds me of last year´s "The Break-Up" (no, that "romantic comedy" was a thousand times better). If you remember that film, Universal promoted it as being funny and a, well, romantic comedy. The actual premise of the film couldn´t have been farther from the truth. Here, LionsGate has been heralding the "return" of Friedkin, giving the audience the impression this is a horror film. It´s not. It´s two people stuck in one room for 102 minutes, talking, yelling, having sex, talking some more, being paranoid, spinning wild stories…if you´ll notice, all these people do is talk. That in itself isn´t a bad thing, but when it takes your film an eternity to lurch into the plot, you know you´re doing something wrong. At least the first half-I lost count of the seconds ticking off my life as the film rolled-of the film is devoted to establishing the relationships between the characters: Jerry and Agnes losing their son; Agnes and Peter "falling" for each other; Jerry becoming violent toward Agnes and Peter. And the second part takes place in an aluminum foil-plated room bathed in the blue fluorescent light of a half dozen bug zappers. We´re willing to go along with the character development of the first half because, frankly, this if Friedkin. How long did it take for "The Exorcist" (the scariest film in history, at least in my book) to get to the promised scares? Maybe that´s why I´m so negative on "Bug." From a filmmaking perspective, it is beyond reproach. One of the hardest things in the industry is to confine yourself to a few enclosed sets with two or three actors. Friedkin does this. It´s not the directing which is the let down. "Bug" isn´t as advertised. Yes, there are a couple gross out scenes, though they come in the latter stanzas of the film. By and large, though, it is incomprehensible, nonsensical garbage filled with conjecture and supposition. According to Peter, he was bitten by a bug following a night of sex with Agnes. So they tear apart the bed, searching for bugs so tiny, Agnes can´t see them. Until Peter convinces her they are there. From there, he spins a delusional yarn about government experiments and spouts entirely too much knowledge about the creatures. We´re always waiting for the horror side of the film to kick in, but the script is hell bent on fitting into the black comedy genre. Which is fine, is the content was in the least bit humorous-or darkly funny, whichever you prefer. Whatever comedy was in the original play is lost here, as Agnes is a walking train wreck before our very eyes and Peter gives off a "don´t come near me" vibe. Friedkin has insisted this isn´t a horror film; I wish someone would have included that sound bite in the trailers. If I can piece together the "logic" spouted near the end by the two: the government let him escape to see how the experiment would end; they also let Jerry out of jail to keep tabs on both Agnes and Peter; they ALSO forced through custody for RC´s lesbian partner´s kid in order to have RC introduce Peter and Agnes; they took Lloyd (Agnes and Jerry´s son) to have something to blackmail her with…oh hell, forget it. This theory is shouted at the top of Judd´s lungs in what mercifully passes for the climax. If you can keep track of everything the government allegedly does in this film, more power to you. Suffice to say Peter is a drone, he finds Agnes his queen and they´re supposed to create a swarm of wonderful little bugs. Why? How the hell should I know? The script doesn´t even know. I never thought I´d say this, but it is entirely in the realm of possibility Ashley Judd will be recognized with some sort of acting nomination in this award season. She is the only thing that remotely keeps "Bug" afloat. The actress has become more than the stock tough female character we saw in her various detective/murder films ("Double Jeopardy" and "Eye of the Beholder"): she lets herself inhabit Agnes completely. We can see it in her eyes through the entire film, withered and tired, afraid and independent. And really only Judd could pull off the laughably awful finale, spitting gas out of her mouth and proclaiming who she has turned into. The worst part of this entire exercise is we´re never even sure what the hell is going on. Not once does anyone with any credibility come onto the screen and tell the truth. A government "doctor" does show up late in the film, though his assertions carry the weight of a gnat. Do we believe he really is a doc and exists or is he a figment of both Agnes and Peter´s imaginations? Is it a government conspiracy or do the bugs actually exist? The most definite proof we can hope to see is to look through Peter´s microscope at blood samples. To keep us off balance, we never do see what´s inside the samples, only shots of what could be on the slides. "Bug" is a horrible mess of a movie that neither delivers on its director´s pedigree nor on the trailers. For those reasons and a whole host more already outlined, it rates a 3 on the scale of 1 to 10. The film is only marginally redeemed by Ashley Judd. Avoid at all costs.

The actress has become more than the stock tough female character we saw in her various detective/murder films ("Double Jeopardy" and "Eye of the Beholder"): she lets herself inhabit Agnes completely. We can see it in her eyes through the entire film, withered and tired, afraid and independent. And really only Judd could pull off the laughably awful finale, spitting gas out of her mouth and proclaiming who she has turned into. The worst part of this entire exercise is we&acute;re never even sure what the hell is going on. Not once does anyone with any credibility come onto the screen and tell the truth. A government "doctor" does show up late in the film, though his assertions carry the weight of a gnat. Do we believe he really is a doc and exists or is he a figment of both Agnes and Peter&acute;s imaginations? Is it a government conspiracy or do the bugs actually exist? The most definite proof we can hope to see is to look through Peter&acute;s microscope at blood samples. To keep us off balance, we never do see what&acute;s inside the samples, only shots of what could be on the slides. "Bug" is a horrible mess of a movie that neither delivers on its director&acute;s pedigree nor on the trailers. For those reasons and a whole host more already outlined, it rates a 3 on the scale of 1 to 10. The film is only marginally redeemed by Ashley Judd. Avoid at all costs. http://www.spout.com/blogs/cinemarian/archive/2008/5/12/28649.aspx Post By: CinemaRian

Body: Bug is a masterpiece. It is a compelling character study, a romance, a horror film, and a thriller incorporating elements of science fiction. It is a bold return to greatness from William Friedkin, who made two of the best films of the 70's, The French Connection and The Exorcist. Bug is even better than those films, and will certainly be on my list of the best films of 2007. It is often said that is harder to make a movie based on a play than one based on a novel, because the theatrical form is inherently uncinematic. Aside from a few early scenes set a bar and a supermarket, the entire film of Bug is set in a cheap Oklahoma hotel room. The story involves a woman named Agnes White. Agnes is played by Ashley Judd, in a performance that deserves an Academy Award. She is an ordinary woman who has lived a tragic life. Her abusive ex-husband (Harry Conneck, Jr.) has just been released from prison and harassing her, and she still has not recovered from the disappearance of her young son years ago. She is bored with her own life, which is boredom punctuated by misery and drugs. One evening, she meets up with her friend R.C. (Lynn Collins) at a bar and meets one her aquatences, a nice but eccentric man named Peter Evans (Michael Shannon). Agnes and Peter develop a friendship that later turns into an act of desperation, and then incredible but totally believable (well sort of, you'll know what I mean) begin to happen. Bug is like another great film, Bunny Lake is Missing. Both movies exploit the cinematic form to simultaneously show what appears to be an objective view of events while taking us inside the characters minds. Lake had four distinct points of view- the uncle, the mother, the detective and the camera. Bug straddles these lines a bit- it appears that the first half is entirely from Agnes's point of view, which is the same as the camera's, but then something strange happens, and we loose our objectivity. How much of this is in Peter's mind? How much is Agnes's? How much is Friedkin showing us what is "objectively" happening? All this would be only a mere academic exercise if there were not characters that we could care about in get involved with, but I felt the plight of Agnes deeply. We understand the change she makes in the film totally- her life is so ordinary and banal that it is psychologically appealing to her to place herself in any meta-narrative or mythology, no matter how ridiculous. Peter, although a genuinely kind man, is not a good choice for her, but she clings to him because he is nice even when no one else will be. They go down an unpredictable to path that is either tragic or noble and heroic, depending on your point of view. And thus Bug is a lot more than a simple horror movie- it's a real human tale of lives that get caught in an inexplicable spiral downward, which to Agnes might be better than a slow journey into poverty and middle age. After the film ends, I was reminded of Kurt Cobain wrote on his suicide note: "It's better to burn out than to fade away". Bug (2006)

[/quote] Tru dat, I tend to try to watch the movies that I'm most interested in seeing by myself.

Jerry stahl is his name and there was a movie done on his life with Ben Stiller in it called Permanent Midnight. The book was better and Stahl has been in the script writing business along time. He actually started out writing porn. If you have ever read Perv-A Love story, then you would understand his very bizarre and off the wall dark humor. Here's a site if your interested http://dir.salon.com/story/books/review/1999/10/19/stahl/ Stahl was writing for CSI the last I knew and if you understand his style, you can pick up on what episodes are his, by the nature of the program. Like the CSI episode about the powerful Vegas mogel that like to be treated like a baby that got killed and that's how they found him on all fours! Or the part in Bad Boys II when Martin Lawrence is in the attic and the two mice are having sex. Things like that..

Body: Like many people, I thought Bug was a horror movie, but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. Instead, this is an intriguing psychological study of the illusions we'll endure for the promise of love. The movie that comes to mind is Richard Linklater's Tape. It is perhaps just the off-Broadway feel. Night of the Living Dead has a similar economy. Ashley Judd is excellent, but the movie's main flaw is with her character. There is not enough to convince me of her desperation. Sure, she is a white trash woman with a lot to regret, but her endurance is what I am most convinced of. Harry Connick, Jr. is more Tony Franciosa than ever. He is a wicked thug. Michael Shannon is a pleasant surprise.After the set up, the movie changes character significantly, but never quite outlives it's pretenses. Craziness kicks into high gear out of the blue. Harry Connick's character falls by the wayside. The climax has to come because all sympathy is blasted from the characters. Still, I enjoyed the ride.
