Bug

Memorial Day weekend I went to see the new Ashley Judd movie Bug. What a crazy ass movie. It was good but, man it was even more trippy than I thought it was going to be. None of the story turned out the way I thought it would which was a good thing. It wasn't your standard formula for any genre of movie especially horror.

Ashley was fantastica as always. There were times when the material was a little flat but, she made the best of it. And she had one of the biggest most complicated monologues I have ever heard. And it wasn't just complicated because of how long it was it also had to be delivered in this rambling, fast, way as her character put the pieces together. Or put what she thought were the pieces together. It was really quite extrodanairy that she did such a great job with it.

The other actors were good but it was mostly just her and Michael Shannon locked in a hotel room. A couple other characters stopped by a few times but, that was it. They did their part and where all good. Michael held up his end of the bargin very well and thus the movie turned out very good.

Overall I really enjoyed the movie and it was worth full price. However, because it is so different and out there I don't think it is a movie for everyone. Most people would probably enjoy it on video.
