Bug - September 25
Though he's made some sub par stuff lately, William Friedkin still rocks. One of my favorite movies he did was the classic TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA with William Petersen and Willem Dafoe. Definitely a must see. BUG is about a spooky motel room and Ashley Judd is in it. Sold. The DVD consists of a Feature Commentary with William Friedkin, the featurette BUG: An Introduction, and A Discussion with William Friedkin .
Misery (SE) - October 2
