    Bug (2006) Rated “R”
    Starring Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon, Lynn Collins, Brian F. O’Byrne, Harry Connick, Jr.
    Directed by William Friedkin
    Review by Nicholas Ozment
    Rating: (2/5):

    In the trailer for Bug, Mr. Movie-Preview-Voice says in that slow, deep, menacing tone, "They live in your blood. They feed on your brain." The trailer also emphasizes it is from the director of The Exorcist (William Friedkin), and quotes a critic proclaiming, "One of the most disturbing horror movies imaginable." ...

    Turning Point, by Lisanne Norman
    Reviewed by Joshua Palmatier

    Publisher:DAW
    Year Published: 1993

    I don't read a ton of science fiction, but my general impression of Turning Point by Lisanne Norman is that it is "classic" SF. It's not hard SF, certainly, but more along the lines of an adventure SF novel. The ton of the book, and the general flavor of the writing, is also more "classic" in nature, reminding me heavily of my days reading Andre Norton. This is not much of a surprise because it was published in 1993, so it is 17 years old. ...

    Deadgirl (2008), Rated "R"
    Starring Shiloh Fernandez, Noah Segan, Jenny Spain
    Directed by Marcel Sarmiento and Gadi Harel
    Review by Dave Felts
    Rating (2/5):

    High-schoolers J.T. (Noah Segan) and Rickie (Shiloh Fernandez) occupy the bottom rung on the social ladder at their local high school, so ignored they aren't even picked on. Bored and with an opportunity presenting itself, they decide to ditch. J.T. has a warm six-pack of beer in his backpack, and the two decide a good place to drink it - and engage in some beer inspired vandalism - is the abandoned mental hospital locally known as the 'nuthouse'. ...

    Review by Dave Felts
    Rating (2/5):

    I've known about Netflix delivering streaming movies for a while, but watching shows on the computer just isn't for me, though I suspect my children won't be bothered by it. Then I learned I could stream right through my Wii! I ordered the disk from Netflix (free), it showed up in 2 days, and a few minutes later I was browsing available View Now movies and shows. I'm not an early adoptor by any means, but that was pretty cool. And convenient. Most of the stuff available for immediate streaming is older or less well known, but I rarely catch stuff when it's new, so there was plenty I was interested in. ...

    The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), Rated PG-13
    Starring Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene
    Directed by David Slade
    Review by Dave Felts
    Rating (2/5):

    Yeah, I saw Twilight Eclipse yesterday, along with my wife and kids. My son was the only one for whom the burden was too great: too much kissing he reported as the credits rolled. Except for some action packed vampire/werewolf battle scenes, he spent most of the time squirming. My daughter read the books a few years ago, tore through them in a month or two. I'm not going to discuss their merits. Suffice to say that I think anything that gets kids reading is a positive. ...
