Bug (2006)
You'll be sorry if you stick it out to the end
You keep thinking that this incredibly slow movie will pick up, that there will be some twist, anything to justify why you are still watching. Finally, you see the third or fourth oblique reference to the fact that there is an unending supply of white powder they are smoking out of a glass bong and you say, "Oh, it's about meth heads." That's all it is. Two already-crazy people hole up in a motel, and smoke crystal meth for a week straight until they mutilate themselves, scratching at imaginary bugs.
At this point, you just can't wait for it to end, but it keeps getting worse for another 20 minutes. If you are watching on DVD you WILL start fast-forwarding. Then after you see the ending in fast-forward, you'll think you missed something and you'll go back trying to find it. But you didn't miss anything. The pieces needed to make it all make sense aren't there. Even knowing that most if it is delusion, there is no sensible explanation of what really happened. Why was the violent ex-husband able to see the bugs at the beginning, unless it's all delusion from frame one? Forget it. Don't even try. It's really not worth it.
Flavor of Love (2006)
Addictively trashy
This dating show seems to have accepted all the girls that were rejected from The Bachelor for being too trashy or just not that hot. It's amazing to think that they could find 12 women willing to pretend to be romantically interested in Flavor Flav, but here it is. It's a blast to watch because these women are just plain wacko, especially New York and Hottie.
Red Orchid seems to be a plant from the producers. Judging by her MySpace page she's pretty much a professional reality show contestant.
Hoopz is the only girl who seems not to be crazy. But then, what is she doing on this show?
Try to catch the marathon, because once you start watching you'll want to see how it ends.
