Ashley Judd (Twisted) and Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water) give searing performances in this skin-crawling exercise in fear and paranoia from The Exorcist director William Friedkin. Oklahoma waitress Aggie (Judd) lives a largely solitary life in a rundown motel, haunted by a tragic past and hounded by her ex-con ex-husband (Harry Connick, Jr.). But when she sparks a romance with Peter (Shannon), an eccentric drifter, she starts to feel hopeful again until Peter reveals that he was a victim of government experimentation that left blood-hungry aphids festering under his skin. The couple begins to obsess over the nightmarish idea that they are infected by insects. A controversial, claustrophobic love story, Bug is a minor masterpiece of tension and insanity (The Guardian) adapted by Tracy Letts (Killer Joe, August: Osage County) from his play.

Product Description From Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton (Best Animated Film, WALL-E, 2008) comes JOHN CARTER -- a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs's classic novel, John Carter is a war-weary, former military captain who's inexplicably transported to Mars and reluctantly becomes embroiled in an epic conflict. It's a world on the brink of collapse, and Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands. With stunning special effects, great characters and villains, JOHN CARTER is a heroic and inspirational adventure that will thrill you beyond imagination. Amazon.com Disney's megabudget foray into a new CGI franchise of epic sci-fi mythology arrives with a massive marketing push and an interesting pulp pedigree that will probably inspire as many fans as it will naysayers. This impressively crafted piece of escapist fantasy is based on a character and series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs that is runner-up to his primary creation, Tarzan, and the 20-plus volumes he wrote about that iconic ape-raised jungle adventurer. Burroughs churned out books in both series concurrently for roughly his entire adult life in the first half of the 20th century. John Carter is a former Confederate Civil War captain and fortune-hunting ne'er-do-well who through a weird incident of astral projection is plopped down on the red planet, where he becomes a passionate warrior against beasts and humanoids for the security of a home world known to its inhabitants as Barsoom. John Carter presents this origin setup in a clever prologue that finds the cranky Carter on the run from frontier military authorities as well as a band of marauding Indians. Carter is played by Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch with great bravado. His character undergoes radical change when confronted with something he can finally care about. It doesn't hurt that an exotic princess of Mars is part of the prize package that comes from his battle against evil and ultimately doing the right thing. John Carter is a visual feast (especially in well-conceived 3-D) with an array of digital and motion-capture techniques that create an eye-popping world of strange creatures, astounding architectural vistas, aerial panoramas, and luminous landscapes. All the extraordinary detail is not surprising considering that Pixar superstar Andrew Stanton is at the helm (he also directed Finding Nemo and WALL-E). There's a lot going on in the script, and it sometimes feels as though too much work was done in the editing suite to streamline a story that is often overly complicated. Barsoom is ruled by three species, all with their own political and social agendas. There are the humans whose city-state cultures are threatened by civil war and the aggression of Tharks, a race of giant green-skinned, four-armed warriors with horrific tusks and a deeply bellicose intellect. Separate from both are the mythic Therns, a cultlike sect of über-beings who seek to manipulate all of Barsoom into their own submission. Added to the mix are a variety of outrageous animal creatures both vicious and sublime that make for an extremely motley ensemble of beasties. The huge cast of characters, species, and names becomes a bit confusing to keep straight in all the rapid-fire exposition. Fortunately the movie doesn't ever stop long enough to allow much time for thinking; there's something new and exciting to look at in virtually every scene. Because of some fantastical leaps of physics and gravity, Carter's Martian body possesses super strength and the ability to make single bounds over huge distances. His powers not only make him a godlike presence to the natives of Barsoom, they also provide for some dizzying feats of movie magic. The most bravura element of the conceptual design is a fleet of massive solar-powered flying machines that recall something out of H.G. Wells or a steampunk fantasy. These colorful, insectlike machines soar and float in the gold-hued Martian atmosphere with thrilling precision. Even though the multitude of beings, names, and alliances may sometimes elicit a glassy-eyed response, there's plenty of attention-grabbing exactitude to behold in John Carter. There's also a good chance that the fans will make it worth Disney's while to shell out another hundred million to keep the saga going. --Ted Fry Related Products Amazon's Disney Store More John Carter More Blu-ray 3D Movies Versions of John Carter on Blu-ray and DVD John Carter John Carter (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) John Carter (Four-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD + Digital Copy) Release Date June 5, 2012 June 5, 2012 June 5, 2012 Format/Disc # DVD Blu-ray, DVD Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD + Digital Copy Blu-ray No Yes Yes DVD Yes Yes Yes Digital Copy No No Yes Bonus Features None · Blu-ray Feature Film + Bonus · DVD Feature Film+ Bonus · Disney Second Screen · 360 Degrees of John Carter · Deleted Scene with Option Commentary by Director Andrew Stanton · Barsoom Bloopers · 100 Years in the Making · Audio Commentary with Film Makers · Blu-ray 3D (TM) Feature Film · Blu-ray Feature Film + Bonus · DVD Feature Film+ Bonus · Digital Copy of Feature Film · Disney Second Screen · 360 Degrees of John Carter · Deleted Scenes with Optional Commentary by Director Andrew Stanton · Barsoom Bloopers · 100 Years of in the Making · Audio Commentary with Film Makers
