Bug (1975)
An obscure little movie...
with well-done insect effects sequences. BUG is one of those movies that will have you scratching your arms, legs, and back because as you watch it, you will think that you feel the insects on you. I was surprised to learn that BUG is rated PG; if it were made today, I think it would be rated PG-13. This movie is neither for the squeamish nor for those with weak stomachs. Bradford Dillman is interesting but a little over the top as the normal human being who degenerates into a mad scientist after several other characters fall victim to the bugs.
Breezy (1973)
Pleasant and diverting...
The late William Holden provides further proof of his considerable acting talent in this sleeper film from 1973. Kay Lenz and the supporting cast members are also enjoyable. This is a refreshingly low-key romantic drama and doesn't have much comic relief, but it's still a good movie. It is also a change from director Clint Eastwood's more violent films. I don't remember hearing any objectionable four-letter words and I don't remember any violence. The lush scenery is an appropriate backdrop for the main characters' unlikely love affair. I should mention that there is nudity in the film. Kay Lenz appears topless several times. If you don't like brief nudity (which occurs several times), you may want to pass on this film.
