Bug: The Exorcist Director's Underrated Masterpiece About Meth and Motels

Neville Naidoo — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 01:06:25 GMT

Some filmmakers just have a special quality to them that isn't always easy to define, but sets them apart for the levels of nuance they're able to achieve with their art form. William Friedkin was a director who certainly fit this bill. He was the Academy Award-winning director of The French Connection but was probably best known for the horror classic The Exorcist (which also earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Director the following year).

Brian Gallagher's Top Overrated / Underrated Movies of 2012

Brian Gallagher — Mon, 31 Dec 2012 23:49:49 GMT

Back in June, I had only seen just over 20 movies that had been released in 2012. After deciding that was unacceptable, and thanks to Netflix Instant, Redbox, Amazon Instant Video, and of course, advanced screenings and my local Hollywood theaters, I devoted the last half of the year to seeing as many movies as I could, bringing my tally to around 150 for the year (check out the full list of all the 2012 movies I watched this year here). Since the Mayan apocalypse never came a few days ago, I figured it is a good time to break down my favorite movies of the year. Like last year, I have compiled three separate lists: the Most Overrated Moves of the Year, Most Underrated Movies of the Year, and my Top 10.
