...would be tough. But they hoped that a lot could be fixed in conference with the House, which Democrats control by a much larger majority. But to the environmentalists' dismay, when House chairmen floated their bill last week, it came out even weaker than the Senate version - with more lax fuel efficiency standards and a coal-to-liquid provision...
...arrested for assault but not for jaywalking. It's time to think seriously about exactly where the act of illegal immigration lies in the spectrum of criminality.

But still, there is a conviction here that (a) transcends any attempt to categorize the film generically and (b) challenges the lax, we're-just-kidding-around spirit of most American movies (see, or rather don't see Grindhouse, for example). Like it or not, Bug takes you deep into the realm of abnormal psychology. Like it or not, it is a serious movie, very possibly Friedkin's best. In any case...
