ALSO OPENING
BUG
A paranoid war veteran (“Lucky You’s” Michael Shannon) who sees insects everywhere, blaming them on a diabolical Army experiment gone awry, takes refuge in a seedy Oklahoma motel, accompanied by a cocktail waitress (Ashley Judd) trying to escape her wacko ex (Harry Connick Jr.) in “Exorcist” director William Friedkin’s horror thriller, an award-winner at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. At multiple locations. (102 minutes) R; strong violence, sexuality, nudity, profanity, drug use.
THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY
Two brothers (Cillian Murphy, Padraic Delaney) — one a pragmatic medical student, the other a seminarian turned soldier — unite, then split apart, during the Irish Republican Army’s fight for independence in the early 1920s. This war drama from director Ken Loach (“My Name is Joe,” “Land and Freedom”) captured top honors at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. Part of the CineVegas screening series at Neonopolis. (127 minutes) NR; violence.
