Ed & Lorraine Warren: 'Conjuring' Up The Wicked

We love to be scared. We love it even more when it's based on a true story. Director James Wan  who brought you Saw and Insidious , has a new horror film out -  The Conjuring . The bone chilling tale based on the true events experienced by husband and wife Ed and Lorraine Warren - the paranormal investigator dream team. The film takes place in 1971, where the Warrens give lectures on demonology at Universities, aside from debunking paranormal cases with their years of expertise. The Warrens even have a museum of haunted artifacts in their abode, taken from cases so haunting, they have a priest on the payroll who regularly visits to bless the room. The Warrens are brought on by Carolyn Perron, played by  Lily Taylor ( The Haunting , Six Feet Under ), to help her family of five daughters who are being haunted and taunted by dark spirits in their farmhouse. Things go bump-in-the-night, to say the least....

'Young Adult' Section, Please

Dynamic duo Diablo Cody ( Juno , United States of Tara )and Jason Reitman ( Juno , Up in the Air ) strike again with their latest dark comedy Young Adult . The film follows a woman ( Charlize Theron ) who is immensely screwed up and enigmatic to watch, though may be viewed as a modern monster (but, only because she's a woman). Theron gives her best on-screen work since 2003's Monster as the unapologetic writer who struggles with her status as a young adult, while taking swigs from her buddy Patton Oswalt 's ( United States of Tara ) "Star Wars juice," and destroying every person who gets in the way of marriage-reassignment with a high school ex. Equipped with a '90s college rock soundtrack, watch as Theron returns home and shakes the town up.
