The Conjuring
Paranormal investigators (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) are called to help a family terrorized by demons in a farmhouse. Is their first course of action, “Hey, let’s move you hillbillies out of this hell-infested dump”? Of course not. (Warner Bros.)
Happy Endings: Season 3
The final season of one of the best network comedies ever, which died because you didn’t watch it hard enough. Well, not you, per se, but all those other lame people who don’t possess your excellent taste in TV/DVD columns. (Sony; Oct. 1)
I Give It a Year
Opposites Nat (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Rafe Spall) fall in love and get married against friends’ and families’ protests. Then they realize they can’t stand each other; keeping-up-appearances hilarity would ensue if this were a comedy … It is?! (Magnolia)
The Internship
When two 40-something salesmen (Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson) lose their jobs, is their first course of action, “Hey, let’s become paranormal investigators”? Of course not—they use their old-school smarts to become Google interns. (Fox)
The Way Way Back
A teen’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mom (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend (Steve Carell) totally sucks—until he becomes pals with the manager of a local water park (Sam Rockwell). Filmed in indie-flick Instagram. (Fox Searchlight)
