The Last Exorcism Part II (2013)

	The Last Exorcism Part II (2013) Horror | Thriller As Nell Sweetzer tries to build a new life after the events of the first movie, the evil force that once possessed her returns with an even more horrific plan. Director:  Ed Gass-Donnelly Stars:  Ashley Bell, Spencer Treat Clark, Andrew Sensenig, Judd Lormand

THE BUZZ: Most interesting to us is the studio switch that finds the sequel to the surprise horror hit being released by CBS Films instead of Lionsgate. Back in 2010, the genre specialists relentlessly marketed the original for an $20 million opening weekend. Looks like CBS Films is determined to stick around and has begun to shell out for proven box-office hits (remember how The Woman in Black performed for them). Eli Roth is back in producer mode and probably knows more than anyone that this really is nowhere near the the last exorcism for poor Nell Sweetzer. Indie director Ed Gass-Donnelly (Small Town Murder Songs) gets the call up to the semi-big leagues.

21 and Over (2013)

	21 and Over (2013) Comedy The night before his big medical school exam, a promising student celebrates his 21st birthday with his two best friends. Directors:  Jon Lucas | Scott Moore Stars:  Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Jonathan Keltz, Sarah Wright

THE BUZZ: Considering the presence of screenwriters-turned-directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, and the fact that this movie was partially shot in China, I'm sensing we might be in store for a Hangover II-level misadventure for the Project X crowd. What doesn't make me cringe is knowing that Relativity Media, the studio behind the project, tends to make likeable if underrated youth comedies, including the recent Take Me Home Tonight. Also, star Miles Teller has successfully avoided our scorn by surviving both Footloose and the aforementioned PXwith his charm intact.
