Charlize Theron’s New Movie, Young Adult, is a great date movie or with pals but if you’re feeling low about life and pining a long lost love, go with somebody, don’t go alone—not now, around the holidays. The ending isn’t tied up with a bow, but you want to kill yourself either.
A DANGEROUS METHOD was directed by David Cronenberg (Eastern Promises, A History of Violence, Crash) from a screenplay by Academy Award winning writer Christopher Hampton (Atonement, Dangerous Liaisons) and stars Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Vincent Cassel.

In 1964, Ken Kesey, author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and thirteen “Merry Pranksters” painted a bus in frenzied Day-Glo, named it “Furthur” and took off on an LSD-fueled road trip. Now 10 years after Kesey’s death, filmmakers Alison Ellwood and Alex Gibney have captured it all in a new movie, Magic Trip, opening in theaters August 12.
