31 in 31: Day 2 - The Nun (2018)

This year to celebrate the Halloween month I have decided to watch 31 Horror Movies that I have never seen before in 31 Days... 31 in 31. I love Horror Films, but instead of watching the standard classics and usual fan favorites (trust me... I will watch many of them TOO!) I am going to venture out into some uncharted territory with my selections. Wish me luck....

Day 2: The Nun (2018)

Lorraine Warren, Ghost Hunter

I was taken aback with just how good 'The Conjuring' actually was. It was on my list of my most anticipated movies of 2013 and definitely earned that spot. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson brought real life paranormal investigators the Warrens to life on the big screen in a way that made you root for them the whole movie. What a great portrayal of two real people... even though the story is SUPPOSEDLY based on real events, there is no disputing the fact that the Warrens were real people and Farmiga/Wilson did them some justice. But watching the movie and reading up on it a bit made me wonder just what this supernatural super team was all about in real life. I plan on grabbing a few of their books and contemplated making a trip to their Connecticut home (where they created a supernatural museum of all the artifacts they have gathered). But what were these people actually like? Ed Warren passed away a few years back, but Leslie Warren is still ticking at 86 and was very active in developing the film. She also did a lot of press with director James Wan and I came across a clip that shows you just what the tough little lady is all about. It makes you want to see more of her... and it makes me appreciate Farmiga's portrayal of her that much more. If you like true haunted house/horror stories, 'The Conjuring' is for you. Check out the video after the jump to see what Leslie Warren is really all about in the flesh....

OHC of the Day: Rose Byrne

Most actresses are hoping by the time they are 31 they will be a household name... but this is a new era of Hollywood, and according to Jay-Z 30 is the new 20... if that is true, then Rose Byrne is right where she needs to be. To be fair, most of you guys have seen Rose on the big screen. She has been in a ton of shit. She played a small part as Padme's handmaiden in 'Attack of the Clones', she was in big budget flicks like 'Troy' & 'Knowing', was in Indie fare like Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette', and is one of Danny Boyle's go-to actresses having appeared in 'Sunshine' & '28 Weeks Later'. She has also been starring opposite Glenn Close on FX's 'Damages', which I have never watched but is always raved about by everyone who does. So her resume is deep. Yet most of you will only be able to recognize her as Aldous Snow's baby mama Jackie Q in 'Get Him To The Greek'. That  is all about to change. She is starring in James Wan's (The creator of the 'Saw' franchise) new horror flick 'Insidious', then she is in the all star, all girl comedy 'Bridesmaids' opposite Kristen Wiig & Maya Rudolph, and the she finishes off the trifecta by portraying Moira McTaggert in Matthew Vaughn's 'X-Men: First Class'. Let's see if you can't match a name to this beautifyl face after those three roles. I don't think that will be the case. Congrats Rose, success has been a long time coming.
