Editors' Picks: Entertainment Must Haves For December

Reese Witherspoon turns in the performance of her career in Wild, the adaptation of Cheryl Strayed's novel. As a huge fan of the book and Strayed's work, we had high standards for the movie, and director Jean-Marc Vallée delivers, thanks in part to Witherspoon and Laura Dern, who plays Cheryl's mother. Expect the Oscar buzz to only get louder for this one, so see it when it comes out Dec. 3.
