Recovering from a nervous breakdown and just released from an institution, Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller) returns to Los Angeles in Noah Baumbach's Greenberg. Returning from New York to take care of his brother's (Chris Messina) house, Greenberg's trying to spend some time "doing nothing," he reconnects with his old friend and former bandmate (Rhys Ifans) and tracks down an old flame (Jennifer Jason Leigh), but his general malaise and unshakable bad attitude could drive away everyone in his life, even his new girlfriend (Greta Gerwig) who tolerates his lashing out because she believes there is a tender heart behind it all. On DVD and Blu-Ray.

A down-on-his-luck bounty hunter (Gerard Butler) gets the bonus of tracking down his bail jumping ex-wife (Jennifer Aniston) in the action/romance/comedy The Bounty Hunter, but trouble always breaks out any time the two of them are together. Worse, she's a reporter on the tail of a dangerous criminal, and he's an ex-cop that could actually help her with the case... if he's willing to take her anywhere but jail. On DVD and Blu-Ray.

When her mother (Susan Sarandon) overdraws a credit card in her name, Grace (Eva Amurri) has her tuition loans declined and gets a low paying job at a water park in Middle of Nowhere.

With Justin Chatwin and Scott A. Martin.

A failed gambler (Steve Buscemi) leaves Vegas to start a normal life in Albuquerque in Saint John of Las Vegas. His boss (Peter Dinklage) at the auto insurance company offers him a promotion: he'll go on the road investigating fraudulent claims with the company's most merciless investigator (Romany Malco), but the case will take him back to the home of his worst weaknesses: Las Vegas. With Sarah Silverman.

Robert, an out of work musician (David Thornton) barely getting by in New York, takes an odd job moving furniture with Branko, a Serbian immigrant, who offers him a way to make some quick money: Robert will fly to Serbia and marry Branko's girlfriend so that she can legally emigrate to the United States in Here & There, but his time in Serbia isn't quite what he bargained for.

13-year-old Esther is an outcast in her private school in Hey Hey, It's Esther Blueburger, so she lies her way into public school, under the wing of rebellious bad girl Sunni (Keisha Castle-Hughes). Esther uses her new school, new attitude, and new friends to throw off her awkward, picked-on persona... though the new Esther might be more popular, she could be losing everything that made her a decent girl. With Toni Collette.

When America Ferrera and Lance Gross are preparing for their wedding in Our Family Wedding, they have to survive their families' meddling in their big day as their assertive, alpha-male fathers (Carlos Mencia and Forest Whitaker) each vie for control, and the bride's mother (Regina King) is designing the wedding more to her taste than to her daughter's.
