Forward-thinking Dr. Mortimer Granville (Hugh Dancy) loses his job in late 1800s England when he refuses to ignore the new "germ theory" in Hysteria. Though it's difficult for a doctor who believes in germs to find work, he's eventually hired to assist Dr. Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce)
to treat women suffering from "hysteria" by manually massaging them to
"paroxysmal convulsions." Mortimer is popular at the clinic and is drawn
to Dr. Dalrymple's youngest daughter (Felicity Jones),
a proper English young lady, until he develops hand cramps and cannot
satisfy his patients' needs. When he notices the vibrations in his
friend's (Rupert Everett)
invention, an electric duster, Mortimer comes up with an idea for a
device that could induce paroxysms more efficiently than a doctor's
massage. His outcast status and breaks from traditions draws him to
Dalrymple's other daughter (Maggie Gyllenhaal),
an opinionated, educated woman whose refusal to fall in line with
conventional thinking could lead some to label her hysterical. On DVD
and Blu Ray.
and in a way, it is, but not only are they stuck in a traditional horror movie set up, they're being monitored by technicians (Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford)
making sure everything goes according to plan. As their vacation goes
inevitably awry, they discover that there's more to being trapped in a
"spam in a cabin" movie than they suspected. On DVD and Blu Ray.
When Second Lieutenant Bart Gregory (David Anders) is killed in action in Iraq, his body is shipped home. His best friend Joey (Chris Wylde) has a bit of a shock after the funeral: Bart has risen from the grave, come to Joey's apartment, and wants some help figuring out his condition in The Revenant. They discover Bart needs fresh blood to keep himself from decomposing, but they find a benefit of being undead when Bart gets shot in the middle of a robbery... he can't be killed. Bart and Joey take to the streets to foil crimes and thin the criminal population. Being the living dead has other unexpected side effects, and their adventure can't possibly go the way they planned.

Charming, Sweet, and Light
In John Madden's ensemble comedy The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,
a group of British seniors travel to India only to discover their hotel
isn't the luxurious palace they were expecting. The building is run by
Sonny (Dev Patel),
a young man trying to keep his departed father's beloved hotel alive by
advertising to elderly vacationers, and he is suddenly the host of a
recently widowed housewife (Judi Dench), a retired judge (Tom Wilkinson) who grew up in India, a couple (Penelope Wilton and Bill Nighy) looking for a retirement they can afford, a single woman (Celia Imrie) searching for a new husband, a self-styled ladies man (Ronald Pickup) trying to re-live his youth, and woman (Maggie Smith)

the guests initially have trouble with their new environment... until,
one by one, they understand that not getting what they expect has given
them what they need. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Monsters
Written by Joss Whedon, The Cabin in the Woods is both a bloody monster movie and a clever horror comedy where college student Dana (Kristen Connolly) is joining her friends (Chris Hemsworth and Fran Kranz) and the guy they're setting her up with (Jesse Williams) for a weekend in a remote cabin. It sounds like the set-up for any number of generic horror movies...and in a way, it is, but not only are they stuck in a traditional horror movie set up, they're being monitored by technicians (Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford)

In French
American Tom (Ethan Hawke) comes to Paris to be closer to his daughter in The Woman in the Fifth,
but his ex-wife doesn't want anything to do with him. Tom, a writer
whose first novel was a moderate success, finds himself adrift in France
with no money, no work, and no place to stay... but as he starts to put
a new life together, he begins an affair with the elegant Margit (Kristin Scott Thomas),
an elegant widow who sets elaborate rules for their trysts. Margit
tells him that his hardships (and relationship with her) will make Tom's
next novel a masterpiece... and then people start dying around him.
Since meeting Margit, Tom's reality shifts into a strange, dreamlike
haze, and the lines between his real and fictitious lives blur into
literary symbolism.

dealing with a recent ordeal, and Mr. Lazhar may be the perfect man to
help with the children's grief and confusion. On DVD and Blu Ray.

Tommy (Paul Schneider) and Audrey (Olivia Munn) have been trying to have a baby but just can't get pregnant in Jay Chandrasekhar's The Babymakers.
Tommy doesn't want to believe the doctor that tells him he has a low
sperm count, because he's made numerous donations to a sperm bank... and
they wouldn't have paid him for useless samples. This gives him an
idea: he enlists his best friend (Kevin Heffernan)
to set up a heist, raiding a clinic and re-claiming his genetic
material, but these guys are hardly criminal masterminds. What they lack
in planning and experience, they make up in crazy dedication, and they
might just be able to come out of the ordeal with a baby.
Charismatic, evangelical Pastor Dan Day (Pierce Brosnan) gets together with popular, published atheist Dr. Blaylock (Ed Harris) after their debate in Salvation Boulevard,

Dead-head Carl (Greg Kinnear),
who watches the pastor frame the shooting as a suicide. No one believes
Carl's story, and he's suddenly on a strange side of a morality debate
that includes his zealot wife (Jennifer Connelly), mobster real estate agents, and friends willing to sacrifice him to save their church.
