Wasted Youth

New parents Mac and Kelly (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) are excited to own their first home in Neighbors. Their lives have changed-- they can't go out as often and most of their energy is spent raising their baby-- but they are happy with their new life... until the Delta Psi Beta fraternity buys the house next door. They introduce themselves to the frat president (Zac Efron) and vice president (Dave Franco) and try to prove they're the "cool" neighbors, but noise from frat parties keeps the baby awake, and noise complaints to the police just make the fraternity angry, so the two houses quickly go to war. As the frat traumatizes their square, older neighbors, Mac and Kelly plot elaborate schemes to destroy the frat house and reclaim their neighborhood, but as either side raises the stakes, their battles become more and more extreme. With Christopher Mintz-Plasse. On DVD and Blu Ray.

Danger in the Unexplained

Nic and is driving his girlfriend Olivia cross-country after she's accepted to a prestigious school when a detour ends with them waking up in quarantine in The Signal. Regaining consciousness in a sterile, underground facility, Nic is held and questioned by a hazmat-suited Dr. William Damon (Laurence Fishburne). Locked away against his will, Nic can only communicate with the outside world through the facility's air vents, and as he plots an escape for Olivia and himself, he tries to piece together what has happened to him, and why everything about his situation seems not quite right. With Lin Shaye.

Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef (Susan Sarandon) is a burned-out, alcoholic cop confronted with her small, Ontario town's first murder in years in The Calling. With a fanatically religious killer on the loose, posing his victims in elaborate positions according to an ancient Christian ritual, Hazel, her weary partner Ray (Gil Bellows), and enthusiastic new recruit Ben (Topher Grace) have to track down and catch the kind of monster they never thought they'd have to face. Following the trail of grizzly murders across the wintry, Canadian countryside, the detectives unravel the killer's grand plan and fight to stop the body count from rising. With Donald Sutherland.

Living in France, American lawyer Kate Moore (A.J. Cook) defends a client accused of being a werewolf in Wer, hoping to prove her stricken, feeble client is not guilty of a murder that would have required super-human strength to commit. With the help of her crack investigator (Vik Sahay), Kate sets out to prove that her timid client could not be the vicious murderer the police assume he is... but the deeper they delve into the details of the reports of wolfman attacks, the stranger their case becomes. With Sebastian Roche.

Last Summer

Lilly (Dakota Fanning) and Gerri (Elizabeth Olsen) are biding their time during their last summer in Brooklyn before heading off to their first year of college in Very Good Girls. Before heading to school, the girls make a pact to lose their virginity, but when they both set their sights on the same man-- rebellious, artistic ice cream vendor David (Boyd Holbrook)-- their friendship is tested. Their lives intertwined as Lily escapes her repressed, controlling parents (Ellen Barkin and Clark Gregg) to stay at Gerri's, with her much more loose, counterculture family (Demi Moore and Richard Dreyfuss), but their new rivalry threatens to tear them apart.

On the Road

Ten years after The Collapse, three bank robbers (including Scoot McNairy) make their escape by stealing a stranger's car in The Rover. Eric (Guy Pearce), the car's owner, recovers a barely functional truck and sets out across the violent, Australian wastelands to recover his stolen vehicle. Amid makeshift trading posts, military convoys, and homegrown circuses, Eric encounters Rey (Robert Pattinson), the fourth member of the bank robbery crew, injured and abandoned by his comrades. Together, they track down Eric's car (and Rey's gang) as they try to recapture their basic, survivng status quo in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world.

The Bat

Pressed into service by The Agency, Deadshot (Neal McDonough) is forced to lead a Suicide Squad (including Black Spider, Captain Boomerang, Killer Frost, KGBeast, King Shark, and Harley Quinn) into Gotham's most notorious asylum in Batman: Assault on Arkham. While Batman (Kevin Conroy) is kept busy searching for a bomb planted by the Joker (Troy Baker), the suicide squad have to break into Arkham, locate the Riddler (Matthew Gray Gruber), and secure the information The Riddler is holding over all their heads. Batman won't be distracted for long, and worse, Arkham is packed with dangerous villains... including The Joker.

Mushrooms

Lucien and Regina forage for wild mushrooms and sell them to New York City restaurants in Now Forager, but while mushroom expert Lucien is in love with his off-the-grid lifestyle and despises the idea of selling out, Regina has grown tired of scrounging for gas money and foraging for fungi. When Regina takes a job as a prep cook, Lucien takes off on a remote, mushroom hunting expedition, but they each run into new, unexpected challenges as they try to live without one another.
