WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
Based on the memoir by producer Art Linson ("Fight Club," among others), this mild inside Hollywood tale stars Robert DeNiro as a movie executive struggling to save two troubled pictures (an arty thriller in which a dog dies, and an action movie starring Bruce Willis) as well as his marriage to estranged second wife Robin Wright Penn. Catherine Keener and John Turturro also star. R, 107 minutes
SEX DRIVE
Stop me if you've heard this one before: a horny teen embarks on a road trip with the promise of sex as his ultimate destination. Aside from the fact that he meets his would-be score online - and the raunchiness has risen over the past few decades - this could be one of those cheesy '80s classics, complete with the hot gal pal our hero has overlooked in favor of someone calling herself "Ms. Tasty." R, 101 minutes
BREAKING BAD - THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON
Bryan Cranston (you'll remember him as Hal from "Malcolm in the Middle") strays into darker territory as a science teacher whose life is upended by a terminal illness. But instead of getting all sentimental about it, he decides to cook up crystal meth, the better to support his family. Series creator Vince Gilligan is an "X Files" vet. Not rated, 346 minutes
