Oblivion
When a memory-wiped drone repairman (Tom Cruise) on Future
Effdup Earth rescues a mysterious-but-familiar woman (Olga Kurylenko)
from a downed spacecraft … not much happens, but it looks really cool.
That’s enough, right? (Universal)
Strike Back: Season 2
Cinemax’s
live-action Team America returns for a second season with a new boss
(Rhona Mitra), new bad guys (terrorists with nuclear triggers) and
ridiculous new levels of violence, nudity, yelling and explosions. So,
awesome TV. (HBO)
Community: Season 4
The season without showrunner Dan Harmon—hey,

thing, the Thanksgiving thing, the Christmas thing, the puppet thing,
the graduation thing … OK, it was pretty bad. (Sony)
The Best of Fridays
The cult 1980-82 late-night sketch series,
finally on DVD! Well, some of it. Featuring players Michael Richards and
Larry David (with hair!), performances by Devo, The Clash and Kiss, and
a fight with Andy Kaufman. (Shout Factory)

On her 25th birthday, Amelia (Electra Avellan) realizes that she’s now too old to become a famous actress: “In Hollywood, 25 is the new dead.” Also starring Danny Trejo, Jennifer Tilly, Margaret Cho and other spry youngsters. (Breaking Glass)
