Special features: Outtakes, deleted scenes.

Not rated, probable PG (violence, vulgarity)

"The Haunting of Molly Hartley" (Fox, $29.99) — ★★ — More novel than your average "Saw" installment, a chiller of modest ambition if unskilled execution.

PG-13 (violence, profanity) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

"The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice" (Sony, $24.96) — Made-for-television movie starring Noah Wyle as a globe-trotting adventurer.

"Red Sands" (Sony, $24.96) — Direct-to-video horror film about soldiers encountering a supernatural threat in Afghanistan.

R (violence, gore, profanity, sex)

"Sex Drive" (Summit, $26.99) — ★★ — By the time this inconsistent road/sex comedy tries to redeem itself and its characters, it's nearly too late.

Special features: Unrated version (also $26.99) includes footage cut from theatrical release.

R (vulgarity, sex, profanity, violence, slurs, nudity)

"What Just Happened?" (Magnolia, $29.98) — ★★1/2 — This goofy, sporadically amusing satire is a career bounce-back of sorts for filmmaker Barry Levinson. Robert De Niro stars.

R (profanity, violence, vulgarity, drugs, brief gore, brief partial nudity)
