"An award-winning, all-star cast, led by Judi Dench (My Week with Marilyn), Bill Nighy (Love Actually), Tom Wilkinson (Shakespeare in Love), Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), and Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey) light up this buoyant comedy laced with genuine emotion. When seven cash-strapped seniors decide to 'outsource' their retirement to a resort in far-off India, friendship and romance blossom in the most unexpected ways."
Lola Versus -
"When 29-year-old Lola (Greta Gerwig, Greenberg) is dumped by her fiancé Luke (Joel Kinnaman, The Killing) just three weeks before the wedding, she embarks on an emotional, year-long adventure of self-discovery filled with love, loss, hilarity, and heartache. Guided (and often misguided) by the well-meaning advice of her close friends and eccentric parents, Lola's chaotic journey en route to the big 3-0 proves that a single tumultuous year can yield the lessons of a lifetime."
The Raven -
"Baltimore, 1849. While investigating a horrific double murder, police detective Emmett Fields (Luke Evans, Clash of the Titans) makes a startling discovery: the killer's methods mirror the twisted writings of Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack, High Fidelity). Suspecting Poe at first, Fields ultimately enlists his help to stop future attacks. But in this deadly game of cat and mouse, the stakes are raised with each gruesome slaying as the pair races to catch a madman before he brings every one of Poe's shocking stories to chilling life....and death."
Sound of My Voice -
"A filmmaker (Christopher Denham, Shutter Island) and his girlfriend (Nicole Vicius, [500] Days of Summer) set out to expose the beautiful leader of a cult (Brit Marling, Another Earth), who claims to be from the future. But the more they explore, the more danger they face."
October Baby -
"As the curtain rises, Hannah (newcomer Rachel Hendrix) hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah - unscripted - collapses in front of the stunned audience. After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah's difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted after a failed abortion attempt. Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah...embark[s] on a journey to discover her hidden past and find hope for her unknown future."
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Complete Season Seven -
"The Gang prepare[s] for the apocalypse, hit[s] the beach at the Jersey Shore, produce[s] a child beauty pageant, and take[s] a walk down memory lane at their high school reunion. As they say, some things never change. So prepare for more depraved schemes, half-baked arguments and absurdly underhanded plots to subvert one another."
The League: The Complete Season Three -
"To be a fan of The League, you don't need to know much about fantasy football, or sports at all. You just need to have friends that you hate. The ensemble comedy follows a group of old friends in a fantasy football league who care deeply about one another - so deeply that they use every opportunity to make each other's lives miserable."

BEMH looks really interesting. Maybe like this year's Midnight in Paris. Saw The Raven in theatres and wasn't blown away. Lola Versus is something I need to look into.
'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' was charming, but I couldn't stand Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), who was really miscast in this otherwise enjoyable film.
