Away We Go (pictured above)
An expecting couple (John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph) embark on an existential-crisis-fueled road trip replete with the nutty characters and twee music you'd expect from Dave Eggers' first script. If Garden State perfectly encapsulated your twentysomething anxieties, this has your thirties covered.

The Hurt Locker
The gritty tale of a U.S. Army bomb squad in Iraq, this film conveys⿿without restoring to preachiness⿿the emotional distress caused by defusing IEDs. As you white-knuckle the armrests, try to appreciate the nuanced performances by Jeremy Renner (28 Weeks Later) and Anthony Mackie (Notorious).

Humpday
Motivated by midlife crises and juvenile one-upsmanship, a pair of old college buddies make a pact to star in an amateur porno together, their heterosexuality be damned.
