“Inside Out”: (2015, Disney, PG, $30), the latest Pixar stunner, gives new meaning to the term “emotional journey.” Amy Poehler stars as Joy, one of five basic emotions controlling an ebullient 11-year-old named Riley. But once Riley is forced to move across country with her parents, Joy loses control of the youngster to Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling). It takes a trip through Riley’s mind, with Sadness in tow, for Joy to realize that a little melancholy never hurt anyone. “Inside Out” might not be Pixar’s best movie but it is certainly its most wildly imaginative one. You’ve never seen anything quite like this brightly colored gem before. Extras: featurettes.
Also New This WeekSouthpaw: (2015, Anchor Bay, R, $25) Character triumphs over action in Antoine Fuqua’s gut punch of a boxing drama. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Billy Hope, a slugger who, following an unexpected tragedy, slowly loses everything, including his manager (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), his mansion and custody of his daughter (Oona Laurence.) But with help from a grumpy trainer (Forest Whitaker), Billy gets one last shot at redemption. Fuqua (“Training Day”) embraces the corny premise and goes with it, pummeling you with cliches. Still, as predictable as “Southpaw” is, it also manages to be mighty entertaining. Extras: deleted scenes and featurettes.
She’s Funny That Way: (2015, Lionsgate, R, $20) A round of applause for Peter Bogdanovich (“The Last Picture Show”) who pulls off one of the trickiest of all genres: the screwball comedy. Owen Wilson stars as a skirt-chasing theater director who’s torn between his wife (Kathryn Hahn) and a call girl-turned-actress (Imogen Poots.) There’s a handful of other characters (Jennifer Aniston, Rhys Ifans, Will Forte) who figure into the fun but this is Poots’ movie and she’s a charmer. What a kick to see Bogdanovich, in his first feature since 2001’s “The Cat’s Meow,” deliver a laughfest with some of the same high spirits as “What’s Up Doc?,” his 1972 triumph. Extras: featurette and Bogdanovich commentary.
The End Of The Tour: (2015, Lionsgate, $20) Even though director James Ponsoldt (“The Spectacular Now”) attempts to open up this two-hander by setting it on the road, it is essentially one long conversation between Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsy (Jesse Eisenberg) and novelist David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel). Sort of like a Gen X spin on “My Dinner With Andre,” the dramedy finds the pair tackling a wide array of topics, including fame, women and the merits of “Die Hard.” But the love/hate vibe between the men isn’t particularly compelling and Ponsoldt misses a big opportunity by giving the cameo-ing Joan Cusack and Mamie Gummer absolutely nothing to do. Extras: deleted scenes and commentaries.
Paper Towns: (2015, Fox, PG-13, $30) After spending a night pulling pranks with his childhood friend Margo (Cara Delevingne), Quentin (Nat Wolff) falls head over heels in love with her. But the next day, Margo suddenly disappears, leaving behind a series of clues for Quentin to decipher. Based on a novel by Jesse Green (“The Fault In Our Stars”), this teen romance rings surprisingly deep and true. The characters are distinctively drawn and the actors bring them to life with quicksilver charm. Extras: gag reel, deleted scenes and featurettes.
Do I Sound Gay?: (2015, IFC, unrated, $20) In this highly personal doc, writer/director David Thorpe investigates what it means to have a stereotypical “gay voice.” The filmmaker winds up exploring issues of misogyny, identity and internalized homophobia with a handful of interviewees, including humorist David Sedaris, broadcaster Don Lemon, fashionista Tim Gunn and actor George Takei. Expect a film heavy on insights and humor. Extras: none.
Max: (2015, PG, unrated, $30) The mystery at the heart of this family film is a bit overwrought but it’s still refreshing to see military working dogs receive the kind of recognition they deserve. After Belgian Malinois Max loses his handler Kyle (Robbie Amell) in Iraq, he’s sent to Texas where he connects with Kyle’s teenaged brother Justin (Josh Wiggins.) Together, the pair save Justin’s family (Lauren Graham, Thomas Haden Church) from crooked cops and gun-running baddies. Despite being overlong and overstuffed, “Max” does right by its canine hero. Extras: featurettes.
Clutter: (2015, FilmBuff, unrated, $15) A strong performance by Carol Kane is the best reason to check out this look at a hoarder forced to make some changes after her house is condemned by county health inspectors. Another treat: a razor-sharp dinner table sequence which begins with insults and ends with a cockroach crawling out of the potato salad. Extras: none.
The Fabulous Baker Boys: (1989, Twilight Time, R, $30) For his directorial debut, writer/director Steve Kloves conjures up a deeply involving drama about two piano-playing brothers (Jeff Bridges, Beau Bridges) whose musical lounge act is in need of some freshening up. Enter a sexy escort-turned-songbird (Michelle Pfeiffer) who helps the Baker Boys land a better class of gigs. Michelle and Jeff wind up falling in love and their duet on “Makin’ Whoopee” is a steamy delight. From the pair’s slow-burn romance to the brothers’ undying affection for each other, the movie – now on Blu-ray – gets everything right. Extras: Kloves commentary and deleted scenes.
Hollow Triumph: (1948, Film Chest, unrated, $15) Fate proves impossible to dodge for a thief (Paul Henreid) who thinks he’s found a solution to a life on the run. Wanted by a vengeful mobster whose casino he knocked over, Johnny Mueller decides to murder a psychiatrist he resembles and assume his identity. But there are twists and turns galore in this new-to-Blu-ray noir. Chief among the assets is Joan Bennett as Mueller’s main squeeze, a secretary who makes a hard-boiled speech on life’s disappointments snap, crackle and pop. Extras: none.
Diary Of A Lost Girl: (1929, Kino, unrated, $30) After “Pandora’s Box,” director G.W. Pabst and actress Louise Brooks teamed up for one of the most stunning melodramas of the silent era. Beautifully restored to its original running time, the Berlin-shot film follows a naive pharmacist’s daughter as she is seduced and abandoned by her father’s assistant. Placed in a horrific home for wayward girls, she escapes only to wind up in a brothel. Way ahead of its time, “Diary” tackles provocative themes of sexuality and exploitation while providing Brooks with a role that helped defined her career. Extras: commentaries and a Brooks short from 1931.
The Games: (1969, Fox Cinema Archives, G, $20) Set in the days leading up to the Rome Olympics, this sports drama follows the four leading contenders in the marathon race. There’s an American (Ryan O’Neal) with a heart condition, an Aborigine (Athol Compton) fighting against prejudice, a Brit (Michael Crawford) with an insanely demanding coach (Stanley Baker), and a Czech iron man (Charles Aznavour) who, at 41, is past his prime. As befits a movie about track and field, the pace is brisk and the storytelling unpretentious. Screenwriter Erich Segal (“Love Story”) and director Michael Winner (“Death Wish”) save the best for last with a race that’s full of surprises. Extras: none.
Star Trek – The Complete Series: (1966-1969, Paramount, unrated, $80) The groundbreaking sci-fi series has been released in many configurations throughout the years but never have all 79 episodes been available at such an affordable price. This 25-disc set delivers the complete story of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew (William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols) as they encounter Klingons, Romulans, time paradoxes, genetic superman and tribbles. Extras: featurettes.
Getting On – The Complete Second Season: (2015, HBO, unrated, $40) Get ready for the HBO comedy’s third – and final – season by checking out the second batch of episodes set at an extended care unit of a California hospital. In addition to tending to mostly elderly patients (June Squibb), the staff members (Laurie Metcalf, Nicely Nash) have to navigate a health-care bureaucracy in dire need of an overhaul. If you’re in “Nurse Jackie” withdrawl, this smart series should help ease some of the symptoms. Extras: deleted scenes and gag reel.
Wayward Pines: (2015, Fox, unrated, $30) From exec producer M. Night Shyamalan comes a series which plays like a gripping blend of “Twin Peaks,” “The Prisoner” and “Twilight Zone.” Matt Dillon stars as a secret service agent who wakes up in an Idaho town overrun by crazies like Nurse Pam (Melissa Leo) and Sheriff Pope (Terrence Howard). Even though the last five episodes aren’t as good as the first five, “Wayward” is chock full of eerie images and unsettling themes. You’ll be creeped out big time. Extras: featurettes.
