  “The Last Station” (R): In this handsome period drama, an aging Leo Tolstoy (Oscar nominee Christopher Plummer) finds himself torn between his idealistic principles and his imperious wife (Oscar nominee Helen Mirren), who’s determined to keep her husband’s literary profits all in the family. Paul Giamatti (as Tolstoy’s devoted yet devious friend) and James McAvoy (as a naive witness to the intrigue) deliver deft support.
  Matt Damon, meanwhile, reunites with “Bourne” director Paul Greengrass for “Green Zone” (R), a topical thriller about a U.S. Army officer who goes rogue in wartime Iraq. And if you can’t wait for the latest “Twilight Saga” chapter, “Eclipse,” to hit theaters next week so you can get a Robert Pattinson fix, there’s always “Remember Me” (PG-13), a tragic romance set in the summer of 2001, about a rebellious NYU student (Pattinson) who meets his match in a fellow student (Emilie de Raven). Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper co-star. Two romantic comedies round out today’s recent releases: “She’s Out of My League” (R), about a hottie (Alice Eve) in an on-the-rebound relationship with a definite nottie (Jay Baruchel); and “Amanda” (not rated), about a 40-year-old bachelor (Randy Ryan) who thinks love has passed him by, until he meets the title character (Ariana Dubynin).
  Turning to movies that never played local theaters, the filmed-in-Vegas comedy “Hard Four” (not rated) stars Edward Asner as a legendary gambler who suffers a fatal heart attack at the craps table — and second-generation actors Ross Benjamin (son of Richard) and Sam Gould (son of Elliott) as the pals who must escort his body home to New Jersey; Bryan Cranston, Ed Begley Jr. and Dabney Coleman co-star. “The Good Guy” (R) finds an ambitious New Yorker (“Gilmore Girls’ ” Alexis Bledel) torn between a Wall Street hotshot (Scott Porter) and his shy co-worker (Bryan Greenberg). On the foreign front, acclaimed Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami’s “Close-Up” (not rated) blends fiction and documentary. And speaking of documentaries, the Sundance award-winner “Fuel” (not rated) explores the impact of our petroleum dependence on our economy, environment and foreign policy — along with possible solutions.
  For movie buffs, Judy Garland’s legendary 1954 musical “A Star Is Born” (not rated) arrives on Blu-ray Disc, along with Italian master Michelangelo Antonioni’s first color film, “Red Desert” (not rated), a provocative 1964 study of industrial-age alienation featuring Richard Harris and Monica Vitti; Roger Corman’s 1975 cult classic “Death Race 2000” (R), with David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone as drivers in the killer Transcontinental Death Race; and the Blu-Ray 3-D version of the computer-animated “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” (PG) — which will play in 3-D only if you have both a 3-D-capable TV with active-shutter glasses and a 3-D-capable Blu-ray player. And the super-cool 1962 French New Wave noir “Fire and Ice” (not rated) stars “Z’s” Jean-Louis Trintignant as a right-wing terrorist hiding out with his wife (Romy Schneider) at the home of a gentle friend (“Jules and Jim’s” Henri Serre).
  Tuning in to TV transfers (all unrated), Ice Cube narrates “ESPN Films 30 for 30: Straight Outta LA,” about how the Oakland Raiders’ move to Los Angeles made the NFL rebels heroes to a generation of gangbangers — and gangsta rappers. Alan Cumming, Tahmoh Penikett and Laura Vandervoort headline “Riverworld,” based on Philip Jose Farmer’s science fiction epic. Also arriving: “Hung: The Complete First Season,” “Entourage: The Complete Sixth Season” and “Checkmate: The Complete Series.”
