“Corner Office”

PG-13 | 101 minutes
Director: Joachim Back
Stars: Jon Hamm, Danny Pudi, Christopher Heyerdahl

“Corner Office” stars Hamm as misfit Orson, who finds himself trapped in the absurdities of corporate life in his new job. But the emphasis is on “absurd,” as Orson is constantly reminded to “think about the floor” and no one responds to his broad, disarming smile the way his former colleagues did. But everything changes when he discovers… the room. The luxurious “Mad Men”-style office inspires him, but its existence is also somehow a secret that no one wants to acknowledge. Is it psychological warfare waged by his new employer, or is Orson just on drugs?

“Haunted Mansion”

PG-13 | 122 minutes
Director: Justin Simien
Stars: Jamie Lee Curtis, Rosario Dawson, Winona Ryder

In this mysterious adventure, a doctor (Rosario Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (Chase Dillon), looking to start a new life, move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Once entering the mansion, there appears to be no way out as halls twist, doors disappear, and the spirits in the house aim to add another to their list. Led by Madame Leota (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Hatbox Ghost (Jared Leto), the spirits play on the residents’ fears and strike when they least expect it. Those desperate for the homeowners contact a priest (Owen Wilson), who, in turn, enlists the aid of a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert (LaKeith Stanfield), a French Quarter psychic (Tiffany Haddish) and a crotchety historian (Danny DeVito). ♦
