3. Comic-Con: Episode IV- A Fan's Hope
Morgan Spurlock turns his infectious, enthusiastic eye towards the pop culture mecca of the world, the annual San Diego Comic-Con! Joined by a number of icons from the worlds of film, comics, and television, Spurlock's film is joy for both geeks and casual observers alike.

2. Think Like A Man
Once you get past the idiotic reverence for Steve Harvey's crappy book, Think Like A Man works because of the remarkable chemistry of its amazing cast, and one epic comedic performance by Kevin Hart that will make him an unquestioned future star. Think Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids, and that's how memorable he was.
1. The Cabin in the Woods
Forget Scream. Brutally funny and scathing in its satire, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard have cleverly skewered the horror genre and left it for dead. If you've managed to go this long without the big secret being spoiled, don't risk it and run to your local theater to discover it for yourself!

DVD Pick of the Week:  Shame
Emotionally cold yet with a fiery and undeniable charisma, Michael Fassbender gives the performance of his young career in this brilliant, sexually charged thriller. Joined by his Hunger director, Steve McQueen, and featuring an equally powerful turn by Carey Mulligan, Fassbender plays a sexual addict trying to keep his sanity after the arrival of his sister sends his isolated life into a tailspin.
