You might think that after the 17 previous collecitons of Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVDs, we'd be pretty sick of watching a guy and some robots make fun of movies. Not so! We could watch MST3K all day and this 18th set gets us that much closer to our goal. The set includes some movies like Jack Frost and Lost Continent, intros by Frank Conniff and Kevin Muprhy and four exlusive posters.

The Super Hero Squad Show has a pretty great concept: nearly every Marvel hero lives in a place called Super Hero City right near VillainVill which, you guessed it, is full of classic Marvel villains. Though the show is decidedly kid-centric, there's a lot of fun to be had by adults watching, especially this volume which has Doctor Doom and his fiend friends trying to collect all the pieces of the Infinity Sword so he can rule the galaxy! Our money's on the heroes.
We haven't seen Noah Baumbach's Greenberg yet, which stars a neurotic Ben Stiller housesitting for his brother and falling for his personal assistant, played by Greta Gerwig, but we've heard good things. It's not a traditional love story (which sounds good), nor is it your typical Ben Stiller movie (which could be good or bad depending on your perspective), though we've heard both the characters and the film might feel a little aimless at times. Still, it sounds like giving it a shot will be worth the 107 minutes.
