'Food, Inc.'

In exposing the unsavory practices of agribusiness, Robert Kenner's muckraking documentary cuts to the bone. Commingling style and substance, it infiltrates the teeming facilities where disease is bred on the assembly line and workers are treated like disposable parts.

'I Love You, Beth Cooper'

After a nerdy valedictorian (the tragically miscast Paul Rust) proclaims his love for a cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere), she rewards him with a drunken joyride. A failure on every level, this turgid teen comedy is like being locked in detention with idiots misquoting "The Breakfast Club."

'North by Northwest, 50th Anniversary Edition'

In arguably Alfred Hitchcock's best — and best-loved — thriller, Cary Grant is the adman who is framed for murder, Eva Marie Saint is the seductive stranger who gives him shelter, and James Mason is the suave spy who hires a crop duster to do his dirty work. Co-starring Mt. Rushmore. This Warner Bros. edition, with three hours of documentary extras, is the perfect excuse to buy a Blu-ray player.

'The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3'

Denzel Washington and John Travolta star in this loose remake of the 1974 thriller about a subway hijacking. If you liked "Inside Man," you should enjoy this tale of crime and mind games. Directed by Tony Scott ("Déjà Vu").

'Dawson's Creek,' the complete series

The 1998 coming-of-age drama about sensitive teens who were also wise and witty beyond their years comes to DVD with all six seasons on 24 discs, plus extras. If you identified with James Van Der Beek as Dawson, Katie Holmes as Joey and Joshua Jackson as Pacey, prepare to feel very old.
