Sports flick spoof The Comebacks leads this week's pack of DVD releases, followed by the urban crime drama Feel the Noise and Cuba Gooding Jr.'s family comedy Daddy Day Camp.
Our DVD pick for this week is one of our favorite flicks of 2007, the superb documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, about a pair of video game geeks dueling for the coveted world record high score in Donkey Kong. Be sure to check out our review of The King of Kong as well as our interview with the filmmakers.

This summer's last major sequel, Rush Hour 3, arrives in theaters this week, signaling that the much-hyped "Summer of Sequels" is finally beginning to wind down. Taking on the formidable duo of Chan and Tucker is the fantasy epic Stardust, based on Neil Gaiman's acclaimed graphic novel.
A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:
Rush Hour 3 
"Pure summer popcorn entertainment--giant explosions, crazy stunts, and big laughs. Ratner et al. know that and make no pretensions to be anything else." [Full Review]
Stardust
"A diversionary treat — a lively little pop fairytale that flits back and forth from one colorful character to another." [Full Review]
Daddy Day Camp 
"Scatological humor abounds throughout this follow-up as Fred Savage stumbles his way through his directorial debut, desperate to eke out a laugh of any kind. Alas, there are no laughs to be found." [Full Review]
Rocket Science
"Blitz is clearly a director who trusts his audience's intellect, and as a result I found Rocket Science to be a good, endearing movie." [Full Review]
Also opening this weekend: Skinwalkers, Descent, 2 Days in Paris.
