First off, Ridley Scott's futuristic Prometheus (pictured) follows the crew of the titular vessel, which includes Charlize Theron and Noomi Rapace, as they search for life on another planet. Read the review to find out why this sci-fi flick earned an Exclaim! Mark of Excellence this week.
Meanwhile, David Cronenberg's latest offering, Cosmopolis, stars Robert Pattinson as a detached Wall Street trader. Adapted from Don DeLillo's 2003 novel, and also featuring the likes of Paul Giamatti and Jay Baruchel, the film takes a look at concepts of wealth in the modern age.

And finally, two teens set out to get the entire population of their school baked in John Stalberg, Jr.'s stoner comedy High School, which boasts an appearance from Adrien Brody as an aged burnout and comic performances from the boys' incapacitated teachers.
