The extraordinary queer hip-hop doc Pick Up the Mic premieres on DVD this week, so you can make your own house party. Also out: the haunting Phoebe in Wonderland and a quartet of alternatives to dopey summer blockbusters.
You've been deafened by the buzz for weeks — now you can finally see Watchmen for yourself. But don't rule out the terrific Phoebe in Wonderland, which features a great gay-kid character.
