Ending with a Buzz: "World's End" a boisterously funny, genre-smashing, bittersweet blast

DVD/Blu-ray: Aprile impresses in affecting, hard-hitting "What Maisie Knew"

Love Drunk: "Spectacular Now" a rare, lovely, honest treasure that actually understands teens

Slaughter-Home Alone: "You're Next" a wickedly entertaining devil that refreshes horror genre
