Pick of the week:  Paranormal Activity (8/10):  A terrifically scary independant low-budget horror movie.  Actually scarier in your house than in the theatre. 

  Kids pick of the week:  9 (8/10):  9 isn’t really a kids’ movie.  It is good for kids, but really small ones could get scared.  It’s animated, and one of the most wonderful visual experiences of the year.

  TV pick of the week:  United States of Tara First Season (7/10):  I would have picked Glee, because I think it’s a better show, but United States Of Tara is the complete first season, Glee is only Season One Volume One.

  A Perfect Getaway (7/10):  Surprising thriller about a vacationing couple on their honeymoon in Hawaii.  Be patient – it gets better.

  Live! (4/10):  A sadly un-biting satire about a Russian Roulette themed game show.  Eva Mendes is good, but can’t save this poorly thought out film.
