Entertainment Weekly: The Must List
Proms, parking lots and eight other things Entertainment Weekly recommends this week:
1. "Project Greenlight" Take a passive-aggressive neophyte director, give him money (and an apoplectic producer) and watch Bravo to see what happens.
2. "Eyes" Tim Daly -- all smiles and swagger -- heads an upscale detective agency in this ABC drama: His smart-ass likability gives the PI genre a playful punch in the arm.
EW review: "Eyes"
3. "Drama City," by George Pelecanos An ex-con tries to stay straight in Pelecanos' latest novel, told in a sparse language that captures the lonely heartbeats of the downtrodden and doomed.
EW review: "Drama City"
4. "Star Wars" merchandise Who needs a dumb old movie when you can play Tiger's cool ''Lightsaber Battle Game'' and eat a ton of ''Star Wars'' M&M's?
5. "Quelqu'un M'a Dit," by Carla Bruni With enough smoky atmosphere to choke a Frenchman, these dozen chansons -- lilting, whispery and knowing -- are simply Seine-sational.
6. "Prom Night," by Elissa Stein Is this book an important socio-anthropological document capturing more than 50 years of this springtime courtship ritual -- or a hilarious (and even moving) catalog of disasters in baby blue and taffeta? You decide.
7. "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" Watch either one of the DVDs and be reminded why the late Fred Rogers was the World's Most Decent Guy.
8. "Parking Lot" The Trio series takes a fresh look at pop-culture fandom by going where the magic all begins: in parking lots and convention-hall lobbies.
9. Mickey Rourke in "Sin City" Exuding a mix of vulnerability and danger, only Rourke -- in a cast of big stars -- can match the visual pyrotechnics of Robert Rodriguez's hyperstylized noir.

10. "Look at Me" Friends and family get together -- and scheme with delightful duplicity -- in this astringent French comedy of (bad) manners.
