Entertainment Weekly: The Must List
![]() Barney Clark as Oliver Twist and Harry Eden as the Artful Dodger in "Oliver Twist." (Entertainment Weekly) -- Dickens, Doctorow, and 8 other things we recommend this week: 1. "Oliver Twist" Roman Polanski's gritty vision of the Dickens classic -- with Ben Kingsley as a dazzlingly decrepit Fagin -- will have audiences asking for... more. Review: "Oliver Twist" 2. "Naked" Now in a deluxe two-DVD set: David Thewlis howls at the moon in Mike Leigh's searing 1993 study of a bitter man stumbling through London's dark underbelly. 3. "Battlestar Galactica" We watched the first season of the Sci Fi Channel show on DVD to see if it was as good as we remember. It is. Feature: "Battlestar Galactica" 4. Backstreet Boys' "Just Want You To Know" video The Boys sport mullets and offer an unexpectedly clever take on the cult vid classic "Heavy Metal Parking Lot." 5. "Kitchen Confidential" Read Anthony Bourdain's deliciously candid restaurant-biz memoir, then check out Fox's deliciously dishy new series. Review: "Kitchen Confidential" 6. "The March," E.L. Doctorow Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman and his famous (or infamous) March to the Sea are the subjects of Doctorow's latest fictionalized foray into the psyche of our country's wounded past. Review: "The March" 7. "Welcome to Jamrock," Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley The son of Bob does his late dad proud with this album of pulsing jams, including the stunning title track. 8. "Invasion" The best of this fall's crypto-dramas is ABC's show about things that go bump in the Florida night. 9. "Born into Brothels" Two filmmakers use their love of photography to document -- and inspire -- the poor children of Calcutta prostitutes in this Oscar-winning film, now on DVD. Review: "Born into Brothels" 10. "Roll Bounce" Lil' no longer, Bow Wow plays a skate-dance hero in this funky flashback film that celebrates that cultural pinnacle of the '70s: roller disco!
