BIG SCREEN

(PG-13) -- Sandra Bullock sets aside the ditzy romantic-comedy act for this drama based on Michael Lewis' nonfiction bestseller The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, about a homeless African-American teenager (Quinton Aaron) who is taken in by a wealthy white couple (Bullock and Tim McGraw) as part of a college-football recruitment program.

Planet 51 (PG) -- Like District 9, only in reverse. And animated. And for kids. The little green people of a faraway planet fear they're about to be invaded when an astronaut from Earth (voiced by Dwayne ``The Rock'' Johnson) makes landfall.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (PG-13) -- The clunky title lets everyone know this is the follow-up to last year's teen vampire romance Twilight, because New Moon is, you know, such an obscure title. After the bloodsucker Edward (Robert Pattinson) and his personable family split town, the heartbroken Bella (Kristen Stewart) finds comfort in the arms of a young werewolf (Taylor Lautner) with hair like Fabio's. Much monster mashing ensues.

WWII in HD (9 p.m. Sunday, History Channel) -- Using diaries, letters and recently unearthed film that's been converted to high-definition, this series -- 10 hours over five nights -- follows a dozen Americans (including a Tuskegee airman, an Army nurse and a Japanese-American soldier whose parents were locked up in an internment camp) through World War II.

Search for the Amazon Headshrinkers (9 p.m. Sunday, National Geographic Channel) -- Last week, PBS had a documentary on headshrinkers in Asia! If this trend continues, watch the Disney Channel next week for a documentary on headshrinkers in the Magic Kingdom. Donald? Donald!!
