BIG SCREEN

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (R) -- Denzel Washington (as a New York City subway dispatcher) and John Travolta (as a baddie holding a train's worth of passengers hostage) take over for Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw in this remake of the 1974 classic. Directed by Tony Scott (Domino, True Romance), who unloads all his trademark camera pyrotechnics on what is essentially a feature-length conversation between two men via short-wave radio, peppered by bits of action.

Tyson (R) -- Director James Toback (Black and White) brings his iconoclastic gaze to the life and times of heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson, who recounts his career with unexpected candor.

Imagine That (PG) -- A harried businessman (Eddie Murphy) discovers that the answers to all his problems reside within the imaginary world of his 7-year-old daughter (Yara Shahidi).

-- RENE RODRIGUEZ

Nurse Jackie (10:30 p.m. Monday, Showtime) -- The Sopranos' Edie Falco plays a drug-addicted nurse whose life is coming apart at the seams in this grim, darkly funny new series about life in the emergency room.

Army Wives (10 p.m. Sunday, Lifetime) -- TV's best ripped-from-the-headlines soap returns for a third season with plenty of crises to choose from: When last we left those plucky Army wives, a marriage was unraveling, another teenage daughter was running off with her boyfriend, a business was going broke and a new mom was about to deploy to Iraq.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? (10 p.m. Sunday, BBC America) -- Maybe they should have called it Von Trapp Family Idol: 10 young actresses compete for a role in a stage revival of The Sound of Music. Sorry, no Paula Abdul; but Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the judges. Let's see if he goes face-down in his Coke cup.

Weeds (10 p.m. Sunday, Showtime) -- Narcotrafficking soccer mom Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) is back for a fifth season. Her Mexican dope suppliers have found out she's a DEA informant, her 13-year-old son is peddling weed to his classmates, and she's pregnant. Otherwise, everything's fine in this black, black, black comedy.

I Walked With a Zombie (5:15 p.m. Friday, AMC) -- Jacques Tourneur's tale of a West Indies love triangle gone realllly wrong. Spooky and atmospheric, but even if it weren't, how are you not gonna watch with a title like that?

-- GLENN GARVIN
