Screen Gems | Coming this week on TV and at the movies

SMALL SCREEN

Sex: The Revolution! (10 p.m. Monday, VH1) -- From the Kinsey Report to Bill Clinton's stupid cigar tricks, this four-part documentary tracks the upheaval in American sexual mores during the second half the 20th century and its impact on culture and politics.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (10 p.m. Monday, Food Network) -- Believe it or not, there's more than $45 seared tuna on South Beach. Host Guy Fieri, who each week seeks out just plain food on this series, pays a visit to the 11th Street Diner, South Beach's most determinedly unglamorous eatery, and likes what he finds.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl (10:30 p.m. Monday, Showtime) -- First we had soccer-mom-as-dope-dealer (Weeds), then math-teacher-as-meth-maker (Breaking Bad). And now it's legal-secretary-as-high-priced-hooker, with British actress Billie Piper as the demure Hannah by day and depraved Belle by night in this new sitcom. If Secret Diary of a Call Girl draws viewers, expect a kindergarten-teacher-turned-dominatrix in time for the fall season.

BIG SCREEN

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian -- The next installment in author C.S. Lewis fantasy series about the magical realm of Narnia is set a year after the events of the first film, which translates into 1,300 years in Narnia-time. Once again, the four Pevensie siblings play a key role in helping the denizens of the land fight off evil forces, etc. You know the drill.

Son of Rambow -- In the 1980s, two British boys direct a homemade homage to their favorite movie of all time -- First Blood -- and become local celebrities in the process.

-- RENE RODRIGUEZ
