Everybody could use a little 'Anarchy.'

Sons of Anarchy TV’s best “family” has become seriously dysfunctional, resulting in the show’s best season to date. Plus cameos by Tom Arnold and David Hasselhoff. And you aren’t watching because? Tuesdays, 10 p.m., FX.

Super 8 J.J. Abrams’ loving homage to the sci-fi films of his youth is both a touching coming-of-age story and a well-crafted, exciting action movie. On DVD November 22.

Martha Marcy May Marlene One of the year’s very best movies features a star-making performance from Elizabeth Olsen as a dangerously confused young woman who’s just escaped a cult. Now playing.

Help

Nevada’s Big Give Choose from 350+ statewide nonprofits during this noble, 24-hour online charity drive. November 17, nvbiggive.org.
