Revel in your youth without going back in time and talk about: “The Eternal” by Sonic Youth.

In need of a Father’s Day gift? Talk about: “Gran Torino.”

Need a summer fix of a modeling competition? Talk about: “She’s Got the Look.”

“America’s Next Top Model” may have ended its millionth, er, 12th cycle, but that doesn’t mean beauty takes a hiatus. Watch would-be models over the age of 35 (yes, they exist)as they compete for a chance at a supermodel career with the return of this TV Land series. It’s a must-see if you like clothes, make-up and cat fights -- or should we say “cougar fights”? (Thursday)

If you want to see a movie that’s set in space, but you’re tired of pointy-eared Vulcans, talk about: “Moon.”

The thoughtful homage to classic sci-fi stars Sam Rockwell as astronaut Sam Bell, who experiences strange, inexplicable encounters while stranded on the moon over a three-year period. The Duncan Jones film divided critics at Sundance, but if you’re bored by the bells and whistles playing at a multiplex near you, consider it a refreshing alternative. (Friday)
