(Entertainment Weekly) -- Bacon, more Bacon, and 8 other things we recommend this week:

1. "Nine Lives" Amy Brenneman and Kathy Baker give three of many fine performances in Rodrigo Garca's searing film anthology of females in crisis.

Review: "Nine Lives"

2. "The West Wing" After a brilliant revamp focusing on the intense Alan Alda-Jimmy Smits presidential race, it has become the year's sharpest new (old) series.

3. "One Kiss Can Lead to Another" Tucked into a nifty '60s-era hatbox is a set of 120 standout tracks from the likes of the Supremes and the Ronettes. Girl-group heaven!

4. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) The online movie resource celebrates 15 years as the best Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon cheat.

5. Common's "Testify" video The rapper weaves a courtroom drama in a star-studded clip featuring "Hustle & Flow"'s Taraji P. Henson.

6. "Where the Truth Lies" The sparkling mystery -- by Rupert Holmes, the writer of "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" -- about a washed-up comedy duo is now a film starring Kevin Bacon (see No. 4) and Colin Firth.

Review: "Where the Truth Lies"

7. "Holy Skirts," Ren Steinke The superb fictionalized biography of bohemian bon vivant Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven was just short-listed for a National Book Award.

Review: "Holy Skirts"

8. The Magic Numbers Perfect harmonies pepper this band's sunny self-titled debut album. Bonus: Lead singer's name is Romeo.

Review: The Magic Numbers

9. "Veronica Mars" Check out the first season on DVD to see why "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon is hooked on UPN's teen-sleuth show.

10. "The Squid and the Whale" When a couple (Laura Linney and Jeff Daniels) splits, their two sons grow up fast and furious in this smart coming-of-age tale.

Review: "The Squid and the Whale"
