The final singers appear in their last night of competition, before a winner is selected in tomorrow’s season finale. Only coaches Blake Shelton and Usher have representatives in this last round: Shelton has two country acts, the Swon Brothers and young Danielle Bradbery, and Usher has Michelle Chamuel. If you have trouble telling them apart – and you shouldn’t – remember that Danielle is perky, Michelle is quirky, and the Swon siblings are kind of jerky.

There have been two games this far in this year’s Stanley Cup finals, and both of them have gone into overtime. In Game 1, the Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins played the full game in regulation, and several overtimes, before the Blackhawks prevailed with a victory. In Game 2, there was more extended ice time – but this time, in overtime, the Bruins won. And tonight, for at least as long as it takes in regulation, the Bruins and Blackhawks face off for Game 3.

This 1992 movie is your standard romantic melodrama, but with music – and it’s the music that makes it. Kevin Costner stars in the title role, as a gruff guy guarding a flashy musical diva, but it’s the diva who demands attention. She’s played by Whitney Houston, and, in this role, Houston is very impressive, captured at the top of her form, and her game.

Stewart Granger and Eleanor Parker star in this 1952 swashbuckler. More than 60 years later, it’s most valuable for its vivid color schemes, its outrageous costumes, and to watch Parker, who wears more different looks than any movie about 18th-century France should logically support. Also featured: Janet Leigh, eight years before Psycho.

Liz Garbus, whose documentaries include the delightful Bobby Fischer Against the World, wrote and directed this intimate examination of Marilyn Monroe – focusing on her mind, not her body. Using her letters and diaries as primary sources, this film retraces Monroe’s career and romances, and solicits comments from celebrities along the way, some of whom read from those writings. The list of participants includes Glenn Close, Ellen Burstyn, Uma Thurman, Evan Rachel Wood, and, yes, Lindsay Lohan.
