Minute to Win It
TV Reviews: Like "Deal or No Deal," "Minute to Win It" arises from the premise that "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" was too intellectually demanding. But where NBC's earlier gameshow relied mostly on luck, this one puts contestants through cheekily named games that run 60 seconds each, with the prize progressively growing toward a possible seven-figure payout. People have always enjoyed watching fellow citizens win money, and the lone innovation here is that players are encouraged to practice stunts at home. By devoting two hours to the premiere, NBC risks exhausting "Minute's" 15 minutes of fame that much faster.

Putty Hill
Film Reviews: Named for a Baltimore working-class district, "Putty Hill," Matt Porterfield's shoestring-budget sophomore effort (after the little-seen if much-lauded "Hamilton") gathers real people in real places -- houses, skate parks, swimming pools, karaoke sessions -- around a fictional premise. This curious blend of documentary and narrative, held together less by any plot device than by a rigorous aesthetic, proves all the more effective for being in service of casual naturalism. Given the current stasis of indie production, the door to distribution may suddenly open for an artistically focused filmmaker who, like Kelly Reichardt, is no Hollywood wannabe.
