Bonus Pick:
NASCAR Racing
The Banking 500 at Concord, NH.
ABC, 7:30 p.m.

6. College Football
South Carolina at Alabama.
ESPN, 7:45 p.m.

7. Slumdog Millionaire
Director Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning film about a poor Indian teen who wins the big bucks in a nationally televised game show but almost loses it all when government officials question his uncanny ability to answer the show's questions. Fun movie with multiple strong performances from the unknown cast.
HBO, 8 p.m.

Bonus Pick:
The House Bunny
Anna Faris stars as an ex-Playboy bunny who tries to teach a bunch of sorority sisters about makeup and men. Predictable plot is lifted by the charm and surprisingly good comedic timing of Ms. Faris.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Anna Faris.
Starz Comedy, 8 p.m.

8. Juno
Ellen Page plays a wise cracking teenager who gets preggers and  becomes a surrogate Mom to a quirky suburban couple (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman). The predictable plot is lifted by a career-making performance from Page who just may be the most exciting young actress to come along in years. Garner is also good as the yearning Mom-to-be.
See our 'HD Hottie' profile of Jennifer Garner.
HBO Signature, 9 p.m.

Bonus Pick:
UFL Football
New York at California.
HDNet, 9 p.m.

9. Rambo
Sylvester Stallone goes for it -- the money, that is -- in this fourth installment of the saga of a Vietnam War hero who turns mercenary after some dirty dealing from the Army brass. The 60-plus Stallone gives it his best here, killing more people than Cecil B. DeMille, as he tries to rescue some missionaries. If you loved the first three Rambo films, you'll fall for the fourth, too.
Showtime Showcase, 11:15 p.m.

10. Saturday Night Live (new)
Gerard Butler hosts (and hawks his new movie, Law Abiding Citizen) while Shakira will deliver a musical interlude or two.
NBC, 11:35 p.m.
