Newsweek

Our top picks for the week

Rent “Interview.” No film sounds more obnoxious than having Sienna Miller play a version of herself opposite Steve Buscemi as a journalist. But this tale of a celebrity profile gone wrong comes off quite right, and the twisted ending would be at home on the cover of Us Weekly.

Read “Red,” edited by Amy Goldwasser ($21.95). In this eclectic essay collection, teenage girls write poignantly and humorously about such things as nearly losing a sibling in the Asian tsunami, the perils of growing up with Jewish hair and the joys of rock climbing.

Buy Martha Stewart’s prepared food. The products in this new series of prepared foods, most of which will launch next year, are drawn from Stewart’s magazine, books and TV shows, and are ready to serve, heat or use. The first, the Favorite Holiday Ham, arrives Dec. 10. Available at Costco.

Travel to various cities on the East Coast using Amtrak’s new weekend fares. Go round trip from Boston to New York for $94 or from Philly to Baltimore for $60 (for more cities and fares see amtrak.com).

Hear “Oh by the Way,” a 16-disc box set of every recording ever made by Pink Floyd. Each is a miniature reproduction of the original vinyl, complete with posters and dust jackets ($197.35; bn.com).
