"The lazy end of August isn&amp;#39;t exactly known for being chock-full of major entertainment options, but it just so happens that this weekend brings the perfect blend of high/low, brainy/fluffy, and Jake Johnson/Damon Wayans Jr. pop culture. As Amy Bloom would say (see below), lucky us.\nWHAT TO SEE IN THEATERS\nPinterestFacebookThe Giver Well, here we are: The Hollywood adaptation of our beloved middle-school novel finally opens today. Trust Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges to balance your misgivings about potential YA-movie schtick.\nPinterestFacebookLet&amp;#39;s Be Cops There&amp;#39;s no greater summer treat than a third of the New Girl crowd taking over the multiplex for a weekend.\nWHAT TO STREAM\nPinterestFacebookThe Big Sleep (on iTunes) There&amp;#39;s no better way to memorialize the inimitable Lauren Bacall than with the ultimate Bogey and Bacall film&amp;#8212;a sultry mystery set in noirish 1940s L.A.\nPinterestFacebookMission Blue (on Netflix) The nine-year-old marine biologist in you will hook right into this documentary about Sylvia Earle, who&amp;#39;s leading the charge to save the planet&amp;#39;s oceans.\nWHAT TO READ\nPinterestFacebookLucky Us by Amy Bloom To be fair, I haven&amp;#39;t read this one yet. But I await its Amazon-Prime arrival with bated breath, because if there&amp;#39;s two things I know, they are that 1) Amy Bloom is never a bad decision, and 2) two country sisters trying to make it in midcentury Hollywood is pretty much irresistible as a concept. (This plus The Big Sleep could turn me into a serious wannabe femme fatale, so apologies in advance if I start carrying a cigarette holder.)\nWHAT TO PUT ON YOUR PLAYLIST__\n&amp;quot;Really Don&amp;#39;t Care&amp;quot; by Demi Lovato At this point, I&amp;#39;m not sure which Lovato is better at coming up with: endless innovative hairstyles or catchy hooks.\nWHAT TO WATCH ON TV\nPinterestFacebook__The Real Housewives of Melbourne On Sunday afternoons, Bravo has been sneakily airing one of their foreign RH franchises&amp;#8212;and it&amp;#39;s the perfect mix of foreign quirks and familiar hilarity.
