Resist the temptation to pick up the usual crap (yes, I mean The Scorpion King) and take a risk with the potently creepy, criminally underrated Frailty.

Bill Paxton stars as a Texas widower on a mission from God who recruits his two young sons (Matthew O'Leary and Jeremy Sumpter) to kill demons. So what if the demons look like the people next door. Paxton also scores impressively as a director — the cast includes Matthew McConaughey as one of his older sons — and uses the disc's plentiful extras (deleted scenes, "making of" documentary) to shed light on the film's roots in old-time religion. Young Sumpter's review of the movie boasts a kid's honesty: "I didn't get none of it." If you're older than eight, Frailty will haunt you hard.

“The A Team”

This debut track from the then-20-year-old British singer-songwriter has a dark story behind it. Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
