Ty's movie picks for Friday April 4

For the kids: "Nim's Island."

If you want a good, healing art-house cry: "Under the Same Moon"

If you want a shake-your-bootiethang classic rock experience, courtesy of Mr. Martin Scorsese: "Shine a Light" (And if you really want your dentures rattling, see it on an IMAX screen).

If you have to see every movie George Clooney or Renee Zellweger make, no matter how tame: "Leatherheads"

If you want to waste time in seriously demented ways with a roomful of strangers: The "R. Kelly 'Trapped in the Closet' Sing-along" at the Coolidge tonight at midnight.

If you're so charged up by that that you just have to keep going: The Brattle's unmissable "Schlock Around the Clock" program on Saturday. ("Poor White Trash" alert!)

If you're serious about European cinema: Two films by German director Robert Thalheim -- and Thalheim himself -- at the Harvard Film Archive. Also, the last few days of the Turkish Film Festival at the MFA.
