This week, Mojo was stopped in the office stairwell, at church and on the street, all by people who wanted to enthuse about one thing: "Young @ Heart."

The documentary, which has eight showings a day at the Regal Tara, is fun and infectious. It follows a senior citizens chorus that performs rock songs. Like from the Clash, Coldplay and James Brown.

Starting May 9, "Young @ Heart" will expand to five more theaters: Mansell Crossing, Merchants Walk, Lefont Sandy Springs, the Hollywood 24 and Kennesaw's Town Cinema.

Documentaries generally attract crowds in metro Atlanta, and we've been blessed with several good ones. More are coming soon.

"The Rape of Europa," now at Lefont's Sandy Springs, methodically steps through Nazi efforts to plunder priceless works of art and to destroy specific cultures during World War II.

It's a devastating film that underscores the full extent of the horror inflicted by Adolf Hitler, a wannabe artist, and his minions.

"Europa" was one of 15 semi-finalists for this year's documentary Oscar (the eventual winner was the gripping "Taxi to the Dark Side," which played Atlanta earlier this year).

Coming soon are two equally powerful documentaries: Oscar winner Errol Morris' "Standard Operating Procedures," which digs deep into events at Abu Ghraib, and the funny, invigorating and sometimes shocking "Surfwise," which relates the life stories of the always-surfing Paskowitz family.

"Standard Operating Procedures" is expected here May 30. "Surfwise," which earlier was screened at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, arrives June 6.

FILMING IN METRO ATLANTA: Fresh off of "Tyler Perry's the Family That Preys," actor Rockmond Dunbar is now directing and co-starring in another film being shot in metro Atlanta, "Pastor Brown."

Written by Marietta's Rhonda Freeman-Baraka, "Pastor Brown" is about a preacher's daughter returning home to help care for her sick father and try to make peace with an older sister.

The cast includes Salli Richardson Whitfield ("I Am Legend"), Nicole Ari Parker (TV's "Soul Food"), Keith David, Michael Beach, Michael B. Jordan, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Tasha Smith, Dondre T. Whitfield and Ernie Hudson. Making cameos in the film are recording artists Monica, Angie Stone and India Arie and retired NBA player Charles Oakley.

Filming began in mid-April and is expected to continue through Wednesday.

LISTEN TO SINATRA: Turner Classic Movies' tribute to Frank Sinatra all this month includes a special Web site (www.tcm.com/sinatra) with a lot of fun features, including an embeddable video widget that plays 14 songs from Sinatra's movies.

The first one up when Mojo clicked on the video widget: "I Fall in Love Too Easily" from "Anchors Aweigh." Other songs include "Well Did You Evah?" ("High Society") and "The Last Call for Love" ("Ship Ahoy").

We like how you can shuffle the order of the songs.
