New this week (3/28/12):

Broken Tower
Hart Crane was one of the most important voices in American poetry, but lived a life with as much turmoil as passion. From his early life to his journeys from New York, Cuba and Paris, Crane's story and that of the loves that defined him is told with imaginative empathy, and with a no holds barred performance (by James Franco), in a film as introspective, rebellious, heartbreaking, and honest as Crane himself.

Dangerous Method
The relationship between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung and his mentor Sigmund Freud is torn apart when Sabina Spielrein, a troubled but beautiful young woman, comes between them and forever changes the face of modern thought. Directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender and Keira Knightly.

J. Edgar
J. Edgar Hoover was head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years. Hoover was feared, admired, reviled and revered, a man who could distort the truth as easily as he upheld it. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted prize. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life. “…masterful.”—Roger Ebert. Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Naomi Watts.

The Killing
Following a shocking murder, the lives of the police, suspects and victim's family are intricately woven together in this 'spellbinding' (TV Guide) story. This engrossing series has earned huge acclaim, as well as a Golden Globe nomination and multiple Emmy nominations in its first season.

Single-Handed, Set 2
Transferred from Dublin to his hometown on Ireland's windswept coast, Sergeant Jack faces challenges he never expected: winning the villagers' respect, escaping the shadow of his father and predecessor, solving baffling crimes, and exposing dirty secrets.

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas 
Following years of growing apart, Harold Lee and Kumar Patel have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrive at Kumar's door on Christmas Eve, his attempts to redirect it to Harold's house ends with the 'high grade' contents, and Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree, going up in smoke.
