New last week and this week:

Albert Nobbs
A woman passes as a man in order to work and survive in 19th century Ireland. Some thirty years after donning men's clothing, she finds herself trapped in a prison of her own making.

Certified Copy (French)
A British author on a book tour in Tuscany and a French art-gallery owner get to know each other over the course of an afternoon.

Chronicle
Seen through the lens of a troubled teen's video camera, yet filled with eye-popping action and jaw-dropping special effects, Chronicle is as real as it gets. When three ordinary high school friends make an extraordinary discovery, they acquire amazing abilities beyond their understanding. But as their powers develop, so do their darker sides. Fun, harmless pranks soon lead to much riskier activities as the boys' 'gifts,' and their lives, spin dangerously out of control!

Great Expectations
Nothing is quite as it seems in this lush retelling of Dickens' classic coming-of-age story with colorful characters: conspirators, rogues, rakes, and wretches. Gillian Anderson stars as Miss Havisham.

The Grey
After their plane crashes in Alaska, seven oil workers are led by a skilled huntsman to survival, but a pack of merciless wolves haunts their every step.

One for the Money
Stephanie Plum is a bright, attractive, confident woman whose entire life has just taken a sudden turn, in the totally wrong direction. Newly divorced and recently laid off, the only work she can scrape up is a dead-end job at her sleazy cousin's bail bond office. But when her first big assignment involves tracking down an on-the-lam ex-flame, this tough-as-nails lady bounty hunter will be redefining the meaning of hot pursuit.

The Vow
A young couple have a car accident that leaves the wife in a coma. After she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband sets his sights on winning her heart again.
