ENTERTAINMENT Seven Psychopaths has a scary name but a great cast of Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken in the story of a struggling screenwriter who ends up getting involved with a number of unsavory individuals. It was directed by Martin McDonagh who also directed cult favorite In Bruges. You might have not heard of Hello I Must Be Going but it was the opening film at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and features the wonderful Melanie Lynskey as a recent divorcee who begins an affair with a 19-year old. Fat Kid Rules the World is the adaptation of the young adult novel of the same name that follows a suicidal overweight boy who becomes friends with a punk rocker. It's edgy and definitely not a children's film, in spite of the fat kid in the title. We do have something for the kids though: the animated Hotel Transylvania features Adam Sandler as the voice of Count Dracula, who serves as the host of a resort for monsters and their families.
SERIES Besides the aforementioned Downton Abbey, we've also got everyone's favorite British werewolf, vampire and ghost series Being Human, which is up to series 4. Also, Twenty Twelve is a hilarious mockumentary series about the 2012 British preparations for the Olympic games that any fan of British comedy will not want to miss.
DOCUMENTARY Dean Martin's former partner gets his own documentary in Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis, which originally screened on the Encore channel.
