Please Give (R), Drama, Comedy – A couple and their teenage daughter purchase the apartment next door in order to expand their two bedroom Manhattan apartment. Their only problem is the old cranky lady living in it and that they’ve got to wait for her to die. Simply waiting for her to die becomes complicated when the two families’ lives intersect, resulting in a dramatic comedy about love, death, and liberal guilt. Stars Catherine Keener, Amanda Peet and Oliver Platt.

The Good Heart (R), Drama – The curmudgeonly owner of a gritty New York dive bar that serves as home to a motley assortment of professional drinkers is determinedly drinking and smoking himself to death when he meets a homeless young man who has already given up on life. In the hopes of keeping his legacy alive, he deems the homeless man is a fitting heir and takes him under his wing, schooling him in the male-centric laws of his alcoholic clubhouse: no new customers, no fraternizing with customers and, absolutely no women. Lucas is a quick study, but their friendship is put to the test when a distraught and beautiful woman shows up at the bar seeking shelter. Stars Brian Cox, Paul Dano and Stephanie Szostak.

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (NR), Horror – Two American girls are on a road trip in Germany when they end up alone at night when their car breaks down in the woods.

An older German man identifies himself as a retired surgeon specialized in separating Siamese twins. However, his three “patients” are not about to be separated, but joined together in a horrific operation.
