New TV Series and good oddball movie

Homeland is a new tv series on Showtime that is riveting , like Damages at its best. It involves terror cells, the CIA, surveillance and a returning US serviceman from Afghanistan, who was missing for 7+ years and presumed dead. This is all current and frightening. Claire Danes, better than ever, has the lead role and is supported by an exceptional cast in this edgy and very well written show. Then there is the movie, Take Shelter, with Michael Shannon getting crazy and crazier as he is convinced a devastating storm or something worse is coming very soon, so he builds an underground shelter. His wife, played by Jessica Chastain, is supportive as she can be and well grounded, but that's not enough. An intense movie that is clearly not for everyone.
