Andre Braugher stars in "Thief."

YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS

(Entertainment Weekly) -- A new "Life," an old poem, and eight other things we recommend this week:

1. "Thief" We hail the return of acting powerhouse Andre Braugher, in peak form as a loving stepdad and remorseless criminal in a jolting new series on FX.

2. "Howl: Fifty Years Later" In a collection of essays, Rick Moody and other literary lights pay tribute to Allen Ginsberg's incendiary Beat manifesto.

3. "The Devil's Miner" A heartbreaking and unforgettable documentary that captures the unimaginably hard lives of two young brothers who labor in a Bolivian silver mine.

4. "The BC" This is how it's done in Beantown -- courtesy of Boston College students' dead-on webspoof of ''The O.C.'' (www.bc.edu/clubs/thebc/)

5. March Madness Live streams on cbs.sportsline.com gave the ML a reason to come to work. (We kid, we kid!)

6. "Rip It Up and Start Again" Devo, Joy Division, and other oft-neglected postpunk trailblazers get a fresh look in this passionate, insightful history of early-'80s rock on the cusp of MTV.

7. "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" Newly remastered, David Byrne and Brian Eno's landmark 1981 world-music mix mesmerizes as a spooky tour de force.

8. TV-On-Demand Karaoke Even if your pipes evoke William Hung, test your vocal chops (and the patience of loved ones/neighbors) with your take on ''My Way.''

9. "The Long Good Friday" Bob Hoskins broke out as a beleaguered cockney Mob boss in this taut crime drama, now on DVD.

10. "Inside Man" Spike Lee's got game again (and a sterling cast of seasoned vets, including Denzel Washington) in this knotty, nuanced NYC hostage thriller.
