Fighting for what's right
Fireman Jeremy Coleman (Josh Duhamel) is the lone survivor of a liquor store hold up, a message to the Crip-controlled neighborhood from a Nazi gang, in Fire with Fire. Coleman is now an eye-witness that can testify against a notorious murderer (Vincent D'Onofrio) that Detective Cella (Bruce Willis) has been trying to put away for years... but all his witnesses keep dying. When Coleman's witness protection is compromised and his protecting agent (Rosario Dawson) is attacked, he refuses to go back into hiding: he'll go after the Nazis that want him dead and bring them down himself. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Hirokin (Wes Bentley) is a wandering warrior on a desert planet in Hirokin: The Last Samurai, but he's pushed to be a reluctant hero to the subjugated Fremen-ish Arrid people as they struggle against the brutal tyranny of Griffin (Julian Sands), who may or may not resemble Sting as a several-decades-older Feyd from David Lynch's Dune. Trained by the Arrid's Obi-Wan surrogate (Angus Macfadyen) in their lost warrior's art (not unlike the Force and/or the Weirding Way), Hirokin must embrace his destiny and stand up to the dictator, fighting injustice against incredible odds. With Jessica Szohr and Laura Ramsey.
Connected
Jack (Mark Duplass) is a mess, so Iris (Emily Blunt) sends him up to her family's isolated cabin for some alone time in Humpday director Lynn Shelton's Your Sister's Sister. When Jack gets there, he's surprised to find the cabin already occupied by Iris' sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt),

They're coming for you
It's the day of Clara (Leticia Dolera) and Koldo's wedding in Paco Plaza's [•Rec] 3: Genesis,
but their reception takes an unexpected turn when a bite wound on a
guest's hand turns him into a zombie in the middle of the party. Koldo's

When he confronts the the leader of the group, he turns out to be a sociopathic teenager (Jack O'Connell) who has no problem with having his pack torture and kill the tourists.
Philosophy
The documentary Being in the World explores the philosophy of what defines people's humanity in a technological age. Infused with the ideas of several philosophers through history, the film interviews craftsmen, cooks, musicians, and more about their work, passion, and style, and how they ultimately relate to Heidegger's ideas of "being."Kids
12-year-old Koichi and his younger brother Ryunosuke live on opposite sides of the country because of their parents' divorce in Hirokazu Koreeda's I Wish, but their hopes run wild when they find out a new bullet train will link their towns. The brothers' stories are shuffled with classmates, adults, and townsfolk in a larger character story about family, dreams, and unity.The current Santa Claus (Jim Broadbent) is at the end of his 70th Christmas in Arthur Christmas, but he's getting too old for the job. His older son (Hugh Laurie) is ready to take over the job with his high-tech version of Christmas,
but his youngest, the clumsy Arthur (James McAvoy), has been demoted to the mail room. When Arthur finds out that Santa missed a child, he and Grandpa-Claus (Bill Nighy)
dust off the old, reindeer-powered, wooden sleigh and take off to make
sure that every kid gets visited by Santa on Christmas. On DVD and Blu Ray. Other Cultures
Director Sebastian (Gael Garcia Bernal) and producer Costa (Luis Tosar) travel to Bolivia to make a film about Christopher Columbus and the Spanish invasion of the New World in the Spanish-language Even the Rain. Their film is meant to highlight the Spanish atrocities and the effect of their hunt for gold on the native people, but their location is far from Columbus' landing place and they're nonchalant about using Bolivian extras because the filmmakers believe "all Indians look the same." Their project takes a new turn when the realities of Bolivia encroach on their message.Featured at the Seattle International Film Festival, the Swedish Kiss Me is the story of Mia, a tightly-wound businesswoman, attending her father's engagement party. When she meets Frida, her mother-in-law-to-be's daughter, she's struck by an instant attraction that throws her life, and her engagement to her long-term boyfriend, out of balance.
Taking a break from filmmaking to teach classes in a small town, a director arrives in Seoul in Hong Sang-Soo's The Day He Arrives. Wandering aimlessly, he runs into an old friend and navigates the city trying to relocate lost purpose... drinking with film students, meeting someone that reminds him of an old girlfriend, spending long drinking nights with various people, and trying to find his way in a world of film festivals and movie relationships.
