DHOOM 2
Unrated, 152 minutes

New cop Ali (Uday Chopra) and veteran Jai (Abhishek Bachchan) are trying to keep a tight leash on the crime in India. But Aryan (Hrithik Roshan), a high-tech international thief on the loose, has other ideas. Once in Mumbai, Aryan finds his match in Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai), a petty yet clever thief. The two partner up and the game of cops versus robbers begins, stretching from the deserts of Namibia to the backwaters of Goa, the mean streets of Mumbai and the ancient forts of Rajasthan, and finally to wild Rio, Brazil.

ABDUCTION: THE MEGUMI YOKOTA STORY
Unrated, 85 minutes

A tale of mystery and intrigue, “Abduction” tells the story of a 13-year-old Japanese girl abducted on her way home from school by North Korean spies in 1977. For 20 years, her parents had no idea what had happened to her or if she was even alive. Then one day the world learned the shocking truth. The film is told through the eyes of the girl’s parents, who have been searching for their daughter for nearly 30 years. The film begins with the day Megumi vanishes and traces the course her personal tragedy takes as it becomes a battle between two nations.

OUR DAILY BREAD
Unrated, 92 minutes

A near-silent documentary about food manufacturing factories. Splicing between unnamed men in space suits spraying peppers to surrealist landscapes where soft yellow chicks shoot out of slides by the hundreds and orchards of apples bob in a titanic swimming pool, we come to learn that eating starts in these curious robotic dreamscapes.

THIS FILTHY WORLD
Unrated, 86 minutes

John Waters leads viewers, film by film, through his most extraordinary career as he pours forth endlessly raucous anecdotes about the freaks, celebrities, and freak celebrities who have crossed his path. But each tall tale is also a dig in the ribs directed at both our hypocritical world and the film industry.

Mr. Waters has long been the poster boy for independent cinema, yet he is now uncomfortable with the vocabulary of “independent film,” teasing out the term’s strange commodification. Other sacred cows find themselves slaughtered too: supposed liberal disdain for celebrity culture, censorship of any kind, and much more.
