DAY WATCH
Collapsing apartment buildings, intra-coven political treachery and vampire terrorism surface in director Timur Bekmambetov’s sardonic sequel to his 2004 hit “Night Watch,” which turned the moonlit streets of Moscow into a battleground for The Others, divided into the forces of Dark and Light, who forge an uneasy truce with the appearance of ominous new leaders on both sides. In Russian with English subtitles. At Village Square. (140 minutes) R; adult content, nudity, violence.
1408
A travel writer (John Cusack), who specializes in debunking paranormal phenomena at supposedly “haunted” inns, checks into New York City’s notorious Dolphin Hotel — and confronts true terror — in this Stephen King adaptation co-starring Samuel L. Jackson and Mary McCormack. At multiple locations. (94 minutes) PG-13; disturbing sequences of violence and terror, frightening images, profanity.
I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU: THE LIFE & LEGACY OF SIMON WIESENTHAL
Winner of the audience award for top documentary at the recent CineVegas film festival, this portrait of the late Nazi hunter, who survived 12 concentration camps (and lost at least 89 family members in the Holocaust), chronicles his quest to bring more than 1,000 war criminals to justice. Nicole Kidman narrates; Richard Trank, who won an Oscar for “The Long Road Home,” directs. At the Suncoast. (105 minutes) NR; mature themes, graphic war images.
PARIS, JE T’AIME
The City of Lights inspires this cinematic love letter from such directors as Joel and Ethan Coen, Wes Craven, Alfonso Cuaron, Alexander Payne, Walter Salles, Tom Tykwer and Gus Van Sant, who explore legendary neighborhoods — from Montmartre to the Latin Quarter — in segments featuring, among others, Juliette Binoche, Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe, Gerard Depardieu, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Bob Hoskins, Nick Nolte, Natalie Portman, Gena Rowlands and Elijah Wood. In English and French with English subtitles. At Village Square. (120 minutes) R; profanity, brief drug use, sexual situations.
