2004. France. 85 mins. (Actionistic, Escapist, Fantastical) It is 2010 and crime is so bad in the crowded immigrant suburb of Paris known as District B 13 that the police have walled it off. Only the worst thug, secretly working with the police, can free his sister and stop a neutron bomb. Wow, what else can you throw into a plot to keep the action going?

2004. Germany. 89 mins. (Comedic) Zombie ashes from Haiti--a fatal car crash while high leads to sudden death--but death is only the beginning for this trio of high school dorks who are the class jokes. Dead is not so bad when you realize you have super strength, superior courage, superior stupidity and--you might even get laid.

1999. Japan. Subtitled. 110 mins. (Actionistic, Escapist, Comedic) Kintaro leaves his old mob connections behind and goes straight as a white collar worker (ion Japan, this is called a "salaryman," but the best translation used for video sales is "white collar worker"). When a corrupt corporation enlists crooked politicians and mob goons, Kintaro knows it is time to straighten his tie and put up his fists. One of the wonderful comic parts of his roll as a white color worker is he never fights without his suit and tie uniform.
