As we gear up to premiere more than 200 films at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, audiences are ready to be replenished with new indie films for the new year. But there are still some titles harvested from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival making the theatrical rounds, along with a number of films coming to DVD and Blu-Ray this month. In Theaters Friday, January 10The Truth About Emanuel, directed by Francesca GregoriniSaturday, January 19Life Itself, directed by Steve James.

Surely Spike Lee knows that the “remake” is the most hazardous terrain for a director to explore. Beyond the usual critics, there lie an obsessive and carping band of film fans ready to lambaste any rethinking of the original vision—and often before a script has even surfaced. 
On that note, Spike Lee’s Oldboy recently hit theaters, which reimagines Park Chan-wook’s 2005 Sundance Film Festival selection of the same name.

In a respite from the busy indie box office in recent months, we take a look at Sundance-supported films coming to DVD, Blu-Ray, and television this month. Right on time for the gift-giving season, these seven films from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival are available for purchase this December.Tuesday, December 10Adore, directed by Anne FontaineTouchy Feely, directed by Lynn SheltonTuesday, December 17Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, directed by David LoweryNewlyweeds, directed by Shaka KingThe Spectacular Now, directed by James Ponsoldt (iTunes release)Monday, December 30How to Survive a Plague, directed by David France, PBS, 10 p.

Charlie Countryman—formerly the more long-winded The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman—is Fredrik Bond’s rapidly paced first feature film that, for all its stylistic glut, avoids undercutting expert performances from Shia LaBeouf, Evan Rachel Wood, and Mads Mikkelsen.
LaBeouf plays the title character, an American traveler who becomes dangerously lured into a web of Eastern Euro violence while tracking down an enigmatic crush (Evan Rachel Wood), the daughter of a man who died next to him on a flight to Romania. Charlie Countryman opens in theaters Friday, November 15th, but get a taste of the film with these 6 GIFs.
