Keep your eyes open for these independent films

As always, many independently produced films will sneak onto a limited number of screens, often without much notice. Keep an eye open for:
Elijah Wood on a different quest from The Lord of the Rings, searching for the woman who saved his grandfather from Nazis in Everything Is Illuminated; elementary school students learning to dance in Mad Hot Ballroom; a documentary of "krumping," a new dance form, in Rize; Natasha Richardson in the psychological drama Asylum; Ashlee Simpson trying to make it big in the Los Angeles music scene in Undiscovered; and Johnny Depp as an amorous 17th century poet in The Libertine.
There's also the British gangster flick Layer Cake; the musical Romance & Cigarettes, directed by John Turturro; Don Roos' ensemble romantic comedy Happy Endings; the Russian thriller Night Watch; Ralph Fiennes investigating the murders of his wife and her lover in The Constant Gardener; and, finally, Exorcist: Dominion, Paul Schrader's unceremoniously dumped prequel, being revived since the replacement version flopped last year.
