DVDS
  “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” (PG-13): Michael Douglas reprises his Oscar-winning role of Gordon Gekko in Oliver Stone’s sequel to 1987’s “Wall Street,” as just-out-of-prison Gekko tries to reconcile with his estranged daughter (“An Education’s” Carey Mulligan), who’s involved with a young Wall Street whiz (Shia LaBeouf) negotiating shark-infested investment waters.
  Elsewhere in the recent-release realm, Angelina Jolie shows off her action chops in “Salt” (PG-13), about a CIA agent who goes on the run when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. And “Zombieland’s” Emma Stone shows off her comedic chops in “Easy A” (PG-13), as a sarcastic teen uses her high school’s rumor mill to enhance her bad-girl reputation when word gets around that she’s no longer a virgin. Amanda Bynes, “Hellcats’ " Aly Michalka and “Gossip Girl’s” Penn Badgley lead Stone’s teen co-stars; Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci and Lisa Kudrow anchor the adult cast. “Devil” (PG-13) finds Satan himself picking off folks trapped in a high-rise elevator while cops and security guards look on in horror via closed-circuit TV. And an NYU freshman teams up with street dancers to take on top hip-hoppers in “Step Up 3” (PG-13), released theatrically as “Step Up 3D.”

In our foreign-language file, France’s “Let It Rain” (not rated) focuses on a writer (writer-director Agnes Jaoui) whose quiet week in the country turns to chaos — on camera. In Japan’s “Map of the Sounds of Tokyo” (not rated), an assassin (“Babel’s” Rinko Kikuchi) finds herself drawn to her latest target (Sergi Lopez of “Pan’s Labyrinth”).
