Few movies quote from Alan Watts, the once-popular interpreter of Eastern religion who wrote "The Way of Zen" and "The Joyous Cosmology." But Werner Herzog's meditative new documentary about Antarctica, "Encounters at the End of the World," finds a delightfully appropriate slot for Watts' embrace of the universe's paradoxes. The movie is part of a wide-ranging lineup tonight at the Egyptian, which is also presenting the world premiere of "Good Food," an exuberant documentary about the impact of farmers markets in the Northwest, and a repeat screening of "Go With Peace Jamil," a Danish drama that examines Muslim extremes within Middle Eastern communities in Europe. As the title suggests, there is an alternative to the cycle of revenge practiced by Shias and Sunnis — emphasized at the end with a peacekeeping quote from the Koran.
