FILM—When it comes to action auteurs, there’s a godfather looming above all others: John Woo, whose hyper-kinetic Hong Kong action epics still stand as masterpieces. Tonight, the Hollywood’s showing a double feature of Woo’s two best movies, both starring the 100 percent badass Chow Yun-Fat: 1989’s noir-tinged The Killer and 1992’s ludicrously goofy Hard Boiled.

Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, The Killer at 7:30 pm, Hard Boiled at 9:30 pm, $8 for both movies
LOUD MUSIC—Somehow words like “metal” and “hardcore” fail to convey the relentless, gargantuan sound of Sloths. The local band makes sheer sonic cataclysms, played with precision and power. They’re joined tonight at their tour kickoff by fellow noise-prog experimentalists and tourmates U Sco, whose excursions into powervolume are nothing short of volcanic. NED LANNAMANN

Chow Yun-Fat is awesome!
