FILM—The Hollywood Theatre’s latest series invites Portland’s best film critics to take over the theater and show
under-seen classics. First up to the plate: Our own Erik Henriksen, who chose wisely, selecting Guillermo del Toro’s immensely creepy debut film, Cronos, about a greedy old man, a magic bug, and lots and lots of death. BOBBY ROBERTS
Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 7:30 pm, $8
TALK SHOW—Hosts/comedians Alex Falcone and Bri Pruett have cooked up an especially artsy outing of their excellent live talk show, Late Night Action. They’re doing it in the artsy confines of the Portland Art Museum with artsy guests such as artist Wendy Red Star, photog Holly Andres, essayist Courtenay Hameister, and comedy galore! Prepare to be culturally edified and wickedly entertained! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
