FILM—Thanks to an overwhelming number of films, it’s easy to strike out at the Portland International Film Festival. To even your odds, pick the fest’s more interesting titles, like the two tonight: What We Do in the Shadows is a Kiwi vampire comedy from the guys behind Flight of the Conchords, while the Japanese R100 follows a man who signs up with an S&M service—one that S&Ms him at random times. ERIK HENRIKSEN
What We Do in the Shadows at Cinema 21, 616 NW 21st, 8:45 pm, $12; R100 at the Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 10:30 pm, $12
COMEDY—It would not surprise me in the least to learn that comedian Kyle Kinane was a tough-talking sea captain in a past life. Marvel at his smart and salty tales of drunken shenanigans, falling down repeatedly, and making more than one bad life decision. He’s an utterly hysterical bearded weirdo who’ll make you snort beer out your nose. COURTNEY FERGUSON
