MONKEYS & MADNESS—One of Werner Herzog’s most beloved films, Aguirre, the Wrath of God follows one conquistador’s steady descent down the Amazon… AND INTO MADNESS! Seeing this 1972 classic on the big screen is a no-brainer. EH
Clinton Street Theater, 2522 SE Clinton, Fri-Mon 7 & 9 pm, $6

MINE—Portland has a lotta bands, but Menomena’s one that we keep extra close to our possessive hearts. Too wise to overplay themselves, a Menomena show doesn’t come along every other week, so between the two Doug Fir shows tonight and tomorrow, you’d better get it while you can. MS
Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, Mon w/EMA & Hosannas, 8:30 pm, Tues w/Talkdemonic, 9 pm, $15-18

Alison Hallett served nobly as the Mercury's arts editor from 2008-2014. Her proud legacy lives on.

  1. I can’t think of a worse movie theater in town than the Clinton. The place is falling apart, the projection is murky, the sound is awful, BOOOO. Aguirre deserves a better screening.

  2. Goddammit, Alison, you gave away the plot!

    Great movie anyway.

    Bring stuffed monkeys to toss around late in the film.
