recommended The Jerk
Remember when Steve Martin was funny? Yeah, I know, it's been a long time—before most of us were alive, I'm thinkin'. But when he was on, the guy was unstoppable. In 1979's The Jerk, he plays Navin R. Johnson, a huge moron that was "born a poor black child." Only he's white—incredibly so. It's dead-on hilarious slapstick, social commentary, and—most of all—shows Martin's comic skills chopping like a damn Ginzu knife. Just lava-hot funny. Insert cliché about the mighty falling here. ADAM GNADE Academy Theater.

recommended Kung Fu Theater
A 35mm print of the 1981 kung fu classic Shaolin vs. Wu Tang, in which (you guessed it) students of the Shaolin style face off with students of the Wu-Tang style. Wu-Tang is for the children. Hollywood Theatre.

recommended La Camioneta: The Journey of One American School Bus
Every year, school districts in the United States dump—essentially for nothing—perfectly good yellow school buses. But the lucky ones go on to live glorious, tropical, and occasionally sordid second acts, shined up and pressed into service as public transportation in Central America. Mark Kendall follows a single bus from its sale in Pennsylvania to earnest Guatemalan entrepreneurs; by the time we see it lovingly and artfully resurrected in bright colors as a camioneta, we've also been introduced to the dangerous world of corruption, extortion, and murder that goes hand in hand with the transformation. DENIS C. THERIAULT Whitsell Auditorium.
