FILM & TV: “Daredevil”
Ackerman Grand Ballroom
May 29

So he may not be “Spider-Man” or
“Batman” and from his box office numbers this may be
the last we see of him, but Daredevil is still at least kind of
cool. Well, at least he’s not Aquaman. This fine comic book
film features Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and ex-UCLA security
guard Michael Clarke Duncan. It’s not terrible ““ expect
something like “The Hulk” to be worse ““ so if you
have nothing to do tonight, go zone out with this glitzy
action-packed bonanza. Hey, it’s even got Jon Favreau and
Colin Farrell. Showtimes are 7 and 9:30 p.m. Admission is $2.

“The Movie That Inspired Me”
James Bridges Theater
May 29

Curtis Hanson continues his talks with movie celebs as they
ponder the nature of films and how they fell into the business
““ what movies brought them there. This week’s guest is
Elmer Bernstein who is responsible for such legendary scores as
those for “Animal House” and “The Magnificent
Seven.” Bernstein will be presenting “Alexander
Nevsky” which was directed by Sergei Eisenstein. General
admission is $7, with senior, student and alumni association
discount tickets running at $5.

“What Lies Between: The Autobiographical Impulse
in Film and Video”
James Bridges Theater
May 30, June 2

May’s last installment of this continuing series that
exhibits filmmakers turning the cameras around features
Jeanne-Pierre Gorin and Chantal Akerman. The series picks back up
the following week in June with Wim Wenders’
“Tokyo-Ga.” Admission is free and open to the
public.

admission. Showtime is 8 p.m. For ticket information, call

MUSIC: Flaming Lips and Liz Phair
The Hollywood Palladium
May 29

Come for the novelty, stay for the tunes. And by
“novelty,” we don’t mean the silly, lovable
onstage antics of everyone’s favorite aging quirk-rockers the
Flaming Lips. No, we mean the presence of bold, brash female
dominatrix turned corporate whore Liz Phair. We’d like to
think that her latest album, produced by the guys behind Avril
Lavigne’s “Let Go,” is nothing but a
tongue-in-cheek practice of hipster irony, but that CBGB’s
shirt she wears in her publicity shots shows she’s taking
things a bit too far. Regardless, the novelty’s worth
checking out. Maybe some “Exile in Guyville” numbers
sound great filtered through a vocoder. Check www.ticketmaster.com
for availability.

Fowler Out Loud: Voice! The A Cappella Choirs of UCLA
(reprise)
Fowler ““ Davis courtyard
May 29, 6 p.m.

Fowler Out Loud brings its yearlong series to a close with their
final event of the school year, featuring some of UCLA’s best
a cappella choirs and special guest Isabella Bablumian. Admission
is free.

Black Eyed Peas
Westwood Plaza
May 29, 6 p.m.

Hip-hop staples of the West Coast underground Black Eyed Peas
have been performing around for years, including a recent date in
front of thousands at the Coachella Valley festival. Known for
their incendiary live presence and mic skills, the group will
likely capture the attention of anyone passing by the Plaza.
Admission is free.

Arthur Lee and Love
Royce Hall
May 30, 8 p.m.

It’s not often that a band’s canonized status can be
attributed to the effects of one single album instead of the
group’s larger body of work. Though Arthur Lee’s folk
rock/psychedelic group Love is responsible for three masterful
albums; had they only released the baroque, folk-tinged
masterstroke “Forever Changes,” they’d still have
their place in the rock pantheon. Lee and his bandmates have the
opportunity to prove it to the Royce Hall crowd as they perform the
album in its entirety Friday night. Contact the Central Ticket
Office at 825-2101 for ticket info.

Powell Music Concert Series: Musica Humana, UCLA Early
Music Collective
Powell Library Rotunda
May 30, 7 p.m.

Powell Music Concerts in the Rotunda feature student and faculty
groups from the UCLA Departments of Music, Musicology and
Ethnomusicology. The series, created to give student music groups
another venue to perform on the campus, will close out the school
year with a performance from Musica Humana. Admission is free.

Coldplay
Hollywood Bowl
May 31, 8 p.m.

They’re not the world’s worst band, but give them
time. We hear Travis might be retiring soon and Matchbox Twenty and
the Goo Goo Dolls can only persist for so long. If you’d like
to punish yourself or just build up some good karma by helping
these young Brits out, buy tickets to this show. Check ticketmaster
for more info.
