FILM & TV: ManiaFest Laemmle Monica
Theater Sept. 21, 10 a.m. to midnight

The last day of this sci-fi, fantasy and horror extravaganza
finds the likes of Stan Lee, Guillermo del Toro, and Chuck Russel
serving as panelists on a day featuring films inspired by comic
books. Here’s your chance to geek out and watch
“Batman,” “Superman,” “Blade”
and “Flash Gordon” all in one day. Tickets range from
$5 to $130. Visit www.maniafest.com for details.

“Reservoir Dogs” Landmark Nuart Theatre
Sept. 26, midnight

Brush up on your Tarantino lingo just in time for the upcoming
release of the first installment of “Kill Bill” with a
showing of one of his classic films. Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth and
Steve Buscemi are just a few of the stellar ensemble cast that
remind us just how badly a well-planned jewel theft can go. Tickets
are $9.75. Check out www.landmarktheatres.com or call (310)
281-8223 for info.

ASTONISH ME! Jean Cocteau and the Cinema LACMA Sept. 20
to Oct. 4

Born in the middle-class Parisian suburb of Maison-Lafitte,
Cocteau was a precocious youth whose early attraction to aesthetic
pursuits (and other boys) was to mark his future artistic
endeavors. A poet, novelist, painter, illustrator, set designer,
playwright, critic and fashion plate, Coceau is best known outside
France as a gifted filmmaker. He penned the screenplay based on his
famous book, “Les Enfants Terribles,” which tops off
the series. Tickets are $8, $6 with student ID. Visit www.lacma.org
for details.

“Cold Case” CBS Premieres Sept. 28, 8
p.m.

Within a sea of underwhelming new fall TV shows this season,
“Cold Case” is perhaps an unlikely candidate for your
best bet to watch. Yes, it looks an awful lot like all those other
technology-driven investigative crime shows out there
(“CSI,” “Crossing Jordan,” “CSI
Miami,” etc.), but it also stars Kathryn Morris, a talented
actress who we’ve been wanting to see do more ever since she
turned in a small but commanding role as Special Agent Willomina in
2000’s “The Contender.” Give it a shot ““ it
has to be better than “American Dreams.”

MUSIC: Tower of Power Los Angeles
County Fair Grandstand Stage Sept. 27, 8 p.m.

Get funky with the Oakland based band that’s been getting
down since 1967. They’ve got enough horns to blow through a
405 bottleneck, so make sure your soooooul is ready to shake.
Tickets are $13.50-$50. For tickers and more information, visit
www.ticketmaster.com.

Cabaret Open Mike The Vermont Monday nights

Get off your butt and try being the entertainer for once,
instead of always the lazy entertainee. And for the chickens out
there, don’t worry. There’s a one-drink minimum to help
grant you that courage. If that still doesn’t work, the trip
isn’t wasted, some pretty interesting acts are sure to drop
in. $5 cover. Food available! For more information, visit
www.lesmichaels.com.

Television Henry Fonda Theater Sept. 30, 7:30
p.m.

Everything’s cooler when it comes from New York, like how
Television is a band, not a box. If you didn’t catch
guitarist Richard Lloyd performing strange experiments on his six
string last year at UCLA’s Disastodrome, well you better
high-tail it over to this TV set. Tickets are $22. For tickets or
info try www.henryfondatheater.com or www.ticketmaster.com.

Atmosphere Amoeba Music Sept. 24, 7 p.m.

The underground hip-hop group from Minneapolis celebrates the
release of its new album “Seven’s Travels.” They
also play the Knitting Factory Sept 22-23, but why not save a few
bucks and pick up the new Outkast album while you’re there.
Free. For more information call (323) 245-6400.

Mia Doi Todd The Derby Sept. 28

A classically trained singer from Yale with guitar slung
’round her shoulder, Todd’s poignant lyrics and
petal-soft voice is perfect for a night of bittersweet
introspection. Catch her at the Derby before she hits the road for
her European tour. You don’t have to admit it outloud, but
pretty music is pretty cool, too. Tickets are $10. For more
information call: (323) 666-2407

THEATER & ARTS: “Kate
Crackernuts” 24th Street Theatre Sept. 26 through Nov.
2

Multi-award-winning playwright Sheila Callaghan’s comedic

Kubzansky. The 24th Street Theatre tackles this oddball story about
two sisters, a sheep’s head, and a slim raver boy. Tickets
are $15. Call (213) 745-6516 for reservations.

“Jewess Tatooess” Macgowan Little Theatre
Oct. 1, 3-5

The unconventional British artist Marisa Carnesky combines the
gloomy air of the Yiddish Theatre with the bizarre atmosphere of
circus sideshows in this exclusive U.S. showcase. Tickets range
from $17 to $30. Call (310) 825-2101 or visit www.uclalive.org.

“The Whole Banana” The Court Theatre Oct.
4

story about a young female artist’s struggle to find
inspiration. Actor Matthew Perry of “Friends” fame and
