What's new on the walls, stage, screen and streets of Tacoma and South Puget Sound.

The Grand Cinema's two-week minifilm festival celebrating the 90th birthday of United Artists wraps up this weekend.

Three more classics from the studio are on tap beginning Friday: "From Russia with Love," arguably the best of the Bonds from the Sean Connery era  (Love that close-quarters mano-a-mano fight with "Red" Grant aboard the Orient Express , just love it!); "Some Like It Hot," which many say is the best movie Billy Wilder ever directed  (not me, though; I'd vote for "Double Indemnity," but I'm just a sucker for noir) and "The Pink Panther." Steve Martin? Pa-toooi! A poseur. Peter Sellers was the only actor worthy to be called Clouseau.

Enjoy.
