What to do

You or someone you love is bound to end up at “The Da Vinci Code.” But for those people who just don’t understand what all the fuss is about and who, frankly, don’t care (and I’m willing to bet there are enough of you to leave box-office analysts perplexed; the controversy, in a sense, is the movie), “Brick” is still playing at the Coolidge Corner and Kendall Square theaters. If the material doesn’t necessarily grab you (hardboiled detective-fictive goes to high school), the fact that it’s lasted this long should. This also might be a last-gasp weekend for the cruelly neglected “Akeelah and the Bee” and for “Inside Man,” too.

Speaking of excellent heist movies, the Gardner Museum swiped-art flick, “Stolen,” is also at the Kendall. You could virtually live at that theater this weekend, although I would see Graham Greene and Carol Reed’s “The Fallen Idol” (I’m one of the few people who finds it in some ways superior to “The Third Man”), then I’d hightail it over to the Harvard Film Archive for one or two of those Luc Moullet films. He’s undergone something of a resurgence at rep houses, recently, and with good reason: He slipped through the cracks of the French New Wave, but on occasion he was more Godard than Godard, but without the burden of being so much cooler than you. “Brigitte et Brigitte” and “The Smugglers” are this weekend. (Next weekend’s are even better.)

But the real mystery is: Who among us will see the WWE’s boogeyman, Kane, make his acting debut – sorry, his movie acting debut -- in “See No Evil”?

And in case you’re haven’t read it yet, here’s Manohla Dargis on her first days at Cannes. I’m waiting for her to confirm that she and Tony have been spared blog duty. Keep your fingers that they haven’t. And enjoy your weekend.
