Wolfmother rocks the Wiltern on Tuesday, November 24th.
WOLFMOTHER: Really deep and thunderous hard rock isn't a distant memory; fans of reverberating rocking have boarded the Wolfmother train. They hail from Australia, critics are crazy about them, and we do believe they have a smidgen of magic possessed by that other Australian hard outfit, AC/DC. If you feel the waves of sound coming off the Wiltern tonight, you'll know why.
"THE ASPHALT JUNGLE": It's a bit of a potboiler, a thriller, with none other than John Huston at the helm. But people often remember this 1950 film as starring Marilyn Monroe, before she became white-blowing-dress-everywhere Marilyn Monroe. It's at the New Beverly Cinema, and tonight's the final night. "Armored Car Robbery" follows.
MARY AND THE GRINCH: Not in the same place, of course. But now that we're thinking of it, might not Mary Poppins have a few lessons for that furry meanie? At least she'd get his cave shipshape in no time flat. "Mary Poppins" is at the Ahmanson, "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical" is at the Pantages.
