Across town at the Aero, meanwhile, are two music documentaries on Bob Dylan and Lil Wayne, respectively: D.A. Pennebaker's Don't Look Back and Adam Bhala Lough's The Carter. The show is free, but we've yet to confirm whether purple drank will be sold at the concession stand.

Also, it's your last chance to catch Cinefamily's one-week run of Beyond the Black Rainbow, a sci-fi throwback likely to alter your mind all by itself.
