Top 5 movies to watch in theater pubs this week

By AARON MESH

1. The Band's Visit: Egyptian bandmates make friends in the Israeli Negev. Mazel tov! Academy.

2. Redbelt: David Mamet tackles mixed martial arts. Great until the final act. Mission.

3. Shine a Light: What a drag it is getting old. Academy, Laurelhurst, Valley.

4. In Bruges: Colin Farrell hangs out with dwarves, shoots children. Bring the kids! Bring the dwarves! Laurelhurst.

5. Paranoid Park: Gus Van Sant, Portland locales, lethal teens. Also crippling guilt. It's like Catholic school, only slightly more homoerotic. Kennedy School.
