M O V I E S	American Psycho - A young, otherwise well-to-do man seeks opposite for ... Satan. Keeping the Faith - Edward Norton sets himself ablaze and Ben Stiller punches a girl for the love of Jenna Elfman. 28 Days - Sandra Bullock plays a woman who dares to fight her forced attendance at a "rehabilitation center" in an effort to tear down the walls to an otherwise male dominated world of continuous innebriation.
T H U R S D A Y	Tonight's good bet at Monty's Krown (875 Monroe Ave.) is Watkins & The Rapiers. pork tornado WRUR night at Red (171 St. Paul.)
F R I D A Y	Ok, to hell with it, at least for a while. Amy's Comedy Cellar at 7:30 will once again be at Christian's Cafe in Village Gate Square (274 N. Goodman St.) Sondra and I have been going almost every week since its onset, but progress toward greatness is just too darn slow. Last week I was sitting there thinking I'd rather be (1) watching jazz outside, (2) back at California Rollin', (3) watching Crumb at the Dryden Theater, or (4) simply anywhere else. This week will be different. Of course, sushi and sake beforehand at California Rollin' will simply precede something else. For those who are looking to see "real" stand-up comedy, Dom Irrera with Jamie Lissow and Ralph Tetta will be at Comix Cafe (3450 Winton Pl.) There'll be shows at 8 and 10:45 tonight and tomorrow. Last week I saw Better Days open for Johnny Vegas at Milestones. This week Better Days will be on their own at Shorts (35 N. Main St., Fairport) FYI, they're a solid cover band and the lead singer can do a dead-on Steve Page from Barenaked Ladies. Also, Stop Kiss continues this week at Geva Theatre NextStage (75 Woodbury Blvd.) Karaoke with Sugar Bear at Boston Brew Company (251 Exchange Blvd.)
S A T U R D A Y	O'Bagelo's, 165 State Street, noon. Later at Monty's Krown (875 Monroe Ave.) is Mulada. Perhaps before the latenight stuff, you can catch the Hitchcock classic Strangers on a Train at the Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) If you're lucky enough and interested enough, Ben Folds Five will be at the Clark Gym at RIT (One Lomb Memorial Dr.) at 8:00 p.m. In the good-band-names-but-haven't-heard-them is Peachy Neeche with their Diva Show featuring 25 guest female vocalists at the Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave.) Now I don't know about anybody else, but the word diva has sort of taken on a different ... uhh ... connotation in recent years, so I'm not exactly sure what "female" is referring to. WBER night at Red (171 St. Paul.)
S U N D A Y	If you thoroughly fear getting good deals on the Internet, perhaps you'd prefer browsing the Market Pro Computer Show & Sale at The Dome Center (E. Henrietta Rd. and Calkins Rd.)

King of the Hill: Meet the Propaniacs - When Hank runs out of propane during a summer barbecue, Bobby entertains the famished crowd with jokes about propane.
