Trust Us: A Q&A with Al Pacino, a great musical pairing and celebrating roller coasters

Al Pacino holds court at the Mirage this weekend to take your questions—just don’t make him mad.

GO

Al Pacino Ever wanted to know what Al Pacino’s favorite movie line of all time is? Now’s your chance to find out during this one-man show dubbed “One Night Only.” After the acting legend offers an intimate look at his life, he’ll answer questions from the audience. (By the way, we’d vote for “Say hello to my little friend!”) August 16, 7:30 p.m., $150-$500, Mirage.

HEAR

Grouplove and Portugal. The Man Fresh off a set at last weekend’s Outside Lands festival in San Francisco, Grouplove teams up with Alaskans (and Life Is Beautiful vets) Portugal. The Man for a dancey night of indie rock at Brooklyn Bowl. With Tokyo Police Club, August 16, 8 p.m., $40.

SEE

Boyhood Richard Linklater’s latest movie is also one of his best. Taking place over a 12-year period, Boyhood follows actor Ellar Coltrane as he grows from adolescent to teenager. It’s a fascinating, rich and thoughtful experience. Now playing at Regal Cinemas Green Valley Ranch and Century Suncoast.

She's funny. She created 2 Broke Girls. And she's kinda hot. Not too shabby, Whitney Cummings.

LAUGH

Whitney Cummings She delivered the laughs on-camera with Whitney and still has America in stitches as half of the brains behind 2 Broke Girls. Expect hilarious observations about relationships and current trends (like not farting during yoga) when she takes the stage this weekend at the Venetian. August 15, 10 p.m.; August 16, 7:30 p.m.; $74-$118.

RIDE
