Get out: Stand-up comedy with John Mulaney

Movie: "Miller's Crossing" "Miller's Crossing" is the Coen Brother's only gangster film. In the timeline of American gangster movies, it arrived long after the Godfather franchise had set the standard for crime family epics and "Scarface" had moved the ball into the territory of blood-sucked sociopaths. But the movie accomplished what its predecessors could not: It will make you laugh. That's not to say that the "Miller's Crossing" is a caper or campy. The film chronicles a 1930s Irish family's efforts to maintain power in the face of a new group of Italian movers and shakers. Caught in between the two, foiling their follies, is the hard-hearted and egoless Tom Reagan (Gabriel Byrne). Reagan could care less who runs the town, or signs his checks. His chief concern--every smart mobster's, really--is avoiding unnecessary complications. While his boss and a rival go to war, Reagan works quietly to snub out the lit match that started the whole fire. August 6 at AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD. Phone: 301.495.6720.
