Blade Runner: The Final Cut is playing at the Music Box. Local critics have been shitting their pants over how great it is.

The SOFA Expo is in town. That's the Exposition of Sculpture Objects & Functional Art, and it's tickle your design fetish nine ways. Tickets are $15 for one day or $25 for 3, and it runs through Sunday at Navy Pier.

"Citizen journalism" project A Year at the Wheel kicks off its year-long trek around the country with a benefit show for the West Memphis 3 at the Empty Bottle on Sunday.

Blade Runner still from Warner Bros
