Who Killed the Electric Car?
This documentary on the short life and mysterious death of the General Motors fleet of EV-1 electric vehicles, makes us painfully aware that we came very close to skirting this situation with ever-rising gas prices and at one point had a valuable remedy for the American oil "addiction" we currently face. Interviews with automakers, legislators, engineers, consumers, celebrities and car enthusiasts piece the complex puzzle together, and works to reveal where the blame, for the disappearance of this green alternative, falls. Read the reviews, go let this film educate you about the situation, then please raise hell any way you can. Date: Now through Thursday 8/31, Time: show times 2pm, 4:45, 7:15, 9:40, Place: Landmarks Opera Plaza Theater, 601 Van Ness Ave, Cover: $7.50, $9.50, More Info (DKD)

Zero 7 and José González

Now, defying critics who claimed this group had nothing further to offer, Zero 7 has released a highly-acclaimed new album featuring longtime vocalist Sia Furler, as well as singer/songwriter José González. Come hear how their sound has evolved – or, if this is your first time seeing Zero 7 perform, come ready to be impressed.
