-- Lust, Caution (2007): Ang Lee's new espionage flick is rated NC-17 (i.e., the pretentious thinking person's X). Hot. Oh, and it's actually really good -- at least we think so, anyway. Screens tonight at 8 p.m. and 9 at the Embarcadero Cinemas; $7.50-10.

-- Shout Out Louds, Johnossi, Nico Vega, DJ Omar: Sweden band takes the stage tonight, along with three equally stellar aural outfits, starting at 8 p.m. at The Independent; $15.

--The Orchestra of Piazza Vittorio (2006): Documentary about efforts to save Rome’s Apollo Cinema theater from turning into a bingo hall screens tonight. But the big draw is the Orchestra of Piazza Vittorio performance and Q&A with director Agostino Ferrente after the film. Starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Clay Theater; $7.75-$9.75.

-- And of course there's always this meteor shower.
