Here's what you missed if you didn't pick up today's City Paper.

FEATURES!

In her new film The Kids Are All Right, Lisa Cholodenko successfully presents an offbeat family in the most on-beat of ways. But despite the palpable portrayal, Sam Adams isn't quite sure "why we've landed on their house and not the next one over."

COLUMNS!

In Full Exposure, John Vetesse scopes a few local music/concert photographers. His goal? Find out what it takes to rise above the rest in a world full of camera-phone-toting pseudo photographers.
Patrick Rapa bids farewell to local (but soon to be Georgian) front man Art DiFuria, of the experimental Photon Band.

REVIEWS!

In the Flick Pick, Sam Adams gives The Complete Metropolis — a fully restored version of the broken 1927 anti-utopian "future" film — an A-. And it only took 83 years to make sense. Huzzah!
New Movie Shorts on Agora, The Father of My Children and Salt.

AND THEN THERE'S...

Arts Picks on a new multimedia exhibition entitled Mystic Monsters and the Hedgerow Theatre's production of Chase Me, Comrade.
Music Picks on the viral Cape Towners Die Antwoord, a jazzy Tuesday night jam-sesh, George Burton Quartet, Erik Deutsch and Busses.
Kaleidoscope quick hits on Adler's Appetite (who have an appetite for the destruction of great Guns N' Roses songs), R5's Punk Rock Flea Market, Ron Currie Jr.'s new paperback and Cap N' Jazz.
