WED – MOVIE

In theaters this weekend, Superman Returns, with an upright agenda, disarming modesty, and bullet-defying blue eyes. The latest comic-book movie has no sex and no swearing but plenty of action to satisfy summer-movie fans. (See critic Brian Miller’s review,) Opens in several theaters Wed., June 28. Rated PG-13.

2004’s Sonic Nurse was the best offering fromSonic Youth in years, and their new album, Rather Ripped, is rather awesome, too. Stripped down, melodic, and vocal, the up-tempo new songs might make the Moore feel like CBGB. Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., 206-443-1744, www.theparamount.com. $25. 8 p.m. Fri., June 30.
