Monday Happenings

Museums

-- MFA admission is free today, and that includes the marquee exhibit El Greco to Velázquez. If that weren't sweet enough, Ramón de los Reyes and his Spanish Dance Theatre will perform the flamenco and other classics. Museum of Fine Arts, 10:00am-4:45pm. Free.

Movies

-- HFA's Unseen Noir series concludes tonight with a brutal double-feature. 99 River Street (1953) features a down-on-his-luck boxer who must clear his name in the murder of his wife. The twist ending still comes as a shocker. The Brothers Rico (1957) is an early, and surprisingly sophisticated, portrait of a man in the clutches of the mob. Harvard Film Archive, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge, 7:00pm. $8/$6.

-- Buster Keaton's silent masterpiece The General (1927) is a train chase, set during the War of Northern Aggression (Keaton plays a Southerner). A young conductor (Keaton) loses a train and a girlfriend in one fell swoop. The plot involves his slapstick attempts to rescue both from the dastardly Union spies. Keaton, known as the Great Stone Face, appears unaware that anything funny is going on -- or that he is acting in a movie. Screens with Laurel & Hardy's Two Tars (1928). Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Brookline, 7:15pm. $9.

Bingo

-- It's a game of bingo where the jeans are tapered instead of pleated, and instead of permanents, women wear mullets. DJs Kris P and Elizabeth Grant host Extreme Bingo and spin classic 80s punk all night. Bowling's free, too. Milky Way, 403 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 9:00pm. Free.
