Here's this weekend's sampling:

Music

Smith and Oliver North.

Friday, 7pm, BOK Center.
  • Symphony By The Sea. Imagine strolling beside a shark tank while an ensemble of musicians plays Jaws. You don't have to imagine too hard; you can actually experience this at Oklahoma Aquarium with Tulsa Symphony Orchestra tonight. Friday, 6:30pm, Oklahoma Aquarium.

  • Piranha 3D. A sudden underwater tremor unleashes a prehistoric strain of man-eating fish, wreaking razor-toothed terror on spring break.
  • The Switch. Is this a movie or the plot of a South Park episode? Someone tell me: Jennifer Aniston decides to become pregnant by inseminating herself, unaware that the, uh, baby batter is from her best friend.
  • Vampires Suck. Becca, an anxious, non-vampire teen, is torn between two boys in this comic spoof of teen angst, romance and vampire flicks.
