WEEK IN PREVIEW

MOVIES

Jim Abrahams & Co. attack “The Godfather” and its ilk with “Mafia!” The spoof stars the late Lloyd Bridges as a klutzy underworld kingpin who must choose either his psychotic son (Jay Mohr) or his war hero son (Billy Burke) to take over his reins of power. It opens Friday in general release.

JAZZ

Bill Holman’s arrangements are crowded, dense and consistently fascinating--yet they always swing. The veteran arranger utilizes (out of necessity) some of the most skilled jazz musicians around. Holman leads his orchestra today at 1:30 p.m. in a free concert at the L.A. County Museum of Art.

THEATER

Ian McKellen headlines in the Royal National Theatre’s new version of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People,” above, about a doctor’s struggle to expose a local pollution scandal. Adapted by Christopher Hampton and directed by Trevor Nunn, it opens Wednesday at the Ahmanson Theatre.

DANCE

Choreographer Bebe Miller brings her eight-dancer company and her highly physical style to the Carpenter Performing Arts Center on Saturday with a preview of “Going to the Wall,” a dance that explores issues of identity, class and race. The work has its official premiere in New York in the fall.

MUSIC

Lawrence Foster leads the annual Beethoven Spectacular with fireworks at Hollywood Bowl on Friday and Saturday. Soloist Seung-Un Ha plays the Third Piano Concerto, there are two overtures, and the evening ends with “Wellington’s Victory.” Foster also conducts the Tuesday and Thursday programs.

POP MUSIC

It looks like a busy week for Deadheads. After Phish plays Monday at Ventura County Fairgrounds, the Other Ones (featuring Grateful Dead alumni Mickey Hart, Bruce Hornsby and, above, Bob Weir, left, and Phil Lesh), headline the Furthur Festival on Wednesday at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre.

ART

The Getty Museum exhibits one of its newest acquisitions as the 12th century German illuminated manuscript “The Stammheim Missal” is the focus of a new installation opening Tuesday. The brilliantly painted and gilded book illustrates biblical stories and is a textbook example of Romanesque painting.

VIDEO

Nominated for a best foreign film Oscar, “Four Days in September” is a taut political thriller based on an actual event. Bruno Barreto directed the Brazilian import which stars Alan Arkin as a kidnapped American diplomat. The acclaimed film arrives Tuesday in video stores.
