Kim Ki-duk’s 2005 drama 3-Iron does indeed feature a golf club used as a weapon, but otherwise the film is mostly a serene and sometimes funny contemplation of alienation in South Korea, based on the real-life story of a drifter who squatted in the uninhabited homes of vacationers, doing laundry and household chores while he was there. The film, part of the new semester’s KinoMonda series, screens at 6:30pm at Sid Richardson Bldg, TCU, 2955 S University Dr, FW. Admission is free. Call 83Iron17-257-7292.

You’ll feel like going for a drive after seeing the Modern’s new show, Road Tested. It’s devoted to the artist Ed Ruscha, who’s had exhibits at the Modern before. This one, however, focuses specifically on the abstracted paintings he’s done that were inspired by gas stations and signs he saw while driving through the expanses of the American West. The show runs Jan 23-Apr 17 at 3200 Darnell St, FW. Tickets are $4-10. Call 817-738-9215.
