The annual Wildflower Arts and Music Festival kicks off tonight. Music featured over the weekend ranges from '70s dance (Kool & the Gang), to '80s retro (Night Ranger, Rick Springfield) to local heroes (the Toadies -- and yes, "Possum Kingdom" still gives us chills). Add to that the art on display and food galore, and it's a good time for all. 6 p.m. to midnight (also Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight, Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.) Galatyn Park, 2351 Performance Drive, Richardson. $7.50-$25. www.wildflowerfestival.net.
Stanley Kubrick's 1971 classic A Clockwork Orange is still unsettling, but boasts imaginative storytelling and brilliant incorporation of music. Alex, the ultra-violent teen (Malcolm McDowell), rages through a near-future Britain with his three "droogs," before getting busted and undergoing experimental treatments to re-sensitize him for society's tastes. Come and get one in the yarbles, if you have any yarbles. Midnight. Inwood Theatre, 5458 W. Lovers Lane. $10. landmarktheatres.com.
