They’re Back. Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Bloomkvist return this week to Plimoth Cinema in The Girl Who Played With Fire. The film will run for two weeks from July 30 through Aug. 12.

I relish the often unique and non-Hollywood themes that most independent films offer. It was true of the recent Winter’s Bone, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire, and it’s true of the latest offbeat offering, Get Low, running through Sept. 9 at Plimoth Cinema.

The Pinehills will host Concerts on the Green, a free summer music series, featuring live performances by some of the region’s best performers, at 6 p.m. Thursdays on The Pinehills Village Green.

Brockton Rox Mascot K-O will be at Edaville USA Thursday, July 29, raffling off Flex Tickets. Gates open at 4 p.m. and close at 9 p.m. Edaville USA’s 11 amusement park rides will be running, as well as the train every hour on the hour. The indoor/outdoor play area and fishing will be open.

Several different wrestling, boxing and mixed martial arts organizations have found their way inside Plymouth’s Memorial Hall over the years. The historic building will have a new tenant Friday, Sept. 10, when the national Ring of Honor wrestling group comes to town.

From 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29, Colony Place in Plymouth will host the annual Back to School Kids Fest.

It’s like that inspiring quote: “The future is…a place that is created – created first in the mind and will, created next in activity.” The myriad of children’s programs sponsored by the Plymouth Center for the Arts takes this axiom to heart, as it invests its time in teaching, supporting, and mentoring children in their artistic interests and pursuits.

The Jetsons, a very funny comedy penned by Andrew Nielson, very loosely based on the television cartoon, will be the closing attraction at the Priscilla Beach Theatre. The Jetsons performances are at 10:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 27-28 with a special closing performance at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28.

Super Why is a new show for preschoolers on PBS that encourages early reading skills. The show is also available to view online or download as a podcast. One of the Super Why show goals is to make reading adventurous and fun. Super Why does that, and more. The characters go on reading adventures, discover the alphabet, practice the magic of spelling, and use the “power to read” to change the story.

Plymouth-based husband-and-wife Celtic duo Stephen and Susan Lindsay return to the Church of the Pilgrimage in Town Square at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24, for their fourth year appearing in the annual summer concert series.

There is no better film to follow The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire than this week’s Winter’s Bone. There are interesting parallels between Lisbeth Salander and Ree Dolly, the protagonists in those films.
