MOVIES
‘Smallfoot’
If you missed last year’s animated “Smallfoot” — and, if its less-than-dominant box office haul is any indication, you did — you’ll have plenty of chances to see it over the next week for just a dollar. The movie, about a young yeti (voiced by Channing Tatum) in search of a human, is playing as part of Cinemark’s Summer Movie Clubhouse. See it at 10 a.m. Monday at The Orleans, 10 a.m. Wednesday at Sam’s Town and Suncoast, and 10 a.m. both days at Henderson’s Cinedome.

MUSIC
Judas Priest
Fifty years and countless studded leather get-ups into their career, these British metal pioneers can still back up an album called “Firepower” with ample amounts of its namesake in the form of dual-guitar pyrotechnics and frontman Rob Halford’s octave-leaping wail. See them at 8 p.m. Saturday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel. Tickets start at $49; call 800-745-3000.
