But there are still some options out there for audiences that have already seen the better summer hits "The Dark Knight," "Iron Man" and "WALL• E."
For example, would-be crooners can now participate in something called "Mamma Mia!: Sing-Along Edition." Select theaters, including Megaplex Theatres' District and Jordan Commons locations, are showing the musical in a subtitled format that encourages audience participation.
(Call 304-4636 or browse www .megaplextheatres.com for ticket prices and show times.)

• THE GANGRENE FILM FESTIVAL. Despite its rather unsavory-sounding title, the annual event boasts screenings of comedy shorts, stand-up comedy performances and musical concerts. Most, if not all, of it is family-friendly.
Layton's Ed Kenley Amphitheatre, 403 N. Wasatch Drive, hosts this year's event on Friday. A "general audience" session starts at 8:30 p.m., and the "late session," with slightly edgier material, follows at 11 p.m.
Tickets are $7, or $10 for both sessions. More information on the festival can be found at www.gangrene
• GLOBAL LENS 2008. The Global Lens Initiative and the Salt Lake Film Center are sponsoring a series of screenings of "10 feature films from the developing world."
