Espionage spoofs basically begin and end with Austin Powers. It's understandable. Despite the campiness of the source material, few filmmakers have decided to really send up the genre with a truly great satire since its heyday.

THIS WEEK IN MOVIES RATED IN THE DUMPSTER-DIVING FINDS OF MOVE-IN WEEKEND
TWO IN THE WAVE | FULLY FUNCTIONAL VINTAGE OIL LAMP-TURNED-DESK LAMP
Francocinephiles rejoice: This is the movie you've been waiting for when it comes to French film and nouvelle vague. Following the modern masters of le cinema français, Two in the Wave documents the foundation and dissolution of the friendship between Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. New Wave geeks will freak out over the plethora of never-before-seen footage, interviews and other goodies caught while the camera was rolling throughout one of the most infamous creative partnerships of all filmic time.

JAGGERY.ORG
Upon a Penumbra isn't your typical 10-track album, and Jaggery is not a typical band. An "art-rock collective," Jaggery's intricate, atonal scores fill the album with a philosophical investigation into the genre of experimental jazz.

For someone who prides himself on his independence, M-Dot doesn't lack for friends. The Revere-based MC spent the past two years pushing his music through Boston and beyond, where it reached the ear of French DJ/producer Jean Maron. Maron provides the soundtrack for this solid, if unspectacular, collaboration.

Getting past what is quite possibly the worst album cover of the year, a new mix from DJ Hell is something to celebrate. When I was in diapers, Hell was mixing records, and remains one of the few veterans who can still hold his own today.

Life post-post-punk
In Morrissey's 1995 song "Boxers," a pugilist finds himself on the receiving end of defeat, shamed in front of his hometown crowd, his wife and his son. It doesn't seem like the kind of loss he'll recover from easily, and things seem so bad that even Morrissey's narrator is moved to tears. When Bloc Party singer/guitarist Kele Okereke revisited the figure for his first solo album, simply titled The Boxer, he came from a far more optimistic viewpoint. Surprising, considering the not-so-banner couple of years Kele has had artistically.

What do you get when you throw six photographers onto the dancefloors of the city's favorite nightclubs over the course of five years? Plenty of crazy, colorful, electric-infused stills depicting the heart and soul of Boston nightlife, that's what. In conjunction with the Fourth Wall Project, the Together Festival will be hosting Wish You Were Here, a photography exhibit at Fourth Wall headquarters that features the works of six notable sharpshooters about town: Natasha Moustache, Diana Levine, Lara Callahan, Ricardo De Lima, Derek Kouyoumjian and (the Dig's own) David Day.
