The man who once sang, “Well, I never been to heaven / But I been to Oklahoma” ... well, he probably still sings it, atrocious grammar and all. He’s Chuck Negron, co-founder of Three Dog Night — y’know, “Joy to the World,” “An Old Fashioned Love Song,” “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” — and he performs free Saturday at Newcastle Casino, 2457 Highway 62 Service Road in Newcastle. The show starts at 7 p.m. with opening act Outlaw Son. Call 387-6013 or visit mynewcastlecasino.com.

Preceding the start of The Expendables 2 is an ad for its tie-in video game. Why bother playing such a thing when so many sequences of the the movie make you feel like you're doing so already? I mean that as a compliment, because as directed by Simon West (The Mechanic), the sequel’s 15-minute prologue is so unrelenting in nonstop action that it’s likely to turn you giddy.

Let us now praise a giant of action cinema: Bruce Lee. It seems like a good time, given Shout! Factory’s reissuing of four of the man’s marital-arts titles via a pair of double-feature DVDs: one with 1971’s The Big Boss and 1972’s Fist of Fury, the other with 1972’s The Way of the Dragon and 1978’s partly posthumous Game of Death. In total, that’s three-point-two-five good movies.
