Jean Luc-Godard's 1960 classic, "Breathless," will screen Friday night at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica.

Meghan McCarty brings you the Weekend Alibi, a roundup of the best entertainments in Southern California, so when anyone asks you how you spent your weekend, you've got a good alibi.

This week, find ways to beat the heat by hanging out with some cold-blooded reptiles, chilling out with a slice of watermelon or simmering down at the cinema with some preternaturally cool Jean-Luc Godard movies.
