Grizzly Man—Through Dec. 29. Rarely has the neverending struggle between humanity and nature looked so much like a one-sided battle of wits as it does in Werner Herzog's documentary, the story of self-styled naturalist Timothy Treadwell. Treadwell's passion for nature led him to spend long summers camping with bear packs in Alaska. It took 13 years for him to discover that the bears could, and would, eat him. Treadwell also left behind more than 100 hours of movie footage taken over the course of his last five ''expeditions.'' Rated R for language. Nightly at 7:30 p.m. except Dec. 24, 25. $6, members $4, students and seniors $5, Wednesdays $4. Fountain Theater, 2469 Calle de Guadalupe, 524-8278, www.fountaintheater.org.
