Got see NC's art museum, I mean, come on... :) The nice new building is free with NC's existing collection; there is a fee for seeing touring exhibits in the other building.

If you're going to see that blockbuster movie, go to see it here at Park West in the PDX Cinema (huge screen). It costs a bit more $12 (Tuesdays are $8!!), but the seats are the best ever and the screen is insane. Sit right up front on the ground level, it's the best... There are a few restaurants around as well. Which which, a great sandwich place, is right next door.
