IF YOU, like so many of us, missed the Los Angeles punk scene of the late 1970s, "What We Do Is Secret" can transport you back.

The scene was rich with drugs, booze and closeted homosexuality, and at the helm of it all were Darby Crash and The Germs, the "most chaotic, most unpredictable band around." This biopic on the band's brief-if-epic rise and fall opens at E Street this weekend.
