Screenings in the Bay (Friday to Sunday): Gremlins Rule Breakers Movie Party, Another Wolfcop, Time Tunnel Toy Fair


Are you guys getting ready for the holiday season? Because I know a place that might be a lot of help with that, and it happens to be this weekend...


Yes, the San Jose Super Toy and Collectable Show is back at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds this Saturday! The special guests this time is a very familiar and prolific horror icon, Bill Moseley! And when you've done enough paroozing, why not catch a movie?

The Roxie Theatre is Yorgos Lanthimos themed for the next couple of days and it's all starting tonight with a double feature of his lesser celebrated films. Then, The Killing if a Sacred Deer will take over Saturday and Sunday.

This is also the weekend of the Gremlins Rule Breakers Movie Party screenings, which will be happening at select theatres. We're actually getting two at the San Francisco Alamo Drafthouse, even though one is already sold out...

And last but not least, tonight Another Wolfcop is screening for one night only at the Roxie Theatre! 9pm, be there!

Yorgos Lanthimos's follow-up to his Academy Award nominee (and cult sensation) Dogtooth is another darkly comic, absurdist vision of (in)human relationships, focusing on a mysterious underground organization that helps mourners get over their losses by impersonating the deceased. -- (C) Kino Lorber
