Happy Monday everyone, the hardest day of the week is half way over! This is going to be a weird week too, as the Alamo Drafthouse will not be having Terror Tuesday or Weird Wednesday for the next two weeks. (Check their showtimes if you want to see Rogue One though!) We'll instead spend our Tuesday at the Balboa Theatre, mixing some witchcraft with our Christmas week. You can also catch some Christmas horror in the form of Gremlins, and some new horror, The Eyes of My Mother, several times before the week is up. Read on to find out where.

Documentary/ Found Footage
Described in an opening text as a "personal history of cinema, partially inspired by Gilles Deleuze," The Thoughts That Once We Had from master cinematic essayist Thom Andersen (Los Angeles Plays Itself) is a richly digressive journey through cinema. A found-footage film composed entirely of unidentified, yet often recognizable film clips and concise intertitles written by Andersen, Thoughts leaps associatively across a vast territory spanning from Griffith to Godard, using dynamically cinematic images and sequences not to explain, but to embody Deleuzian ideas in all their rich ambiguity and nuance.
