What's everyone got planned for this weekend? Because there are some cool events going on in the city that you may want to consider (if you're not going already that is...). First we have the release of the final installment of the Resident Evil series coming to theatres today. Rivaling it, We Are the Flesh will start a short run at the Roxie Theatre that will go into February. And that's what most of the Overlook creatures are more interested in. This is also the weekend of the last Creepy KOFY Movie Time Party at the Balboa Theatre. We were sad to see the show end; Creepy KOFY used to make our Saturday nights. And it brought a lot of pride, being one of the only horror hosted Midnight Movie show in the bay area. If you're a fan, come out to the Balboa Saturday night!
One last highlight from this weekend is the orientation for anyone interested in joining the Peaches Christ volunteer army for 2017. It will happen Saturday morning at the Oasis SF, from 11-1:30pm. You can RSVP and get more info at the Peaches Christ Volunteer Orientation page. Hope to see some of you guys there!

Before long, the titular gila monster, which is just that -- a real gila monster -- is lumbering about on miniaturized sets terrorizing the community, killing at random, knocking over trains and barns, and in general making a nuisance of itself. When the monster threatens to devour Chace's kid sister, he attempts to dispatch the beast with a hot rod full of nitroglycerin. The Giant Gila Monster was originally released on a double bill with The Killer Shrews.

A lonely taxidermist with a photographic memory dreams of committing the "perfect crime" in Nine Queens director Fabián Bielinsky's deliberately paced existential thriller. Espinosa (Ricardo Darín) is an epileptic fortysomething who makes his living by stuffing creatures for the natural history museum in Buenos Aires. It is there that Espinosa meets friend and fellow taxidermist Sontag (Alejandro Awada). After picking up their paycheck at a nearby bank, Sontag kindly invites the lonely Espinosa to join him in the forests of southern Argentina for a brief hunting getaway. Soon after checking into their hotel, Sontag and Espinosa take to nature in hopes of bagging a buck, but their voyage takes a dark turn when, in the grip of another seizure, Espinosa accidentally shoots and kills hotel owner Dietrich (Manuel Rodal). Though his suspicions that Dietrich was involved with some shady dealings seem little more than a means for justifying the tragic turn of events, Espinosa soon realizes that he may be onto something when a pair of thugs named Sosa (Pablo Cedron) and Montero (Walter Reyno) come searching for the missing proprietor. As all of the elements quickly fall into place, it begins to appear as if Espinosa may finally be prepared to execute the crime he has always dreamt about.
