Screenings in the Bay (Friday to Sunday): Pet Semetary, The Lullaby, Ravenous



Happy Friday everyone! It seems the bay area is in for another stormy weekend, but that doesn't mean you have to be stuck at home all day. But when you get tired of walking around and getting soaked, I have some indoor suggestions for you.


Yes, it's that time again, the San Jose Super Toy and Collectible Fair returns to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds for two days of actions figures, games, plushies, comics, and all sorts of collectibles! And as per usual, there are some great guests scheduled to be in attendance. 

We're also getting several new horror releases this week, one of which is available on Netflix as of today, and the other will be screening in the Roxie Theatre starting tonight. Come out, grab a beer and some popcorn, and get ready for the least comforting lullaby you'll hear all week.

Convinced that the entity is real, Chloe will do everything in her power to protect her son. Is she haunted by evil or is it just the baby blues?

Adventure/ Animation (IMDB)
From Academy Award (R)-nominee Hiromasa Yonebayashi - animator on Studio Ghibli masterpieces Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and Ponyo, and director of When Marnie Was There and The Secret World of Arrietty - comes a dazzling new adventure about a young girl named Mary, who discovers a flower that grants magical powers, but only for one night. Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years and only in that forest. Together the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds, and far away to Endor College - a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school, and when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try to set things right. Based on Mary Stewart's 1971 classic children's book The Little Broomstick, Mary and The Witch's Flower is an action-packed film full of jaw-dropping imaginative worlds, ingenious characters, and the stirring, heartfelt story of a young girl trying to find a place in the world. Featuring the voices of Ruby Barnhill and Academy Award-winners Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent
