| Mike Relm, Peanut Butter Wolf, Party Ben Mezzanine | Fri., December 5, 9:00pm | South of Market | |
 Bay Area natives Mike Relm and Peanut Butter Wolf (the latter lives in L.A., but he grew up here so we can still claim him) have taken their DJing into new dimensions over the last several years by mixing videos with vinyl. Relm tends to weave together swathes of film and television samples,... More >> |

| Ask Dr. Hal Chez Poulet Gallery | Every week Wednesday | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 A live you-ask-the-questions game show with ridiculous video clips, Google-fu, and a genius in a fez: Voilá the Ask Dr. Hal Show. Step right up and ask any question of the good doctor, and he answers, sometimes in verse, and always using charmingly Rococo language. Who is he, and why... More >> |

| A Christmas Tale Bridge Theatre | Daily | Richmond (Inner) | |
 A Christmas Tale feels like all 12 days of seasonal merriment, and then some. This comic, ultimately touching family melodrama is a heady plum pudding of a movie—studded with outsized performances and drenched in cinematic brio. The concoction is over-rich, yet irresistible. The narrative... More >> |

| Religulous Embarcadero Center Cinema | Daily | Embarcadero | |
 Bill Maher's one-man stand-up attack on religious fundamentalism is a dog that has more bark than bite—a skeptical, secular-humanist hounding of the hypocrites, amusingly annotated with sarcastic subtitles and clips from cheesy biblical spectacles. Religulous opens with Maher at ground... More >> |

| Slumdog Millionaire Embarcadero Center Cinema | Daily | Embarcadero | |
 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Well, who wouldn’t in this economy, even if the currency in question is rupees and winning the loot means being pegged as a fraud, getting a firsthand education in “enhanced” interrogation methods? Such is the fate that greets Jamal, the 18-year-old... More >> |

| Synecdoche, New York Lumiere Theatre | Daily from Wed., November 26 until Wed., December 31 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 If you traveled the length of John Malkovich’s medulla oblongata and walked through the adjoining door of the interstellar hotel room at the end of 2001, you might end up somewhere in the vicinity of Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York—a two-hour, thrill ride so deep into the... More >> |
|||
| Beauty in Trouble Lumiere Theatre | Daily from Fri., November 28 until Thu., December 4 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 The center of Beauty in Trouble, Czech director Jan Hrebejk’s trying foray into soapy realism, is the kind of provincial hard-luck lass who shows boob at a funeral and sweetens sauvignon blanc with a dousing of soda pop. Marcela (Ana Geislerová) has crazy sex—and that’s... More >> |
|||
| Eden Lumiere Theatre | Daily from Fri., December 5 until Thu., December 11 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Eden, a portrait of an imploding marriage, is remarkable for every reason that counts in a good film: Its emotions are passionate and immediate, yet from the first frame we are trusted to understand, free of manipulation, exactly what this husband and wife of 10 years are suffering and...

| "94117" Madrone Lounge | Every week Monday, 6:00pm-12:00am | Haight/Fillmore | |
 We're bigs fans of trivia nights at bars, and this is why: While trying to figure out what city the very last Pony Express ride ended in while sober is extraordinarily annoying, doing so while buzzed is fun. Hilarious, even. So while we have not (yet) attended the new bar event "The Game Show... More >> |

| Dream of Life Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Thu., December 4 until Sat., December 6 | Haight/Fillmore | |
 If Patti Smith's narration to Dream of Life was simplified into a stanza, it might go something like this: As long as I can remember I sought to be free/Bob Dylan once tuned this guitar for me/My mission is to give people my energy/Fred, Jesse, and Jackson are my family tree/New generations,...

| The Exiles Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., December 7 | Haight/Fillmore | |
 For the length of Kent MacKenzie's rediscovered 1961 feature, the past is not distant: It's vital, concrete, immediate—a record of vanished sites and vanquished dreams suspended in an eternally looped present. An account of 14 dusk-to-dawn hours in a community of relocated Native... More >> |
|||
| Choke Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Tue., December 9 until Wed., December 10 | Haight/Fillmore | |
 There's a whole lotta fucking going on in Choke, Clark Gregg's adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's first-person novel about a sex addict named Victor Mancini with severe Mommy issues—fucking in a cramped airplane bathroom, on a
barnyard's itchy haystack, in a grimy toilet stall, in a... More >> |

| I Can't Think Straight Roxie Theater | Daily from Fri., November 28 until Thu., December 4 | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Fall asleep flipping channels between Oxygen, Here!, and Lifetime, and you’re likely to find Shamim Sarif’s slickly innocuous lesbian romance now showing on your eyelids. (“Slick” isn’t the half of it—every image seems to have been Scotchgarded.) On neutral ground... More >> |

 The groundbreaking French novelist and filmmaker Alain Robbe-Grillet, who died in February, was a sly and good-natured provocateur.
