Los Dios de la Cine
It may come as a surprise to Mission-hoppers but it’s muy dificil to sustain a Spanish-language film festival in this town. Three groups (by our count) have accepted the challenge over the past 20 years, each hamstrung by a community that lacks the financial big-hitters of its compadres in, say, L.A. or Miami. So kudos to Cine+Mas, the current standard-bearer of the San Francisco Latino Film Festival, for assembling an intriguingly wide-ranging program — geographically and thematically — on a shoestring budget. Today’s offerings at Opera Plaza Cinema begin on a high note with Being: Café Tacvba (1 p.m.), a slice of life on tour with Mexico’s most revered and durable rock ’n’ roll band. The beat goes on with F*** My Life (3 p.m.), a Chilean romantic comedy about a yuppie ... Go to event

n the 1950s and ’60s, Mexico’s Churubusco Studios produced a series of bizarre, inventive and increasingly grotesque horror films, eventually culminating in this truly incredible, one-of-a-kind tale of a devil-may-care, 17th century baron and notorious playboy (played in a priceless, over-the-top performance by the film’s producer, Abel Salazar) who, after being burned at the stake for satanic acts, returns 300 years later – in 1961 – to take revenge on his tormentors by devouring the brains of their descendants by use of a long, forked tongue – and an occasional spoon.
A low-budget cult favorite unique in horror-film history, the grotesque but hypnotic cheesiness of El Barón del Terror (released in an edited version in the U.S. asBrainiac) will have you ... 
It is said that three little boys dined at a restaurant and, after eating their fill, informed the innkeeper that they could not pay their bill. To exact payment, the innkeeper chopped them up into little bits and cooked them in a stew.
Nicholas heard about the awful deed and came to the inn to find the boys boiling away in the pot. He told the innkeeper that if he, Nicholas, could find one little piece of each boy that was good, he would perform a miracle and bring them him back to life. Now, what child does not have at least one little piece of good in him? And, so Sinterklaas returned the boys to life and took them into his care.
There is also the story of the three poor sisters. They were the beautiful daughters of a poor peasant. The first was very blonde, the second had raven black ...
