For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is The Skin I Live In (2011), a Spanish horror movie about a mad scientist / plastic surgeon, played by Antonio Banderas, who recruits a young woman as a test subject for his newly-invented artificial skin treatment. He becomes obsessed with her as he tries to prevent the outer world from preventing him from perfectly transplanting the woman’s face. It takes many cues from the classic French horror Eyes Without a Face (1960), which we previously watched. Director is renowned auteur Pedro Almodovar, whose films Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988) and All About My Mother (1999) have previously appeared on Hextube. Critics and audiences both rave about this one, so we'll watch it.

After that is Monsters University (2013), Pixar’s prequel to Monsters Inc. (2001). This one follows the adventures of Mike and Sully in their college days, where they meet and get up to all sorts of antics as they learn to be professional kid-scarers. At first, they can’t stand each other, but maybe they have more in common than meets the eye? Who knows. Good reviews for this, so let’s give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
