, The American Craft Beer Weekend Picks – November 2, 2012We’re finally out of the summer doldrums and the movies now being released are getting interesting. We’ve two new movie picks for you this week – so you choose. Robert Zemeckis’ Flight is our prestige flick pick. It stars Denzel Washington (who never sucks) as a pilot with secrets, who saves a flight from crashing and it’s been generating lots of buzz. The Man with the Iron Fists is our popcorn movie pick. It was directed by RZA who has defined himself as not just the mastermind of Wu-Tang Clan but also as one of the best music producers of any generation and this is his first foray into directing. The trailer that we saw had a Tarantino vibe and looked like fun. This one stars Russell Crowe and Lucy Lui.

Austin, Texas is a city that knows its music and they’re putting on something cool this weekend. The Fun Fun Fun Fest 2012 is a festival created by people in the music scene, that are in it every day, and driven by a work ethic found in the music they love.
