If you’re in the Atlanta area on Saturday, pay a visit to NovemBEER Fest at the Buckhead Theatre. From 6pm-11pm, there will be over 100 beers, live music and college football up on the TVs. $40 presale and $48 day of event. Look for our Atlanta Correspondent, Tim Ho!
Serious Film Pick: This is a no-brainer. The only movie you should be seeing is Skyfall, the newest in the James Bond franchise. While we are still a bit chapped by the studio’s choice to sell a sponsorship to Heineken, removing his signature martini, we will be seeing Daniel Craig blow some crap up. Still wondering if you should? Peter Travers from Rolling Stone: “This is Bond like you’ve never seen him and a dynamite Daniel Craig, never better in the role, nails Bond’s ferocity and feeling. Skyfall is smashing, just smashing.”
