Happy Veteran's Day guys! We're at the beginning of the first weekend after the official end of the Halloween season, and I think it really shows. There are some new movies out today, and a couple of cool screenings with special guests, but there is much less going on in general. So it you find yourself looking for something to do tis Sunday, stop by the DNA Lounge for the first ever San Francisco Punk Metal Flea Market, presented by Savage People. (Get to know them here.) But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's check out what's playing.
