NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS (PG) Ok, here we go! Here is the BIGGEST movie of the Christmas season and, maybe the BIGGEST movie of the YEAR!! Nicolas Cage and the whole gang from the first one return for another utterly preposterous romp! The first movie made a whole lot of people happy, and a whole lot of critics angry! It was the movie that first pointed out how hopelessly out-of-touch most film critics are! If you go to the movies to be entertained, well, HERE IT IS!! Great fun for the whole family!!

CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR (R) All I have to say is TOM HANKS and JULIA ROBERTS, and that should be enough for you to put those hush-puppies in gear and hotfoot it to The Avon!! This is based on a book that, in turn, was based on a true story! It really is one of those "truth is stranger than fiction" stories! And, if those two huge stars are not enough, we also have Oscar winner Phillip Seymour Hoffman along as a rather shady CIA agent! (Is there any other kind?) This is perfect for the "Avon" crowd!!

CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR (R)

I AM LEGEND (PG13) Will Smith is the last man on earth, but he is NOT alone! Great line, huh? I remember reading Richard Matheson's book back in the late 1950's and it scaring the beejeezus out of me! It was filmed twice before, but this is the first time using its original title. This is currently the #1 movie in America, and a scary, yet fun, holiday treat!

The Huston family wishes ALL of you a wonderful and memorable Holiday Season!
This is the time to try and put your worries aside and simply enjoy the love of your
friends and family.

My still sharp-as-a-tack 81 year-old Mom tells me this:
"Be sure to treat all of your loved ones as if the last time you see them, really IS
the last time you see them!"

Our lives are such a fragile and divine moment, and we are all just trying to do
the best we can...
I know my life has been enriched by having the pleasure to bring you so much fun
and entertainment these past 9 years!

May almighty God grant we are all still together for many years to come!!

Here's a Holiday Toast to YOU!!

Skip & Susan Huston 
...and the WHOLE Avon Theatre family!
Chris, Troy, Eddie, Ashley, Howard, Brian, Whitney, Hannah, 
Mary, Chuck, Doug, Orrin, Molly, Jill, Annemarie, Jennifer, Sara, Jason, Brianna -and...... 
                             Melissa, Ryan & Lily Belle Rinchiuso!
