SPECIAL NOTE:
There's a LOT of competition for your movie dollars this weekend, folks! Some of the new films are ONLY at The Avon, and some are at The Avon and "elsewhere" too (and some are not at The Avon at all because we don't have the screen available when we only have 3 of them to work with!). All We Ask of You is THIS: When it is something that The Avon is playing along with "elsewhere", please CHOOSE US INSTEAD OF "THEM"!!
We are the locally-owned theater! Don't Send Your Decatur Movie Dollars Out-of-State!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ELIZABETH--THE GOLDEN AGE  (PG13)  If ever there was a movie with "Avon" stamped all over it, this is it! The VERY FIRST movie we ever played when we re-opened the theater back in April of '99 was the first in this proposed trilogy, the Oscar-nominated ELIZABETH. How's that for destiny, folks? Now, almost 9 years later, we play the new second installment on an EXCLUSIVE basis!
Here is the awesome Cate Blanchett reprising the role that made her famous, with Geoffrey Rush on hand again as well! A welcome addition is hot-as-a-pistol Clive Owen!! This has it all; romance, pageantry, intrigue, battle scenes... Here is a movie for the thinking crowd that will definitely not do well at the malls and "McTheaters" of America unless they showcase it properly (a feat that seems to escape so many moviehouses these days, sadly). TRUST ME: You do NOT want to miss this one!!! AVON EXCLUSIVE!!

ELIZABETH--THE GOLDEN AGE (PG13)
(Showtimes in brackets are $5.50 'Bargain Matinees")
FRI: (4:00) - 7:00 
SAT & SUN: (1:00) - (4:00) - 7:00

WED & THURS: 6:30
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MICHAEL CLAYTON (R) Do you remember those superb thrillers of the 70's like THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR or THE PARALLAX VIEW?? Well, here is a worthy cousin to those! George Clooney shelves the personal politics and turns in an outstanding award-worthy performance as an attorney "fixer" who has hidden a few too many secrets. When you add in co-stars Tilda Swinton (last seen on the Avon screen in 2001's "The Deep End" do you remember?) and Tom Wilkinson and Sydney Pollack (yes, THAT Sydney Pollack) you have the ingredients for a first-class intelligent film!

THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB  (PG13) So, this one is an "Avon Exclusive" now as well! It seems all of you paid us a huge compliment last weekend and came to see this one-and-all in spite of it playing "elsewhere". Needless to say, the "message" was read loud and clear, and the Avon is the only place you can still see this clever and most-enjoyable all-star romp about a group of women (and one man) who form a club to study the works of the legendary Jane Austen!  See it where it always SHOULD have ONLY been: The Avon!!

THE 3:10 TO YUMA (R) Ok, quit yelling at me! I don't want to let this go!!! This is only the BEST WESTERN I have seen in 20 years, and I hate to see it hit the dusty trail, pardner! You all need to see it at least 5 times before it is gone, you know! Some of you have not seen it at all!!! WASSAMATTU??? Russell Crowe and Christian Bale make it terrific even if you don't like Westerns!!
