DEFINITELY, MAYBE (PG13) That "Little Miss Sunshine" cutie, Abigail Breslin, is in this one about a daughter and her divorced father (Ryan Reynolds). This is very much a "romantic comedy", but it also is a bit of a tear-jerker too. The three women in the supporting cast, Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher and Oscar-nominee Rachel Weisz, are not only appealing, but lend the film a lot of heart too. This is made-to-order for Valentine's Day weekend!

FOOL'S GOLD (PG13) Hah! I love it when the critics get outwitted by the ticket-buying public! It happened recently with THE BUCKET LIST, where the bad reviews couldn't stop audiences from loving that movie, and now we have it again with FOOL'S GOLD!!
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson as battling divorced sunken treasure hunters will make you not only laugh, but long for the warm days of Summer too when you see all the sun, sand and sea!

A FEW QUESTIONS FOR OUR READERS
Last weekend there was a "glitch" in one of our sources of advertising.
(I guess a "glitch" is a nice way of saying someone really fouled up!)

This error caused many of you to come at the wrong showtimes, and, of course that was annoying to you.

Help us to evaluate where you PREFER to get your showtimes and movie info!
Email me at Skip at TheAvon.com and let me know if you usually get this info from:

A.) Our Website (www.TheAvon.com)
B.) This Weekly Newsletter
C.) Newspaper ads
D.) Calling Our Hotline (422-8151)
E.) Various Web Services (like Moviefone or Fandango)
F.) The Radio

Obviously, some of these mediums we have control over, and some we do not.
Ironically, the ones we have no control over are the ones that cost us the most money!

This little survey is my way of ascertaining what forms of advertising are effective, and what forms are not really necessary and/or obsolete and redundant.

I really appreciate your taking a moment to let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks!

A Note From The Head Honcho
It's mid-February, and, that means just about 6 weeks until April!
Now, I know that April can be very unpredictable weather-wise, but at least it means we are on the home-stretch to Spring!

This has really been a wild Winter, and it isn't over yet!
Those of you who know me well enough, know how much I hate cold weather.

However, I want to thank all of you for braving the cold and snow and supporting The Avon!
We can't exist without your continued patronage, and every show you see with us only helps us to survive!

So, Come See Us This Weekend, and...
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
-Skip Huston
