GET SMART  (PG13) Would you believe a movie based on this long-lamented TV show?? Comic superstar STEVE CARELL replaces the Don Adams role, and the foxy ANNE HATHAWAY is in the old Barbara Feldon role. Throw in Oscar winner Alan Arkin and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and you are in for loads of fun! This has a lot of high-adventure too!

THE INCREDIBLE HULK (PG13) Ok, so the critics actually liked this one too! After those pasty-faced smarty-pants scribes gave good reviews to IRON MAN, I thought that was unlikely to happen again anytime soon...BUT, surprise! This second of the new films from the Marvel line, is a real crowd-pleaser! Of course, it doesn't hurt that an A-list actor like EDWARD NORTON is playing the role either! Great fun, folks!

A NOTE FROM THE HEAD HONCHO...
What a fabulous night was had with last week's special advance showing of Jake Rademacher's extraordinary BROTHERS AT WAR.
As so many of you are aware, this was shown last Thursday, and tickets were at a premium.
(In fact, all 700 seats sold-out in a matter of hours on the first day of sales!)

Yes, it was a "hot" night (in more ways than one), and the show was superb in all facets.
Unfortunately, the double-whammy of the air conditioning at the pre-show at Daugherty's not being able to cool the huge crowd properly, and only compounded by the Avon having the same problem a bit later, was a bit of an obstacle, but the show itself made the higher-than-normal temperatures all worth it.

We have been assured by Jake Rademacher that the Avon will be the local location of the general release run in late August or early September, and, there may be another huge event planned for that opening as well!
(Details as they become safe to quote).

The planners of this thing were a totally awesome bunch (I hate that over-used word "awesome", but it really applies in this instance) and hats off to St. Mary's Hospital, J.L. Hubbard Insurance, The Joyner Radio Group, the Herald & Review, all the local investors in the film, and a dozen that I probably forgot to mention!

Thanks as well to Oscar nominee, actor/director GARY SINISE, who so believes in Jake's movie, he made the trip to the Avon to support it!

Thanks, too goes to our volunteer staff (you know who you are) for becoming citizens of "Avonia" for a night!
I hope you enjoyed yourselves!

Plus, there is our own staff: Our Manager Ashley Petty; our Assistant Manager, Molly Kiick; our Project Coordinator, Jill Bergin, and literally our entire crew who all pulled together to make this happen!

(Not to mention former staffer Mary Herrod, who came back from her home in Indianapolis to sing "America the Beautiful" at the start of the program. What a voice! You will be hearing more from her, trust me!)

Good on ya', guys!

Come See Me This Weekend!!
I'll Be Looking for ALL of YOU!!!
