It's hard to believe!!!!!

500 DAYS OF SUMMER  (PG13) Sometimes the hard reality is that good movies will often be placed at the "wrong" theater!
No, this is not my standard rant on the "other guys", because this happens to us too! There have been many instances in the past where a particular film is just not suited to the Avon, yet might be doing well at the places that have more of the "mall crowd". The sad part of this scenario is when a studio will place a movie elsewhere that we KNOW is more our type of fare...
 That is the case with this wonderful little film.
Don't come expecting some kind of raunchy trash bash or embarrassing teenage angst; this speaks to universal themes that we can all relate to, and it does it so well! The two stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are such talents, and have incredible screen chemistry. They have even been liked to a modern-day 'Tracy and Hepburn'!! Charming and always inventive; we brought this in for ONE WEEK ONLY, because we thought we'd give it "the Avon approval".

JULIE & JULIA (PG13) Ok, so here we are in the 4th week of this wonderful MERYL STREEP & AMY ADAMS movie, and it shows little signs of slowing down. This is one you can see more than once, and never get tired of! Will it be here much longer?? That will depend on how well it does this weekend. We are keeping it in the big main Avon just in case there is still a lot of life left in it!
