BRIGHT STAR (PG)
>From the 83% nationally positive reviewed "Rotten Tomatoes" website: 
London 1818: a secret love affair begins between 23 year old English poet, John Keats, and the girl next door, Fanny Brawne, an outspoken student of fashion. This unlikely pair started at odds; he thinking her a stylish minx, she unimpressed by literature in general. 
It was the illness of Keats's younger brother that drew them together. Keats was touched by Fanny's efforts to help and agreed to teach her poetry. 
By the time Fanny's alarmed mother and Keats's best friend Brown realized their attachment, the relationship had an unstoppable momentum. Intensely and helplessly absorbed in each other, the young lovers were swept into powerful new sensations, "I have the feeling as if I were dissolving", Keats wrote to her. Together they rode a wave of romantic obsession that deepened as their troubles mounted. Only Keats's illness proved insurmountable.
BRIGHT STAR makes a lot of '"Best of the Year" lists, and yet it is NOT a movie that will play well at the multiplex theaters!
This is an "AVON MOVIE" in the truest sense of the word!
It is rated "PG", so no nudity, or buildings blowing up, or superheroes, or computer generated hoo-hah, or blood and guts!
Just a wonderful movie for intelligent and discerning patrons!
That sounds like the Avon crowd to me! NOTE: LIMITED ENGAGEMENT!!!

JIM CARREY as Scrooge in Disney's re-imagining of the timeless Dickens classic tale.
Is it too early to think about Christmas?
I don't think so!
In fact, there are "some" who already have their tree up and their house decorated!
Are such people lunatics or just big fans of the Yuletide season?
(The answer to that should be weighed very carefully, as my wife put up our tree 5 days ago!)

A NOTE FROM THE HEAD HONCHO...
You will notice, from time to time, during the winter we will drop the Sunday night 3rd sets.
So, this week's schedule is not a typo!

After almost 11 years of operation, we know our market and area, and know what will work best for our location.
Depending on the product showing, we make a decision to minimize our exposure on overhead by shutting down a little early on certain Sundays.
As the holidays approach, we will not have that luxury!!
BUT, this week is a different story!
So, read the schedule carefully!!

Come See Me Soon, Folks!!
-Skip Huston
