[Avon-theatre-news] AVON THEATRE NEWS---DEC. 3rd, 2010

[Skip Huston]

CURTAIN RAISER:
This is one of those post-holiday weekends where the studios mandate all films that played the holiday week before be held-over for at least another week.
You will note that there are no new major releases anywhere this week...
-And that's ok!
It gives many of you who were either out-of-town for T-Day, or just not wanting to brave the crowds a last chance to see our movies!
BUT, GET READY>>>
-Because the floodgates are about to open for the Christmas movies!!
The Avon is in line to have one of the best Christmas holiday line-ups in our history too!

I know by now many of you who were on the fence about seeing this incredibly exciting film have heard just how good it is!

MORNING GLORY (PG13)
SOME STRAIGHT TALK HERE...
Ok, short of me coming to all your houses and dragging you down to see this wonderful movie, I don't know how to get you to realize that this film, starring none other than HARRISON FORD, DIANE KEATON, RACHEL McADAMS and JEFF GOLDBLUM is one you do NOT want to miss!

I hear all of you griping constantly as to how movies today are primarily aimed at the comic book fans or the youngsters, yet here comes one that is PERFECT for the Avon crowd, and you don't go see it! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??

If you are one of my film students, you already know that I opine the TITLE can make or break a film.
The title of "Morning Glory" should have been re-thought, but nobody at Paramount asked ME!!
It all comes down to recognition...
A point the marketing geniuses at the studios seem to forget constantly.
And, this point is underscored when I talk to you about this movie and your eyes light up when I mention the stars!

So, I am giving all of you one last chance to see this funny, charming and romantic film!

Don't let me, or yourselves, down!
Remember, if you want more movies about "mature" people, you have to actually ATTEND them!

MORNING GLORY (PG13)
(Showtimes in brackets are $6.50 'Bargain Matinees")

SAT: (1:45) - (4:45) - 7:45
