The Expendables are back and this time it's personal... Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job.

Ok, Avon Theater fans, just like last summer when we lifted you out of your late-summer doldrums with THE HELP, here we come again with just what the doctor ordered for "our" people!

No, not a caped crusader, or spandex-wearing fanboy idol in sight! 
-Not even some over-priced and over-hyped 3D baloney; just solid entertainment for the audience segment Hollywood seems to have forgot!

When you have MERYL STREEP and TOMMY LEE JONES as a long-time married couple trying to get the 'spark' back in their relationship, and STEVE CARELL as the therapist trying to help them, you can't find a better mixture for laughs and fun!

The reviews on this are EXCELLENT, and its the perfect "Avon movie"!!

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO
With late summer here, and Fall rapidly approaching, this is the time you need to look at our showtimes more carefully than usual, as we start our "Fall hours"...
With "Fall hours", we often do not have a set of showtimes on Sunday evening, and, upon certain occasions, we will not have the Twins playing Mon thru Thurs.
We are fortunate we can run both facilities (The Avon and The Avon Twins) exclusive of each other since they have separate entrances, and we certainly take advantage of that benefit during the slower Fall and Spring seasons in order to conserve on payroll and utilities.
So, look closely at the showtimes! 
I just hate it when you come at the wrong time, when it could have been avoided easily.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I've been on some R&R days off this week, and have been contemplating my upcoming 39th birthday on Tuesday, Aug. 28th...
Y'know, most times I FEEL 25, but...39 really is getting up there!
I'll be 62 before you know it!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Have you seen our new group photo?
A mounted, blow-up of it is now in our lobby.
(I don't have to tell you who the coolest one in the picture is, right?)

We often get compliments on our staff, and there is a good reason so many of them have stayed working with us for so many years...
They LOVE the old theater, and LOVE being a part of it!

We are very selective in hiring. Our staff must understand they are there for YOU.
(But, they must also be TOUGH when dealing with obnoxious cell-phone users, talkers, and other disruptive behavior.)

I know that MOST of you appreciate our "zero-tolerance" policy on texting, cell-phones, talking and other boorish antics.
(If you pay a visit to the "other guys" you will see quite the opposite of our policy!)

Our staff, run by stalwart General Manager, Ashley Petty ('the Mangler") is one of the ingredients that make the Avon so popular!

NEXT WEEK: I'll tell you WHY our popcorn is so dang good!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now, what are YOU waiting for??
I'm looking for you and you and...YOU!!
