SKYFALL (PG13) Action/Drama--Running time 143 min (not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
I remember a gazillion years ago, back in the early 1960's, going to see a movie called "Dr. No" at a Decatur movie theater (not the Avon) and really not having any idea what I was about to see...
Oh, sure, I knew President Kennedy was a fan of the Ian Fleming Bond books, but I wasn't quite certain this was something I was going to like.
After all, I was raised on a steady diet of monster movies, and, if it wasn't Frankenstein, Dracula, or the Wolfman, I wasn't too interested.

Then, "that music" came on, and what then began was a 50 year span of James Bond movies!
(And when Ursula Andress came out of the ocean in that bikini, well...)

Yes, Sean Connery was a cool James Bond, and Roger Moore was a bit of a winky-wink dandy.
One-time-only Bond George Lazenby was really pretty good in retrospect.
Timothy Dalton was the first Bond since Sean Connery to fully exude a palpable sense of danger, but Pierce Brosnan was more of a distillant of Roger Moore...
Then came Daniel Craig.

I was familiar with Daniel Craig because he had appeared in many movies, mostly in supporting roles.
-I thought he would be terrible as Bond!
BUT...I forgot one important thing!
Daniel Craig is the BEST actual "ACTOR" to ever play Bond.

The opening segment of Craig's Bond debut CASINO ROYALE absolutely rocked my world, and, all of a sudden the Bond series was re-invented and re-energized for the new generations!
-And, Daniel Craig WAS James Bond,  agent 007!

Now, the critics have been deliriously raving about SKYFALL, and say it is one of the BEST Bond movies, EVER!
(And, that statement, in and of itself, is quite a heady one!)

I know I will be in my seat ready for another roller coaster ride that started all those years ago with "Dr. No", and I hope I see ALL of you there with me in the darkness of the classic Avon Theater!

Ralph (John C. Reilly) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer), the "good guy" star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero.

Based on the best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of growing up. Starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a moving tale of love, loss, fear and hope-and the unforgettable friends that help us through life. -- (C) Summit

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO

So, election day 2012 is history!
Congrats to the winners, and a big thank-you to the losers for even taking the trouble.
With all the mudslinging and chicanery that went into this past election, anyone that dared attempt to compete should be given a nod of appreciation.

But, now the winter approaches, and with it a whole boatload of great movies!

So, let's settle in for the cold weather, and spend as much time as possible in AVONIA!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Come See Me This Weekend!
I'm looking for you and you and...YOU!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here is a sight that will someday very soon
be nothing but a sad memory...
As all of the area theaters start their
conversion to digital projection, we will
shed a tear to see film be relegated to
the trash heaps of yesterday.
It's called "progress", but is it really?
