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

ARGO (R) Suspense/Drama--Running time 120 min (not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
Universally acclaimed as one of the best films of the year! This recently-declassified factual story is a knockout!

Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis-the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies. -- (C) Warner Bros.

ROBOT & FRANK (PG13)   Comedy /Drama   88 min.  (not including 8 to 12 min of previews and/or cartoon)
Starring Frank Langella, Liv Tyler, James Marsden & Susan Sarandon
Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Frank's son chooses a different option: against the old man's wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and somewhat heartbreaking story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places. -- (C) Samuel Goldwyn 
Led by a brilliant performance from star Frank Langella, Robot & Frank works as both a quirky indie drama and as a smart, thoughtful meditation on aging. Please try this one on OUR recommendation, folks! You won't be sorry!!

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO
We haven't been blessed by a film as good as ARGO in quite some time!
And, I'm not talking about "good" as in the tiresome caped-crusader movies Hollywood grinds out like sausages, nor the special effects CGI extravaganzas that pass for 'quality' simply because they sell a lot of tickets...
I'm talking about sheer profundity in filmmaking and story-telling!

Some of you are still on the fence about seeing ARGO because:
A.) You don't like the title (It makes perfect sense when you see the movie!)
B.) You are concerned about the "R" rating (It's only for some language and smoking, not violence or -shudder- sex.)
C.) You are afraid it might be "political" (Only if you are not "pro-America"; otherwise it is very patriotic!)
D. You really don't like movies that appeal to anyone over the age of 18 (Can't help you there)

I'll just add this: ARGO will be a Best Picture of the Year Oscar nominee for sure, and may even WIN!

And, while I got you here: Don't miss ROBOT & FRANK! I know it sounds like a kids movie or something juvenile from the title, but, trust me: This is one OUR Avon fans should see!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Come See Me This Weekend!
I'm looking for you and you and...YOU!!!
