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!!

Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect.

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO

So, its "that" time again!
Once a year we open the Avon to the wildest and most outrageous Halloween costume bash of all: THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.

Understand that, unlike other theaters who merely just show the crummy movie (yes, I said that), we have a complete stage show and costume extravaganza, along with the movie!!
Indeed, we have one of the BEST "Rocky Horror" experiences in the Midwest!
BUT...
I'm not trying to get you to come unless you are fully aware of what is happening.
It is a phenomenon the open-minded should experience at least once, but its NOT for everybody!

Join me and the Avon girls (if you can recognize them in costume) and several hundred more revelers, along with the Millikin Shadow Cast (made up of some of Millikin's finest theater students) as the Avon is transformed into a dancing, singing, yelling phantasmagoric madhouse!

FRIDAY & SATURDAY (Oct. 26th & 27th) at MIDNIGHT!! All tickets $10 (No Passes)
Collectible tickets are now on sale.
Doors open about 10:45.
"Let's do the TimeWarp again!"

"If you don't know, don't mess with it!"
-Mr. Natural circa 1971

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Come See Me This Weekend!
I'm looking for you and you and...YOU!!!
