Hello, Folks!
We'll be on a limited schedule this week (Aug 23rd thru Aug. 29th) because of a whole bunch of wonderful things>>>

First of all: Our new theater / bar / restaurant in Sterling, Illinois OPENS FRIDAY, Aug. 23rd!

Secondly: The Avon's long-awaited digital conversion of our projection system will begin its process on MONDAY, AUG. 26th, and will necessitate our closing a few screens for a couple days. This means we're making the Avon's technology "future proof" and will result in digital sound and projection, and even digital 3D from RealD!

Last, but not least, WEDNESDAY, August 28th is my 39th birthday, and there's always a lot of hoop-de-doo about that!

So, you can see what a busy week its going to be as we go into Labor Day weekend!
Thus, we have a limited schedule, especially during the weekdays this coming week!

Don't miss our FRI, SAT & SUN ONLY showings of UNFINISHED SONG...It's exactly the kind of movie all our long-time fans crave!

Forest Whitaker stars as the butler with Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan, James Marsden as John F. Kennedy, Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B. Johnson, and many more.

In this high-stakes thriller, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth) is a charming, blue collar guy trying to get ahead in his entry-level job at Wyatt Corporation. But after one costly and illegal mistake, Adam is confronted by ruthless CEO Nicholas Wyatt (Gary Oldman). He won't turn Adam in under one condition: Adam must agree to infiltrate the competition as a corporate spy at rival tech corporation Trion, which also happens to be run by Wyatt's old mentor, Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford). Adam soon finds himself packaged for success, surrounded by glamorous boardrooms, expensive cars, and a life he only dreamed of. But behind the scenes, Wyatt is pulling the strings - stopping at nothing, even murder, to win a multi-billion dollar advantage. Realizing he's nothing more than a pawn in his boss's ruthless game, Adam's only way out - is to go in deeper.
