SON OF GOD (PG13)  History / Religious 2 hrs. 20 min  (not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
This major motion picture event -- an experience created to be shared among families and communities across the U.S. -- brings the story of Jesus' life to audiences through compelling cinematic storytelling that is both powerful and inspirational. Told with the scope and scale of an action epic, the film features powerful performances, exotic locales, dazzling visual effects and a rich orchestral score from Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer. Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado portrays the role of Jesus as the film spans from his humble birth through his teachings, crucifixion and ultimate resurrection.

THE LEGO MOVIE (PG)  Family / Comedy 1 hr 41 min  (not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
"The LEGO Movie" is the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO adventure. The original animated story follows Emmet (Chris Pratt) an ordinary, rules- following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. 
Boasting beautiful animation, a charming voice cast, laugh-a-minute gags, and a surprisingly thoughtful story, The Lego Movie is colorful fun for all ages.

In this heart pounding action-thriller, Kevin Costner is a dangerous international spy, who is determined to give up his high stakes life to finally build a closer relationship with his estranged wife and daughter, whom he's previously kept at arm's length to keep out of danger. But first, he must complete one last mission- even if it means juggling the two toughest assignments yet: hunting down the world's most ruthless terrorist and looking after his teenage daughter for the first time in ten years, while his wife is out of town.

300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE (R)  Action / Adventure 1 hr. 43 min  (not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
Based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel Xerxes and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster "300," this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield-on the sea-as Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. "300: Rise of an Empire" pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Artemisia (Eva Green), vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO
So, who wants me to spew another endless diatribe about this Eskimo weather?? 
That's what I thought: No one.
You've all been through it yourselves for the last 60+ days, so I will say this:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
If the weather gremlins are listening, they better know we are sick and tired of these reindeer games!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'll be at our other theater in Sterling, Illinois (70 miles North of Peoria) for part of the weekend, and I'm betting its even colder and snowier up there!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And some of you wonder why I LOVE Summer, and hot weather doesn't bother me at all!
I'm betting most of you would appreciate a few days of 85 degrees right now, huh?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Come See Us this Weekend!! 
We're Looking for you and you and...YOU!
-Skip Huston
