THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (R)   Comedy 1 hr 40 min  (not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting and the battle for an enormous family fortune -- all against the back-drop ofa suddenly and dramatically changing Continent.
Typically stylish but deceptively thoughtful, The Grand Budapest Hotel finds Wes Anderson once again using ornate visual environments to explore deeply emotional ideas.

Mr. & Mrs. Head Honcho last summer
RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO
If all of you could witness the politics that happen behind-the-scenes of operating the Avon, you would understand why I compete so relentlessly against the "other guys" .
We truly have a "David and Goliath" scenario there, but I don't want to sound like a whiner every time they pull their usual brand of tricks...

My main frustration is we only have 3 screens against "their" 22.
That limits us in the movies we can play, and it creates a situation wherein many of you are forced to attend those other 2 theaters in order to see what you want.

If we had even just 2 screens more, I think the "other guys" would hate us even more than they do now! (If that's possible!)

And WHY do the "other guys" hate the Avon?
* Because we try to keep prices for tickets and concessions down?
* Because we won't tolerate cell phones, texting or disruptive behavior?
* Because we are locally-owned, so we KNOW we have to try harder to please you?
* Because we frequently OUT-SELL them on some movies?
* Because our quality and value on concessions is so much superior?
* Because our popcorn makes theirs look like hog-feed?
* Because have been voted the #1 "Best Place to See a Movie" for NINE YEARS IN A ROW?
...and on and on and on...

That's a lot of "becauses"!!

Just remember: The Avon is the only thing keeping "them" from raising their prices even more!
If we weren't around...the mind boggles at what they'd try to do!
(If you catch my drift)
BUY AND SPEND LOCALLY!!

Come See Us this Weekend!! 
The corn is popping; the REAL butter is melting; and we're looking for YOU!!
