MINIONSposterC.jpg MINIONS 2D & 3D (PG) The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters-from T. rex to Napoleon-the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he-alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. The Minions' brightly colored brand of gibberish-fueled insanity stretches to feature length in their self-titled Despicable Me spinoff, with. often hilarious results.

The weather was incredible, and even though the theater was open, Mrs. Honcho and I took a rare day off and floated in the pool, barbecued, and watched fireworks all over the clear summer sky. Summer is my favorite time of year, but Fall is my next favorite! It won't be long before the leaves will be turning, and we'll be planning Halloween! But, for now.it's summer, and if it would stop raining for the next 6 weeks, that would be ideal!

Instead of going the way most all the theaters would this week by playing "Ant-Man", we decided it was time to bring in something for the people who have kept us going all these years: the highly-acclaimed "LOVE & MERCY"! This is one of those "Avon movies" we told you last Spring you would not see much of until Fall. But with LOVE & MERCY" (PG13) and the upcoming "MR. HOLMES" (PG), we get back to serving YOU, our most important clientele! Remember how The Beach Boys music shaped and defined your life? You don't have to have been a kid in the 1960's; their music is iconic to this day as new generations discover there is something much deeper working there than just feel-good 'surfer music'. -And the brilliant, tortured genius behind that sound was Brian Wilson. This is an equally brilliant dramatic film, that plays with audacity and succeeds. The Avon is perpetuated by fine cinema fans, and this is one of those you will want to see! Just so you can be assured, here in the midst of summer blockbuster (or wanna be blockbuster) season, we don't forget who kept us going for 17 years now! DON'T MISS IT!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Avon Theater has been YOUR locally owned & family-operated 'hometown theater' for almost 100 Years!!

It's a free app, just download it to your device, search for theaters in your zip code, and mark the Avon as a favorite. Very easy to do! (Or, you can put OUR website www.theavon.com on your home screen, and always get things from the source. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Are you happy we have started advertising on Fridays in the Decatur Herald & Review? We are the ONLY area theater to decide to go back and support the newspaper, and I hope you check our listings every Friday when the newest movie reviews are posted. For those of you who say "We don't get the paper", I can only answer with "WHY???" Just like movie theaters, the newspapers, as we know them, will someday be victims to progressive technology. Support them, please. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can also get our listing on our powerful FaceBook page. We have found one of the most incredible marketing tools of today is FaceBook. Check out ours for special promos, and announcements of events. You don't have to join FaceBook if you don't want to. Just go to FaceBook.com and search for The Avon Theatre. You'll find us! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There is always the tried and true method of the telephone! Call our hotline at 422-8151, and hear some crazy guy tell you what's playing and when! Those of you who don't have computers, and don't get the paper, certainly have a PHONE, right? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So, now you can see how frustrating it is when people tell us they can't find our listings! With our listings on mobile apps, our website, our FaceBook page, newsletter, newspaper on Friday, and the phone. What else can we do? Go door to door? Drop flyers on the city? We have every base covered that we can control. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It is with profound sadness and shock that our community lost 2 of our shining stars in the past few weeks. First, it was veteran Herald & Review reporter Bob Fallstrom, who would be reading this very newsletter this week, if. And less than a week ago, our Mayor, Mike McElroy, in a shocking sudden death that our city is still feeling the seismic vibrations from. Both men, I was proud to call friends.

Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters-from T. rex to Napoleon-the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he-alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain.

Instead of going the way most all the theaters would this week by playing "Ant-Man", we decided it was time to bring in something for the people who have kept us going all these years: the highly-acclaimed "LOVE & MERCY"! This is one of those "Avon movies" we told you last Spring you would not see much of until Fall. But with LOVE & MERCY" (PG13) and the upcoming "MR. HOLMES" (PG), we get back to serving YOU, our most important clientele! Remember how The Beach Boys music shaped and defined your life? You don't have to have been a kid in the 1960's; their music is iconic to this day as new generations discover there is something much deeper working there than just feel-good 'surfer music'. -And the brilliant, tortured genius behind that sound was Brian Wilson. This is an equally brilliant dramatic film, that plays with audacity and succeeds. The Avon is perpetuated by fine cinema fans, and this is one of those you will want to see! Just so you can be assured, here in the midst of summer blockbuster (or wanna be blockbuster) season, we don't forget who kept us going for 17 years now!

It's a free app, just download it to your device, search for theaters in your zip code, and mark the Avon as a favorite. Very easy to do! (Or, you can put OUR website www.theavon.com on your home screen, and always get things from the source. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Are you happy we have started advertising on Fridays in the Decatur Herald & Review? We are the ONLY area theater to decide to go back and support the newspaper, and I hope you check our listings every Friday when the newest movie reviews are posted. For those of you who say "We don't get the paper", I can only answer with "WHY???" Just like movie theaters, the newspapers, as we know them, will someday be victims to progressive technology. Support them, please. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can also get our listing on our powerful FaceBook page. We have found one of the most incredible marketing tools of today is FaceBook. Check out ours for special promos, and announcements of events. You don't have to join FaceBook if you don't want to. Just go to FaceBook.com and search for The Avon Theatre. You'll find us! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There is always the tried and true method of the telephone! Call our hotline at 422-8151, and hear some crazy guy tell you what's playing and when! Those of you who don't have computers, and don't get the paper, certainly have a PHONE, right? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So, now you can see how frustrating it is when people tell us they can't find our listings! With our listings on mobile apps, our website, our FaceBook page, newsletter, newspaper on Friday, and the phone. What else can we do? Go door to door? Drop flyers on the city? We have every base covered that we can control. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It is with profound sadness and shock that our community lost 2 of our shining stars in the past few weeks. First, it was veteran Herald & Review reporter Bob Fallstrom, who would be reading this very newsletter this week, if. And less than a week ago, our Mayor, Mike McElroy, in a shocking sudden death that our city is still feeling the seismic vibrations from. Both men, I was proud to call friends.

Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters-from T. rex to Napoleon-the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he-alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. The Minions' brightly colored brand of gibberish-fueled insanity stretches to feature length in their self-titled Despicable Me spinoff, with. often hilarious results.

The weather was incredible, and even though the theater was open, Mrs. Honcho and I took a rare day off and floated in the pool, barbecued, and watched fireworks all over the clear summer sky. Summer is my favorite time of year, but Fall is my next favorite! It won't be long before the leaves will be turning, and we'll be planning Halloween! But, for now.it's summer, and if it would stop raining for the next 6 weeks, that would be ideal!

Instead of going the way most all the theaters would this week by playing "Ant-Man", we decided it was time to bring in something for the people who have kept us going all these years: the highly-acclaimed "LOVE & MERCY"! This is one of those "Avon movies" we told you last Spring you would not see much of until Fall. But with LOVE & MERCY" (PG13) and the upcoming "MR. HOLMES" (PG), we get back to serving YOU, our most important clientele! Remember how The Beach Boys music shaped and defined your life? You don't have to have been a kid in the 1960's; their music is iconic to this day as new generations discover there is something much deeper working there than just feel-good 'surfer music'. -And the brilliant, tortured genius behind that sound was Brian Wilson. This is an equally brilliant dramatic film, that plays with audacity and succeeds. The Avon is perpetuated by fine cinema fans, and this is one of those you will want to see! Just so you can be assured, here in the midst of summer blockbuster (or wanna be blockbuster) season, we don't forget who kept us going for 17 years now! DON'T MISS IT!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Avon Theater has been YOUR locally owned & family-operated 'hometown theater' for almost 100 Years!!

It's a free app, just download it to your device, search for theaters in your zip code, and mark the Avon as a favorite. Very easy to do!

We are the ONLY area theater to decide to go back and support the newspaper, and I hope you check our listings every Friday when the newest movie reviews are posted.

We have every base covered that we can control. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It is with profound sadness and shock that our community lost 2 of our shining stars in the past few weeks.
