THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (PG)   Comedy  (2 hr 2 min --not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
Now that The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is full up with its long-term residents, co-managers Muriel Donnelly (Maggie Smith) and Sonny Kapoor (Dev Patel) have a dream of expansion, and they've found just the place: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. With plans underway, Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) venture into the Jaipur workforce, wondering where their regular breakfast dates will lead. Meanwhile, Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) navigate the swirling waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two very eligible suitors, and recent arrival Guy Chambers (Richard Gere) finds a muse in Sonny's mother, Mrs. Kapoor (Lillete Dubey) for his next novel. As his marriage to Sunaina (Tina Desai), the love of his life, quickly approaches, Sonny finds his plans for the new hotel making more claims on his time than he has available. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is Muriel, the keeper of everyone's secrets. As the big day nears, family and guests alike find themselves swept up in the irresistible intoxication of an Indian wedding.​ 
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is about as original as its title -- but with a cast this talented and effortlessly charming, that hardly matters.

BIG EYES (PG13)   Drama  (1 hr 46 min --not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
Directed and produced by Tim Burton, BIG EYES is based on the true story of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), who was one of the most successful painters of the 1950s and early 1960s. The artist earned staggering notoriety by revolutionizing the commercialization and accessibility of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. The truth would eventually be discovered though: Keane's art was actually not created by him at all, but by his wife, Margaret (Amy Adams). The Keanes, it seemed, had been living a lie that had grown to gigantic proportions. BIG EYES centers on Margaret's awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work. 

Well-acted, thought-provoking, and a refreshing change of pace for Tim Burton, Big Eyes works both as a biopic and as a timelessly relevant piece of social commentary.

STILL ALICE (PG13)   Drama  (1 hr 41 min--not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children, is a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a diagnosis of Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease, Alice and her family find their bonds thoroughly tested. Her struggle to stay connected to who she once was is frightening, heartbreaking, and inspiring.

Elevated by a gripping performance from Julianne Moore, Still Alice is a heartfelt drama that honors its delicate themes with bravery and sensitivity.

VIOLENTposterB.jpg
A MOST VIOLENT YEAR (R)  Crime Drama/Action  (2 hr 5 min--not including 8 to 12 min of previews)
Set during the winter of 1981 -- statistically one of the most crime-ridden of New York City's history -- A MOST VIOLENT YEAR is a drama following the lives of an immigrant and his family as they attempt to capitalize on the American Dream, while the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built. 
Gritty, gripping, and weighted with thought-provoking heft, A Most Violent Year represents another strong entry in writer-director J.C. Chandor's impressive filmography.

RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO
Not withstanding any further March weather grief Mother Nature has in store for us, I am happy to report the Cinema Gods have smiled on us THIS weekend, with dry weather and the highs in 40’s!!

Just in time for one of the BIGGEST “Avon movies” in months: THE SECOND BEST MARIGOLD HOTEL (PG)!!

 

Back in May of 2011, we popped the first installment on our screen, and were pleasantly surprised at how much all of you liked it!

This time, we have the same great ensemble cast, with the addition of RICHARD GERE and Oscar nominee DAVID STRATHAIRN (he played Edward R. Murrow in “Good Night and Good Luck” remember?).

With the slate of good movies booked well into April, and a summer looking 100% better than last summer, we are optimistic for some great upcoming movie-going times!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Avon Theater has been YOUR locally owned & family-operated 'hometown theater' for almost 100 Years!! 
This weekend, I'm looking for you and you and...YOU!!
