The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury's lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. bohemian_rhapsody_ver2.JPG BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (PG13) FRI: (4:45) ? 8:00 SAT: (1:30) ?

A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key, which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. nutcracker_and_the_four_realms_ver19.jpg THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS (PG) FRI: (4:00) ? 7:00 SAT: (1:00) ?

SISSY SPACEK OLDMANANDGUN1.png THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN (PG13) THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford), from his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public. Wrapped up in the pursuit are detective John Hunt (Casey Affleck), who becomes captivated with Forrest's commitment to his craft, and a woman (Sissy Spacek), who loves him in spite of his chosen profession. Critics Consensus: A well-told story brought to life by a beautifully matched cast, The Old Man & the Gun is pure, easygoing entertainment for film fans - and a fitting farewell to a legend.

"Widows" is the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities. Set in contemporary Chicago, amid a time of turmoil, tensions build when Veronica (Oscar (R) winner Viola Davis), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo) take their fate into their own hands. Critics Consensus: Widows rounds up a stellar ensemble for a heist thriller that mixes popcorn entertainment with a message - and marks another artistic leap for the director. WIDOWS (R) COMING NOV. 16th!! ++++++++++++++++++++++ SKIPANDSUE1984.bmpSKIP&SUE.bmp 1984 ----? NOW Skip & Sue Huston (Married 34 years on Nov. 10th!!) RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO On Nov. 10th, 1984, I paid $35 to the Washoe County Courthouse in Reno, Nevada, and made Susan Burke my bride. Our only guests were her family, and there was no cake or decorations or that kind of hoo-hah It was just a simple civil ceremony. We took a short honeymoon to Lake Tahoe (only about 40 miles away) That was 34 years ago this Saturday. When I turned 68 last August, I realized that half my life has been spent with Susan. -And, I wouldn?t have it any other way. She is a constant source of amazement to me! With her love of running and constant trips to the gym, she is in better shape at 62, than many who are decades younger. As we ambled down that 34 year pathway, our family grew With our daughter, Melissa, and her outstanding husband, Ryan, and two granddaughters, Lily and Addison, my cup does truly runneth over! Being a Decatur native, I did what so many of our young people still do, and left in 1975 to find my future in California. I was employed in mid-management with a national video distributor for many years, and, after marrying Susan in 1984, I dragged my young family all over the west as a result of promotions and better opportunities. We went from Reno to Salt Lake City to Denver. It was in 1989 I was offered a transfer to Illinois to cover our retail accounts here in the state. Susan had never been east of the Rockies. We arrived in Decatur on a very cold winter day in December of 1989. We had driven ahead of the moving van, with Susan, Melissa, 3 cats and a hamster. And, now Decatur was our home. Susan loves the Midwest. She still adores the high desert of Nevada, with its majestic snow-capped mountains, and she visits family there often. But, Decatur is where I stopped taking the relocations and promotions, and held true to my roots. We had been married about 5 ? years when we came to Decatur. The last 28 ? years we have spent here. I eventually would retire from the video distributor, and set my sights on reviving an old, closed-down movie theater from my youth. That was when The Avon Theater came into our lives. And, now we are in our 20th year of owning and operating The Avon! Every life and marriage has its ebbs and flows, and we are certainly no exception. But, we?ve never stopped believing in each other, and therein may lay the secret. It?s been a wonderful ride, and, God willing, there are still miles to go before we sleep (apologies to Walt Whitman). HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HONEY!! It was the best $35 I?ve ever spent! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The ORIGINAL $5.00 TUESDAY!! tightwad.JPG +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Avon Theater has been YOUR locally owned, family-operated 'hometown theater' for ALMOST 102 Years!!

A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key, which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. nutcracker_and_the_four_realms_ver19.jpg THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS (PG) FRI: (4:00) ? 7:00 SAT: (1:00) ?

"Widows" is the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities. Set in contemporary Chicago, amid a time of turmoil, tensions build when Veronica (Oscar (R) winner Viola Davis), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo) take their fate into their own hands. Critics Consensus: Widows rounds up a stellar ensemble for a heist thriller that mixes popcorn entertainment with a message - and marks another artistic leap for the director. WIDOWS (R) COMING NOV. 16th!! ++++++++++++++++++++++ SKIPANDSUE1984.bmpSKIP&SUE.bmp 1984 ----? NOW Skip & Sue Huston (Married 34 years on Nov. 10th!!) RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO On Nov. 10th, 1984, I paid $35 to the Washoe County Courthouse in Reno, Nevada, and made Susan Burke my bride. Our only guests were her family, and there was no cake or decorations or that kind of hoo-hah It was just a simple civil ceremony. We took a short honeymoon to Lake Tahoe (only about 40 miles away) That was 34 years ago this Saturday. When I turned 68 last August, I realized that half my life has been spent with Susan. -And, I wouldn?t have it any other way. She is a constant source of amazement to me! With her love of running and constant trips to the gym, she is in better shape at 62, than many who are decades younger. As we ambled down that 34 year pathway, our family grew With our daughter, Melissa, and her outstanding husband, Ryan, and two granddaughters, Lily and Addison, my cup does truly runneth over! Being a Decatur native, I did what so many of our young people still do, and left in 1975 to find my future in California. I was employed in mid-management with a national video distributor for many years, and, after marrying Susan in 1984, I dragged my young family all over the west as a result of promotions and better opportunities. We went from Reno to Salt Lake City to Denver. It was in 1989 I was offered a transfer to Illinois to cover our retail accounts here in the state. Susan had never been east of the Rockies. We arrived in Decatur on a very cold winter day in December of 1989. We had driven ahead of the moving van, with Susan, Melissa, 3 cats and a hamster. And, now Decatur was our home. Susan loves the Midwest. She still adores the high desert of Nevada, with its majestic snow-capped mountains, and she visits family there often. But, Decatur is where I stopped taking the relocations and promotions, and held true to my roots. We had been married about 5 ? years when we came to Decatur. The last 28 ? years we have spent here. I eventually would retire from the video distributor, and set my sights on reviving an old, closed-down movie theater from my youth. That was when The Avon Theater came into our lives. And, now we are in our 20th year of owning and operating The Avon! Every life and marriage has its ebbs and flows, and we are certainly no exception. But, we?ve never stopped believing in each other, and therein may lay the secret. It?s been a wonderful ride, and, God willing, there are still miles to go before we sleep (apologies to Walt Whitman). HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HONEY!! It was the best $35 I?ve ever spent! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The ORIGINAL $5.00 TUESDAY!! tightwad.JPG +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Avon Theater has been YOUR locally owned, family-operated 'hometown theater' for ALMOST 102 Years!!

BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY!! ralph_breaks_the_internet_wreckit_ralph_two_ver4.jpg WRECK-IT RALPH 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet (PG) In "Ralph Breaks the Internet," video-game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and best friend Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) leave the comforts of Litwak's arcade in an attempt to save her game, Sugar Rush. Their quest takes them to the vast, uncharted world of the internet where they rely on the citizens of the internet--the Netizens--to help navigate their way. Lending a virtual hand are Yesss (voice of Taraji P. Henson), the head algorithm and the heart and soul of the trend-making site "BuzzzTube," and Shank (voice of Gal Gadot), a tough-as-nails driver from a gritty online auto-racing game called Slaughter Race, a place Vanellope wholeheartedly embraces--so much so that Ralph worries he may lose the only friend he's ever had. ralph_breaks_the_internet_wreckit_ralph_two_ver24.jpg WRECK-IT RALPH 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet (PG) FRI: (4:00) - 7:00 SAT: (1:00) - (4:00) - 7:00 SUN: (1:00) - (4:00) MON thru THURS: 6:30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NEW FROM THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER!! fantastic_beasts_the_crimes_of_grindelwald_ver2.jpg FANTASTIC BEASTS: The Crimes of Grindewald (PG13) At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. FANTASTIC BEASTS: The Crimes of Grindewald (PG13) FRI: (4:45) - 8:00 SAT: (1:30) - (4:45) - 8:00 SUN: (1:30) - (4:45) MON thru THURS: 7:15 ++++++++++++++++++++++ YOU WANTED TO SEE IT AT THE AVON. AND, WE HEARD YA'!! creed_ii_ver5.JPG CREED II (PG13) Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family's past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring. Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what's worth fighting for, and discover that nothing's more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can't escape your history. creed_ii_ver6.jpg CREED II (PG13) FRI: (4:45) - 8:00 SAT: (1:30) - (4:45) - 8:00 SUN: (1:30) - (4:45) MON thru THURS: 7:15 ++++++++++++++++++++++ Skip&Marquee.jpg RANTS, RAVES & RAMBLINGS FROM THE HEAD HONCHO So, here comes the December movies season, and the annual agony we have to endure about only have three screens!!

If you can't wait, then I guess you'll have to brave "the other guys", but, if you CAN wait, just ask ME if something we had to skip will be coming later. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For those of you who don't follow our wildly popular FaceBook page (the direct link is at the top of this newsletter), you are missing out on some news about holiday sales we are having!!
