legacy, folks. It is, indeed, among the oldest film forms there are. Back in
1903, it was Broncho Billy Anderson who shot his six-gun right at the screen
and forever cemented the Western in its place in cinema history. It is

AT A FUNERAL</U> (R) </STRONG><FONT size=2><STRONG>There is a certain type of
comedy that the British do so well. It is a comedy of manners and
embarrassments, and outrageous behavior. There are no stars in this that most of
you would recognize, but the laughs come fast and furious, and really aren't
concerned if you are offended or not. So, check your thin skin at the door and
come for a chuckle and a guffaw and a belly-buster! Many have compared this to
Monty Python or the best of that whacky Peter Sellers. Take a look at what noted
film critic Leonard Maltin had to say about it:<BR></STRONG><FONT
face=Verdana>DEATH AT A FUNERAL<SPAN class=style6> — Some comedies depend on the
element of surprise. Classic farce depends on the element of expectation: you
get exactly what you think you’re going to get, only more so. A young
screenwriter named Dean Craig understands that credo and has fashioned a very
funny, quintessentially British farce, and Frank Oz has gotten every bit of
value in translating it to the screen. </SPAN>Moreover, as Oz related in a
recent interview, it’s essential that the actors don’t play it “funny.” They
have to be utterly sincere or the proceedings will become campy and tiresome.
Matthew McFadyen, Alan Tudyk, Peter Dinklage and the other performers here hit
just the right note as the chaos of a dysfunctional-family funeral grows and
grows and grows. </FONT><FONT face=Verdana><EM>Death at a Funeral</EM> is highly
enjoyable entertainment of a kind you might have thought extinct in the world of
gross-out comedy. Thank goodness some traditions have survived. --Leonard

face=Arial><U>A:</U> <FONT size=2>The answer to this is so technical and boring,
I couldn't begin to simplify it or make it more exciting. Basically, it is
because the Twins were built of a more modern standard, unlike the 91 year-old
Avon, and utilize just one projector per screen. Cartoons are made in a "flat"
ratio, and thus necessitate a lens change if the movie is in the "scope" ratio.
In the old Avon, there are three projectors crammed into that little booth, and,
sometimes a show you see will use all three of them! There have been times the
cartoon was on one, the previews on another, and the feature on still another!
We can't do that in the Twins.</FONT></FONT></STRONG></SPAN></FONT></FONT></P>

We played WAITRESS for 4 weeks, and still there were many of you art & indy
film fans who never made it down to see it! We played the highly-acclaimed Irish
musical titled ONCE, and the turn-out was poor at best. If you want to see
more of these type of films, <U>you need to support them</U>! This week, we are
playing the hilarious British comedy DEATH AT A FUNERAL, and I am betting there
won't be much business for it. So, what is the answer? You want art & indy
films, yet you don't come when we do play them?? And don't even get me started
on the Foreign films! We have played some of the finest foreign films ever made
in the past several years, and yet they are NEVER successful for us! I put a
moratorium on foreign films about 6 months ago when THE LIVES OF OTHERS, the

<FONT size=2>This has been a perplexing problem ever since we opened the Twins

If it is on the BIG Avon main marquee, <U>it is in there</U>. If it is not, then
it is playing in the Twins. Additionally, there is a smaller marquee, <EM>that I
was over-charged $17,000 for</EM>, that is for Twins films ONLY. It is mounted
on the building directly South of the Avon main marquee. Moreover, the FRONT of
the Avon main marquee also lists what is in the Twins, and, there is usually a
