<FONT size=2>Critics are calling this one of the best dramas of the year, and a
real knock-out of performances from not only Casey Affleck, but masterful
direction by his brother, Ben. A superb cast headed by Ed Harris and Morgan
Freeman, lend much tension to this Boston-based story of a kidnapped child. This
is adapted from the book by Dennis Lehane, who is the author of
"Mystic River", and is said to be Ben Affleck's favorite novel. There is a lot
of "Oscar Buzz" swirling around this one!</FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4><FONT face=Georgia><U>ELIZABETH--THE GOLDEN AGE
</U><FONT size=2>(PG13) Now we go into week #2 of this excellent epic film of
the days when Spain threatened to conquer Britain, and Queen Elizabeth I was
bound and determined they would not succeed. Astounding actress Cate Blanchett
reprises her role from the original 1999 film (and there is said to someday be
yet a 3rd film that will take us to the end of Elizabeth's life). Clive Owen is
here as well as Sir Walter Raleigh. The costumes and sets are awesome, and it is
indeed a wonderful and absorbing film.<BR></FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG><FONT

CLAYTON</U></STRONG> <STRONG><FONT size=2>(R) Unless you've been living on
the moon this past week, you have probably already heard what a knock-out of a
movie this one is! Our "exit polls" have been 100% positive, and the national
reviews have all been in the highest range. George Clooney heads a fine cast
including Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton and Sydney Pollack. If you like legal
thrillers, or just plain, intelligent, well-plotted intrigue; this is for
YOU!<BR></FONT></STRONG></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG><U>MICHAEL

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>Last Friday and Saturday's MIDNIGHT
performances of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW exceeded all expectations to
become one of the <U>biggest </U>events in Avon history! </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>The Friday Midnight show was in line with
past years at an attendance of almost 400, but <EM>Saturday</EM> came in at a
whopping OVER 600!! <EM>(Yes, you read that
right).</EM></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>If you can imagine over 600 people all
dressed outlandishly and all doing the "TimeWarp", while the music was blasting
and the building was rockin', you can only imagine a <EM>fraction</EM> of how
cool it all was!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>Special Thanks to the Avon's staff who
worked long and tirelessly until 3 AM, and to the extra helpers: My
good buddy Jill Bergin, and my sister-in-law from Nevada, Patty Burke, my
Nevada nephew Dustin, author Troy Taylor and his son, Orrin, and the incredible
Millikin Shadow Cast who performed on the stage simultaneously with the
movie...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>Of course, the thanks would not be complete
without mentioning my wife and daughter, Susan and Melissa, who not only had a
lot of fun, but kept a close eye on all aspects of the operation. <EM><FONT
color=#ff0000 size=2>(No shenanigans got past those two! Those "McTheaters"
could learn a lesson in how to control their unruly crowds from those
two!)</FONT></EM></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>We are hoping to do it <EM>one more
time</EM> on Saturday, Oct. 27th at 10:30 instead of Midnight, but we do not
know for sure yet!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>Obviously, IF we DO decide we can do it
again on the 27th, you will be the FIRST to know!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial
size=2>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR><FONT
color=#0000ff size=3>NOTE: Due to a scheduling conflict that can not be
resolved, we have to cancel our "Kid's Club" Halloween Cartoon show on Saturday,
Oct. 27th.</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=3>We do plan to revive Kid's
Club in a <EM>new and improved</EM> format, but look for us to do so for the
upcoming
Holidays!<BR>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
