what will be the BIGGEST movie of the Holiday
Season!</FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Georgia size=2>Last year I picked it with NIGHT AT THE
MUSEUM, but, this year it is tougher! I am really staring to think it will all
come down to THIS one or NATIONAL TREASURE-PART TWO!! Here we have a wonderful
frolic for all ages that has music and romance and comedy! I have heard a few of
the songs from this, and they sure have that "classic" Disney vibe! When you
come into the auditorium, listen to the music playing, and I think you will see
what I mean! Bring the whole family!! It IS in the BIG theater
too!!<BR></FONT></STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG><U><FONT

<FONT size=3>(PG) <FONT size=2>Well, aside from the fact that I have a real
affinity for Keri Russell (you wondered why WAITRESS played so long, huh?) when
I first saw the preview for this I was blown away! Y'see, as an old retired
professional musician myself, I really do believe there is a mystical connection
between all humans and music. It seems to be the universal language, and, yes,
it does seem at times to "soothe the savage breast". Keri Russell, Robin
Williams, John Rhys-Davis and little Freddie Highmore (whom you loved so much in
NEVERLAND) all come together to create a wonderful and fanciful feel-good movie
for the holidays! This was MY "personal pick" for Thanksgiving, and we passed on
some others just to play this! I hope you will support
it!</FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<FONT size=3>(PG) </FONT><FONT size=2>There's not much more I can say about this
Holiday romp with Vince Vaughn playing Santa's older, and wayward brother. It is
exactly what you expect in a Holiday movie, and that ain't bad, folks!
Oscar-nominee Paul Giamatti looks to be having a real blast playing Santa Claus,
and Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey as the ultimate "Scrooge-type" join Kathy Bates
and some cast surprises!</FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
