guess all of you were a'hankerin' for a good western, because you made the Avon
the #1 grossing screen in Decatur last weekend! I know that you Western fans
have specific ideas as to what constitutes a "good" western, and, pardner, this
fills the bill! <EM>It's not just a "shoot 'em up"
either!</EM></FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>

LIES</U> (R) </FONT><FONT size=3>The movie critics are buzzing all over the
internet and other media as to how this film is the 9th straight middle-eastern
based movie to flop. They say the public is so sick and tired of hearing about
that part of the world, they are shunning all movies that have the slightest
bent toward that...</FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><U>I don't think that is fair to this film.<BR></U>When you
have A-list stars like <FONT size=4>RUSSELL CROWE</FONT> and <FONT
size=4>LEONARDO DiCAPRIO</FONT> and a top-notch director like RIDLEY SCOTT, that
should transcend all of the bugaboos about Iraq and the war on terror that
Hollywood says you are all so sick and tired of.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT size=4>BODY OF LIES</FONT> is a THRILLER, and the fact
it is set in the current middle-eastern conflict should not deter you in the

are over 1,000 signatures and counting!<BR><BR><EM>This will only be
