Avon this week! This was the first time in our 10 years of re-birth we have been
playing a "Best Picture" Oscar Winner at the <U>same time as it won</U>!
</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><EM>BUT...it gets even BETTER...</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is <U>EXCLUSIVE</U> to THE

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>That means those "other guys" <U>DO NOT HAVE
IT</U>!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=3>We have come a long way since 10 years ago
when we were only given "6 months at best", by some of Decatur's
<EM>all-knowing, all-seeing</EM> "business prognosticators"!! <EM>(You know who
you are! Nyyyahhhh!!)<BR></EM>See SLUMDOG now before it leaves! In fact, we are
moving it BACK to the big main theater for this, possibly last,
week!<STRONG><FONT

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=4><U>TELL NO ONE</U> (R) <FONT size=3>Are
you ready for a movie that would have made HITCHCOCK proud? <BR>This French
mystery/thriller will knock you right out of your seat! It has such a serpentine
plot, you will wonder if you can even trust the person you came with to not be
the murderer!!</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>For those of you who ask for more Foreign films,
<U>this is your chance to prove to me that they are viable</U>!<BR><EM>It is
very unfortunate that so many people do not realize the excellent movies
they miss because of their aversion to subtitles!</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>This is a superb example of a movie that will
undoubtedly get re-made by Hollywood, <U>and they will blow it completely</U>
(like they have with so many Foreign films that have been remade in the
past!)</FONT></DIV>

<FONT size=3>No one expected this movie to be <U>so</U> good!!<BR>That's right,
Tom Cruise's career has been a little, uh, "checkered" over recent years,
and, when you consider this is the true story of a WWII plot to assassinate
Adolph Hitler, well, we all know how <U>that</U> turned out,
right?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>This is still a breath-taking and thrilling film,
and was so good that many of our customers asked us to bring it
back!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><EM>(It played at the "other guys" over Christmas,
and many of you missed it for various reasons...)</EM></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>Maybe no one realized it was a REAL <EM>"movie-movie"</EM> and
not just two guys talking; maybe hardly anyone knew who "Frost" or "Nixon" was;
maybe the whole concept of this fabulous movie got lost on all but those who
care about history---I don't know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>--The studio is trying to figure it out too!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>What I DO know is this: The customers at THE AVON are a "cut
above" the standard movie audiences, and I am going to keep FROST/NIXON for ONE
MORE WEEKEND to give you a chance to see this extraordinary and engrossing
film!</FONT></DIV>
