size=4><U>ANGELS & DEMONS</U> (PG13)</FONT><FONT size=3> I remember
when I first read Dan Brown's ultra-popular page-turner "The DaVinci Code",
everybody who was familiar with Brown's books told me that the "other"
book, "Angels & Demons", was the superior one!<BR><EM>I couldn't see how
that could possibly be
true.</EM></FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>"The DaVinci Code" was one of the coolest books I had
read in a long time.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3> It would have to go a long way to best
it!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>Then, I read "Angels &
Demons"...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=3>Well, OK!! I see what they
meant!</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>So, when the "DaVinci Code" movie came out, I was one
of those who would say "It wasn't as good as the book!"</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3><EM>(Here's a tip: Hardly any movie ever is as good as
the book!)</EM></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>NOW... here comes the movie of
"Angels & Demons", and they have done something about <FONT size=4>TOM
HANKS'</FONT> hair this time too!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4><FONT size=3>Basically, we have all the ingredients of
a good thriller, minus the huge controversy from the
church!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4><FONT size=3><EM>(Yes, there still is "some"
controversy, but it is not enough to start picketing the theaters
over!)<BR></EM>This really marks the <U>real start</U> of the Summer movie
season, folks!<BR>And this is one of them that has mammoth appeal to
the "Avon crowd" too!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>

it!</DIV></FONT></FONT></STRONG>

wonderful film in the same vein as past Avon hits like WINGED MIGRATION and
MARCH OF THE PENGUINS.<BR>This is the ONLY "family friendly" movie out right now
until next week's 'Night at the Museum 2", and here is a great way to educate

<DIV><BR>What we do at the Avon is not an easy thing, in fact it is very,
<U>very</U> difficult and stressful...</DIV>
<DIV>Y'see, we were NOT supposed to last 10 years!</DIV>
<DIV><EM>-We weren't supposed to last 6 months!</EM></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>(And some of our enemies wish we had not lasted 6
MINUTES!)</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>BUT, we start our 11th Summer proud and grateful for all of
<U>your</U> support!</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>You know the 'corn if always popped and the (real) butter bubbling for you
at your "hometown" theater!!</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>And, by the way, in October the Avon Twins annex is FIVE YEARS
OLD!<BR>...AND...in November, the Avon itself is, <EM>ready?....</EM>93 YEARS
