LIFE IN RUINS</U> (PG13)<FONT size=3> It was 7 years ago this summer that we
made history at the Avon Theater with a little, and not-so-hotly reviewed movie
called <FONT size=4>"My Big Fat Greek Wedding".</FONT> Those of you who were
there and remember, can attest to the lines around the block for 13 weeks
straight. The "other guys" had messed up badly and not had any confidence in the
viability of the movie, choosing to play all their vapid mall fodder
<U>instead</U>...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><STRONG>That gave the Avon the Decatur-area EXCLUSIVE on
it!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><STRONG>Well, lightning struck!! BIG
TIME!!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><STRONG>"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" became a genuine show-biz
phenomenon, and made more money than most all the insipid teenage mall
movies that summer!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><STRONG>Now, we have the new "Big Fat Greek" movie with the
star herself, the appealing <FONT size=4>NIA
VARDALOS</FONT>.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><STRONG>This time 'round she is a tour guide in Greece, and
you can expect big laughs and incredible scenery!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

have to be so choosy when we only have 3 screens to work with) but then I
