"grown-ups" out there!<BR></EM>JOHNNY DEPP is absolutely astounding in his
low-keyed and intense portrayal of the legendary '30's bank robber John
Dillinger, and CHRISTIAN BALE as G-Man Melvin Purvis, the guy who obsessed
about, and finally put and end to Dillinger, adds another whole element of
texture to the film. One of my favorite directors, Michael Mann, really did
himself proud with this, and also made some daring decisions in the manner it
was filmed too. Eschewing the traditional Hollywood type of photography, Mann
elected to make this more of a documentary "you are there" type of presentation,
and it works! Some of the gunplay and shootouts are so immediate and involving,
you are tempted to duck the bullets in the theater!<BR>By the way, this is rated
"R" only for some tommygun shootings that are really not all that bloody.
There is no overt sex or nudity for those of you who worry about such with an
"R" rating.</FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>

KEEPER</U> (PG13) <FONT size=3>CAMERON DIAZ shows she can really
stretch beyond romantic comedy or cutie-pie roles, as a Mom with a daughter who
is afflicted with cancer. ABIGAIL BRESLIN, who stole our hearts as "Little Miss
Sunshine" is the OTHER daughter, who has to make a difficult decision about her
sister...hence, the title! This is from a book that many of you have read
recently, and, yes, it is a "three hanky" movie, but ultimately uplifting as
well! Don't miss it!</FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG><BR><FONT size=2

STRAIGHT TALK FROM THE SKIPSTER:</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting"><STRONG><FONT size=3
face=Verdana>The time is coming soon when we will start
to present more of the "Avon movies" you have all missed so
much!<BR>Starting next week with the wonderful "The Great Buck Howard", and
the week after that with "Easy Virtue", we start to get back to our roots with
the type of movies we have not concentrated on in quite a
while.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3 face=Verdana>Is this a reaction to the current
tendency of Hollywood to ignore the "grown ups" and cater only to
the mall/multiplex crowd?<BR>Maybe.<BR>Or, maybe it is in realizing what
makes the Avon unique is our ability to play things that need "nurturing" and
are not just the overly-touted "flavor of the week"?<BR><BR>It is often observed
that what works at other theaters, will sometime not work at the Avon, and
VICE-VERSA!<BR>The Avon's crowd is <U>more discerning</U>, and <U>less tolerant
of the disposable fluff that is being force-fed into theaters across the</U>
<U>land.</U></FONT></STRONG></DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Verdana>
<DIV><FONT size=3>After all, The Avon was resurrected out of a desperate desire
to be an "alternative" venue, so why not embrace that once again?<BR>The key
will be YOU.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>YOU need to get out and support these alternative art &
indy films we are bringing in so we can see this direction was the correct
one!</FONT></DIV>
