surprising development that demonstrates genuine integrity and
consideration on their part, WARNER BROS. <EM>(with the no-foolin' input of
Clint Eastwood himself!)</EM> has decided THE AVON THEATER is the most worthy
theater in the Decatur and surrounding area to play "J. EDGAR", the Leonardo
DiCaprio-starring film about the life of FBI Director and enigmatic power-broker
J. Edgar
Hoover. </STRONG></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>This film has already received rave reviews from
some of the greatest film critics in the world, including Roger Ebert who gave
it THREE-and-a-HALF stars in today's Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper who
called it "One of the Best Films of 2011" and countless others calling
DiCaprio's performance, which spans 50 years in Hoover's life, as "Oscar
worthy". <EM>Even the usually snarky Decatur Herald & Review gave it THREE
stars with a glowing review in today's edition!<BR><BR>No matter how the "other
guys" might try and "spin" this, it was <U>WARNER BROS choice</U> where J. EDGAR
played in this area!<BR><BR></EM>It takes no venue talent whatsoever to
screen the mall and multiplex tripe that oozes into the majority of the nation's
faceless theaters every week, but when there is a theater like THE AVON
present in any community, the films with gravitas that appeal to the
more discerning and mature move-goer, are showcased best only by
us!<BR><EM><U>(Some</U> of the studios actually care about things like
this, and we applaud Warner Bros for being one of
them! )<BR></EM> </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
