We are shaking off the September doldrums as we enter the final quarter of
the year. It seems like yesterday that "Miracle" played at the Eagle, but it
was nearly five years ago. Time sure flies when you deeply in debt!
The Heartbreak
Kid opens Friday, and we always enjoy a good Ben Stiller comedy. In
the vernacular of
"Variety" magazine, he did boffo box office last Christmas with "Night at
the Museum." We would love to show another $250 million picture, but the "R"
rating is going to slow it down a bit. It's also a Farrelly Brothers movie,
which gives off its own distinctive vibe. My guess is that you are either
going to love this movie or hate it, but the popcorn will still taste good
either way.

The Seeker
might just as easily be called "The Sleeper," because this is a movie that
could do really, really well if word of mouth is good. It's based on a
Newberry award winning novel, and it is rated PG, so most of the family can
go see it. Why not be the first on your block to see it?

Resident Evil: Extinction is the third new movie that is making its
Eagle premiere this weekend. It is in its third week of national release,
and was number one its opening weekend. We're expecting good things from it,
but hope always springs eternally from the owner, doesn't it?
Go on out to the Heath festival or the Wabash Valley Wine and Arts fest, and
then stop in and watch a movie. There's a snap in the air and the movies are
getting better.
