As a result of last night's snowstorm, we are cancelling the matinee showings of Avatar for Saturday, February 6, 2010. Unfortunately, our car is still snowed in and the side streets in Monaca, where we live, have not yet been cleared enough for us to get it out. As of right now we plan to have the evening shows, but that will depend on whether we can get out or not. If we need to cancel those also, I will update the web site.

Thank you for your patience and support. Stay warm and safe. Don't drive today unless you need to.

Edit: I've learned there is no where to park on Merchant Street. As a result, we are cancelling all shows for Saturday, February 6, 2010. We hope to see you Sunday.

You've heard about it. You may have seen it. Now, it's here. The week of February 5, 2010 - February 11, 2010 we are happy to be presenting the most popular movie of the past 10 years, Avatar.

In exchange for the surgery that will make his legs work, Jake agrees to gather intelligence for the military unit that is assisting the miners. He assumes a Na'vi identity through the use of an 'avatar' in order to infiltrate the Na'vi.

Jake begins to bond with the Na'vi and fall in love with Neytiri. Impatient, Colonel Quaritch, head of the military force, begins a plan to exterminate the natives. Jake is forced to choose between right, and his loyalty to his species as the battle for the fate of Pandora begins.
