Eagle Theater
13 Kelli Ct., Clinton, IL 61727 (217) 935-7500

Dear Guests,

Murder and romance and angels, oh my!

You looking for murder? We offer The Lovely Bones, starring Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz. Seriously though, it is more about coming to terms with grief, and it is based on a popular book. We've had a number of requests for this film, and we are proud to make it available to you.

You looking for romance? We offer Dear John, a romantic drama featuring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried. Boy meets girl. Girl and boy fall in love. Boy goes off to war. Girl writes boy. Complications. We've simplifed the plot to resemble a pitch meeting in Hollywood, but you get the idea. Tearjerker.

You looking for angels (the mean kind)? In Legion, God isn't too happy, and an unlikely diner in the middle of nowhere becomes the place where mankind tries to survive.

Three new movies.

Two good leftovers... Tooth Fairy and Edge of Darkness return for another week. I've personally seen the Mel Gibson movie, Edge of Darkness, and it gets a pretty big thumbs up from me. I am planning to see Tooth Fairy

We do have other options, too.

P.S. Interesting fact of the week... Did you know that the social networking site Facebook is two days older than Eagle Theater? Facebook started on Feb. 4, 2004, just two days before the first movie was shown at our Robinson theater. For the record, the first movie shown at the Eagle was "The Miracle."
