Movie icon Burt Reynolds tragically passed away last week at the age of 82. And while hopefully all of you paid dutiful tribute to the Hollywood wild man and charismatic superstar by toasting his naked-on-a-bear-rug glory at The Safe House or Snack Boys, it only seems fitting to give him a goodbye on the big screen as well.
The Avalon Theater apparently agrees, as the Bay View cinema will host a special screening of Burt Reynolds' most iconic film, 1977's "Smokey and the Bandit" on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the screening are only $5. For more information on the film and other screenings at the Avalon, visit the theater's website.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
