Quick Hits:  Short Bursts on Recently Viewed Movies

​“Death is not the end of the story.  It is only the beginning.”  Incendies (Canada, 2010) tells the incredible story of twin brother & sister Jeanne (Melissa Desormmeaux-Poulin) & Simon (Maxim Gaudette) Marwan’s search to uncover their mother’s (Lubna Azabal) past.  After her death they are handed letters, one for a father they thought was dead & another for a brother they never knew, that lead them on a journey of discovery that will challenge not only their understanding of their mother, but of their own identities. Taking the twins to an unnamed Middle Eastern country torn by generational sectarian war, the journey uncovers the mystery of their mother’s strength & her solitude.  Told partially in flashback, showing the mother’s painful life, writer/director Denis Villenueve’s heart wrenching tale of war, sacrifice & redemption is both haunting and uplifting & will stay with the viewer long after the final credits end.

Top 10 Ava Gardner Films (Coming Soon)
Ava Gardner was simply one of the most beautiful women to ever appear on a movie screen. She was much more than just a pretty face, however, she was a talented actress.  From her breakout role in The Killers ('46) through her last great performance in Night of the Iguana ('64), Gardner personified Hollywood glamour.  She appeared opposite some of the greatest actors in Hollywood history, but was never overshadowed & quite often overshadowed bigger male stars.  She was also strong, outspoken & always her own person.

About Me:
​I've loved movies for as long as I can remember.   For the past 20 years, I've worked for several of the major studios, including MGM, Warner Bros. & 20th Century Fox  in their Home Entertainment divisions.  The 1930's is my favorite decade for movies and I'm really partial to pre-code & Film Noir.
