It is movie night tonight at the George Price Centre for Peace and Development:

"The Shipping News"
Directed by Lasse Hallstrom

Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by E. Annie Proulx

With Kevin Spacey, Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett and Julianne Moore!

In a fishing port set in the Canadian province of Newfoundland, newspaper journalist Quoyle, his young daughter Bunny, and his stern aunt Agnis Hamm have reclaimed their ancestral home, which stood vacant for 40 years perched over the raging sea on the edge of a cliff. The fresh air and the mundane routine of the sleepy village act as a balm for Quoyle's wounds. Having grown up with unhappy parents who cautioned him that he'd never amount to anything, Quoyle thought he'd finally found a stroke of luck when he fell in love with Petal. However, after Petal's sudden death, and the simultaneous passing of his loveless parents, Quoyle's migration from downtrodden Poughkeepsie, N.Y. to coastal Canada is his salvation. As Quoyle gains confidence and pride daily through his coworkers at the tiny newspaper the Gammy Bird, through his friendship with Wavey, and through his reconciliation with some spooky family secrets from the distant past, Quoyle, Bunny, and Agnis slowly find new direction, new hope, and the beginnings of a new life.
