In following church doctrine, she was forced to sign a contract that wouldn't allow for any sort of inquiry into the son's whereabouts. After starting a family years later in England and, for the most part, moving on with her life, Lee meets Sixsmith (Coogan), a BBC reporter with whom she decides to discover her long-lost son.Canadian Home Video Rating: PG.DVD, widescreen presentation; Dolby Digital.- Subjects: Lee, Philomena; Sixsmith, Martin.; Feature films.; Illegitimate children; Journalists; Mothers and sons; Teenage mothers;

- The making of another major motion picture masterpiece / by Hanks, Tom,author.; Sikoryak, R.,illustrator.;
"From the Academy Award-winning actor and best-selling author: his debut novel. The story of the making of a colossal, star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film ... and the humble comic book that inspired it. PART ONE of this story takes place in 1947. A troubled soldier, returning from the war, meets his talented five-year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression, and then disappears for 23 years. Cut to 1970: The nephew, now drawing underground comic books in Oakland, California, reconnects with his uncle and, remembering the comic book he saw when he was five, draws a new version with his uncle as a World War II fighting hero. Cut to the present day: A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie. Cue the cast: We meet the film's extremely difficult male star, his wonderful leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, the producer, the go-fer production assistant, and everyone else on both sides of the camera. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, this is a novel not only about the making of a movie, but also about the changes in America and American culture since World War II. Bonus material: Interspersed throughout are the three comic books that are featured in the story - all created by Hanks himself - including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel's 'major motion picture masterpiece.'"--- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Psychological fiction.; Novels.; Comic books, strips, etc.; Motion pictures; Superhero films;

- The solitary friend / by Bowen, Gail,1942-author.;
"Crime Writers Grand Master Award winner and the "queen of Canadian crime fiction" (Winnipeg Free Press) returns with the 23rd, and penultimate, installment in the Joanne Kilbourn series. Amateur sleuth Joanne Shreve finds herself caught in the middle when her friend Vera Wang, the owner of a discreet escort service, The Right Woman, calls in a favor. Howard Dowhanuik, another long-time friend of Joanne's and the former premier of Saskatchewan, has been a loyal client for years. That is until he started badgering Vera's employees, trying to discourage them from performing their "meaningless" work. Given his recent verbal attacks against any and all opponents on his podcast, Joanne knows his erratic behavior must be part of a larger issue. Can Joanne talk Howard down and make him see sense before he goes too far? To complicate matters, the release of scandalous photos with threatening demands targets both Howard and Calista Wallace. Having quit the escort service, Calista is now engaged to Noah Wainberg, a close member of Joanne's inner circle, but the past could put their future together in jeopardy. Is this hate mail from a heartbroken ex-client or a disgruntled listener of Howard's podcast? Or worse, could the culprit be someone closer to home? With her loved ones' happiness -- and their very lives -- at stake, Joanne races to find the source of the mysterious messages before they make good on their menacing ultimatum."--- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Novels.; Extortion; Escort services; Friendship; Kilbourn, Joanne (Fictitious character); Podcasters; Threats;
