I was reading a review on Dune Part 2 when I realized we did not have a page on Denis Villeneuve. As I was checking out his IMDb page, I realized for the first time, despite seeing three of his movies in theaters, that he directed the awesome 2010 movie Incendies. That movie made my Top 10 list that year. I actually recommend it more than the box office hits he has had since become known for. Incendies is a wonderful mystery story with a memorable twist. Still shocked I had not connected those dots….I guess the brain is getting older.
