Director Rubio Celebrated MERRINGTON (July 20)- Although Pedro Rubio retired from directing ten years ago, his award-winning films still influence today's cinema. Rubio's childhood home was near a movie house, where he fell in love with the art form. He saw several movies a week, sometimes watching the same movie multiple times. His extensive familiarity with a range of genres is apparent in his work. Titles range from the romantic Send Me Some Roses to the horror classic That House. Rubio retired from filmmaking at age 65 after almost 40 years of directing, but he has kept busy. Most recently, he has been working as a guest lecturer at the nearby Weberton Film School. Readers will be pleased to hear that our own Merrington Cinema will be showing Rubio's films throughout August. Whether you are a longtime fan or have never seen a Rubio film, you will surely enjoy this offering at Merrington Cinema. ===== https://www.merringtoncinema.com Home Schedule. Reviews.

It contained a lot of information about his work and life, including some surprising information about what he has been doing since he retired from filmmaking. The article also mentioned that Merrington Cinema would be showing his films. So I went to the cinema's Web site and saw the two-for-one deal. I thought this would be an excellent way to spend a Saturday, so I went! I saw two wonderful movies. One of the films I saw was new to me: it was about scientists on a mission in space. I loved it! For a movie fan like me, Merrington Cinema's promotion was perfect. I understand there will be a similar promotion for Meredeth Bui's films in October. I'll be sure to take advantage of great offers like this again. —Talia Pak
