Yes, that's a good way to do it, I would just put the clean up calls
on another handler an call that one:

on startMovie ()
   if NOT(voidP(gDB)) then dbShutdown()
end startMovie

on stopMovie ()
   if NOT(voidP(gDB)) then dbShutdown()
end stopMovie

on dbShutdown ()
   gDB.CloseDatabase()
   gDB = VOID
   ValentinaShutdown()
end dbShutdown
