Greenfingers





This is a hilarious flick elevated not only by Clive Owens' great acting demeanor and excellent good looks but even more so by the phenomenal theatrical dexterity of David Kelly (Waking Ned Devine). Helen Mirren plays a fantastic early English version of Martha Stewart, but with spicey attitude.

Netflix Review:
"A (green) thumbs-up for this affecting true-life tale about hardened con Colin Briggs (Clive Owen), who gets a new lease on life -- behind prison bars -- as an award winning gardener. Wonderful in support are David Kelly as a prisoner chum of Briggs' who coaches him out of his shell and Helen Mirren as a world class gardener who fears for her daughter when she falls for Briggs."

Kinky Boots


Kinky Boots (2005)

I've been engrossed in the idea of product innovation lately and came across this gem of a flick about the efforts of a shoe factory to survive after four generations of operation:

"After inheriting a shoe factory, Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton) aims to take the fashion world by storm with help from a cabaret dancer in htis whimsical comedy. Charlie risks it al when he hires sassy Lolo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to help design a facy line of women's styled boots for cross dressing men. But on the eve of the Milan Shoe Fair, just as he's about to introduce the world to his signature shoes, everything falls apart. Sarah Jane Potts and Jemima Rooper co-star." Rated - PG 13
