Greenfingers | Adaptation

Dear Movie Mainers,    Here we are already into the month of July,  I have gardening on my mind.    In New England the gardening season is short, and there is nothing more beautiful to me then flowers blooming with a green green grass.   He are two films I hope you enjoy, one about gardeners and the other about a particular flower, an orchid .     

Green Fingers    2000 a film starring Clive Owen (isn't he cute ? I am a sucker for that English accent )   and Helen Mirren.   It is a story loosely based on a story of Prisoners (not serious criminals )  who enter a garden contest in the Cotswold England.   I would put this film in a charming little  story, predictable but the acotrs make it great. 

Adaptation 2002 comedy drama starring Meryl Streep, Nicholas Cage and Chris Cooper.  This film has sadness and comedy in it.   Roger Ebert considered this film one of his top movies to be in his great movie collection.   This story is about a man who has writers block and his twin brother and an orchid.   This would be a great film to show in a group.   I plan on being in Maine July 26 for about 10 days hope to see you all.   Your Movie Diva Movielynne
