TURNING GREEN (2005)
Turning Green is a coming of age story about two brothers growing up in Ireland in the care of their three oddball aunts. It’s the mid 1980’s and Dublin has banned pornography. So what’s a teenage boy, not to mention, men of all ages supposed to do with their time? The older brother comes up with a scheme to import some illicit magazines for local consumption and finally starts to make enough ‘green’ to get himself out of Ireland. But not before the local thugs take a piece of the action and a lot of his pride. If you like stories that are by turns humorous, heartbreaking and hopeful, then you’re sure to love Turning Green. – Ida W.
HALSTON (2019)
A stunning documentary about the legendary fashion designer, Halston.
The Fashion Icon – The Man – The Men – The Women – The Vampires – The Sixties – The Virus – The End.
Who needs fiction? – Susan C.
REAR WINDOW (1954)
A steaming hot summer in Greenwich Village and Hitchcock at his most devious; throw in Grace Kelly and James Stewart and a plot that brings out the peeping tom in each of us. But what takes this movie to another realm is Grace Kelly’s classic wardrobe by Edith Head. I would kill for her eau de nil Green suit with the white halter. Oh yes, pearls are optional! – Susan C.
