Peter T, the film about the guy with the house at the end of the runway is called "The Castle" and was a huge hit down here. It was shot in about 2 or 3 weeks for about half a million dollars (yes, Australian!) and took over $8 million at the box office in this country - quite a feat with such a small market. I saw it before it was released and predicted big things for it, but did wonder if it would travel. It certainly does have rough edges (as you'd imagine given how long it took to make) but for Australians I think the characters are so identifiable that the humour works against this and is possibly even served by it. Oops, hang on! I'm actually saying NICE things about a film - here of all places! Oh, well, I'm sure there'd be plenty out there who'd howl me down in protest! Drew
