“The Dish”
Another lovely, little movie from down under, The Dish is the true story of the radar dish in Australia that received the signal for the broadcast of the first moonwalk. And how things almost went very wrong. Sam Neil leads a wonderful cast of eccentric, but not stereotype, characters in a small town thrust into world importance. You cannot dislike this film..it’s just too sweet (but not sicky sweet!). Rated PG-13.
“Eagle vs. Shark”
Eagle vs. Shark is the movie that made me finally follow through with my idea to post my own movie reviews. We watched this small, New Zealand film last night and just loved it. Great characters, simple story, wonderful writing, good camera work. This is a movie for anyone who has ever felt like a nerd, had unrequited love, or dealt with sibling rivalry. The writing is full of subtext, which I am always so impressed with. You love these people even as you laugh at what they do. This embodies what a little, quirky, independent movie should be. Rated R.
Intro to lizflix
I see movies of all types, from big studio productions to small independents. My opinions don’t always follow those of the general public; it will be up to you to decide if you like the types of films I do or not. If so, you can use these reviews to find something new and different to watch. If not, use it as a guide for movies to avoid. We subscribe to Netflix, which is about the only way you will have access to some of the smaller, more obscure movies I talk about. I hope this site helps you find a great movie you may have otherwise missed.
