    The story line is more depressing though the acting quite good. There is nothing new except one experiences the differences of Aussie culture in terms of friendship and closeness which is a lot more open. The most difficult part is really going to be the rural accent for most, but if you have been to AU, there is no problem. It is a moving mood piece with some physically attractive types..Americans in films are really getting ugly. Spain reigns for looks and story lines.

    This was a different movie that I received. The title was Walk on Water, not Walking on Water. It was about an Israeli hit man that is after an old German Nazi. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

    Thank goodness Star Wars III came along and made things balance in my mind. Regardless, of country, we have a AIDS person dying with local Hospicee (GOD bless them) assistance. The patient is "shot" up with two massive doses of morphine and still doesn't die. For good measure let's suffocate him with a plastic bag. This is with a bedroom full of people. A new twist on justice. Never let it be said a story can't die in it's youth. Except for a few remoreful flashbacks we go into a wild all out sexual frenzy not seen since the Roman empire. Thank goodness the cat was spared, we think :-) Of course, the decesased was removed and he was spared also and we were spared a group getting into necrophilia. Australian's are a fantastic group of people but I believe the Hospice of New South Wales, where I've lived, should take flight with a law suit.
