COMEDY THE DISH (12) 101 mins 00..
This delightful Australian comedy is directed by Rob Sitch. who has assembled a similar team to that of his previous film, The Cast/e. The film tells the story of the role of the hick bush town of Parkes in the historic Apollo i 1 mission of 1969. Here. a radio telescope dish relayed the telly pictures of the moonwalk to the world. The Dish comments on cultural divides between the US and its satellite states wrth otrret. dry humour comprehenSrble to other such service states as Britain. Sam Neill leads well as the boss of the radio dish, negotiating the complex iSSues of his co- workers with their big- shot NASA Overseers with elegaic sinipliCrty. Funny. and gently beautiful.

THE LIMEY Channel 4, Mon 5 Nov, 10.35pm 0000
Steven Soderbergn made
this thriller between Out Of Sight and Erin Brockovrch. and it's an unashamed homage to
608 and 708 British crime
films. Think Performance. think Get Carter. like the films of that era. The erey mixes bruta
realism with arty aesthetic
with Soderbergh reall, nailing his homage. However. a lot of Viewers found the title character — ageing Cockney hard-nut \"".’:Isoi‘ (played by Terence Stamp) — off-putting arxl too much of a caricature. The set-up has Wilson taking a trip to los Angeles to avenge his daughter's death. Hrs dealings with Hispanic thugs. the West Coast criminal elite and FBI agents prompt Wilson to reson not Just to some serious GBH. but also to rhyming slang. In terms of style. the fractured. non- chronologrcal editing works like a dream. getting right inside Wilson's head. But Soderbergh's real coup :; casting two cinematic icons. Stamp and. as the villain. none other than Captain America rriniser‘. Peter Fonda. (Miles Fielder)
