...teenagers simply be wiped off of the face of the Earth during a mundane road trip through the Outback? Writer/director Greg McLean brings to the screen the “based on a true story” account of Sidney resident Ben (Nathan Phillips), and British tourists Liz (Cassandra Magrath) and Kristy (Kestie Morassi). Although the camera work is certainly appealing and the plot gripping, the movie ultimately seems like an Australian version of “The Blair Witch Project.” The movie kicks off with wild party footage like that of a teen comedy, but rapidly...

A show that found sympathetic humor in incidents that scream like headlines from a Mississippi tabloid: MAMA MAGRATH HANGS SELF AND PET CAT! LENNY MAGRATH'S HORSE STRUCK DEAD BY LIGHTNING! MEG MAGRATH VAMPS CRIPPLED EX-FLAME! BABE MAGRATH BOTRELLE SHOOTS HUSBAND " 'CAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE HIS LOOKS"! A family album of three contentious sisters who laugh and fight and cry and finally surrender to the bond of sororal love. Directed...
