Movie Title: Uncle Jack and the Dark Side of the Moon (1992)
Movie Plot Summary: This show is more of a soap opera than a TV series. The two families are the Webbers and the Grices. They don’t get along. This show is based on two real life families. Some characters (like Jeff Grice) are played by their own selves!

Movie Title: On Top Down Under (2000)
Movie Plot Summary: On Top – Iceland, a lighthouse, a cold winter evening. Her thoughts drift back to that summer … to bathing in the hot springs … to when they first met … and embraced. Down Under – Australia, the desert, a blistering heat wave. His pickup stops at an icehouse … he lays the blocks neatly on the buckboard … and drives off haunted by a aching memory. Without dialogue or comment, save for verses from a sonnet by John Keats, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson links the thoughts, the emotions, the sensual longing of young lovers at opposite ends of the world. A tone poem, a collage of sight and sound.
