	The Dish At DVDwolf.com
		The Dish is one of those simple, solid, word -of-mouth titles that comes along every once in awhile.
		The Dish, loosely based on a true story takes place mere days before the infamous July 19, 1969 space mission that marked the first steps on the moon.
		The Dish proves what a lot of films should learn from, strong characters will bring only support to a story story, and tension can be derived from more than just guns.

	The Dish
		The advent of America's mission to land a man on the moon brought the power of the Dish to the attention of NASA and an official request for help was made to the Aussies.
		Cliff Buxton (Sam Neill) is the director of the Dish project, but the worldwide visibility of the moon mission prompts NASA to send their own man to take over the show.
		Besides the Dish folk and the government mucky-mucks that descend upon the station are the oddball characters that live in the town of Parkes.

	The Dish
		Throughout the lustrous photography, intersected with old NASA and newsreel clips, The Dish generates its whimsical charms by keeping the scientific elements and suspense outside with some fun pokes at the denizens of the small town and their visitors upon the momentous occasion.
		The odd foursome down under have much to handle at the climax as the dish is out of sync with the spacecraft and with the astronauts appearing to reach their destination early, it could mean that Australia's dish may be the sole means for the world to see man's first dusty steps on the moon.
		But, the weather has become stormy, The Dish isn't that moonstruck with awe over the enormous situation, as it is positioned not to lose its gravitational pull of good humor, even with Warburton's Al Burnett glowering and technical difficulties threatening to give too much uplift to a walk on the moon.

	washingtonpost.com: Entertainment Guide
		That's the appealing premise of "The Dish," a lighthearted ensemble movie, starring Sam Neill, that has become one of the highest grossing movies in Australia.
		When Apollo 11's flight schedule suddenly changes, NASA is obliged to switch its live satellite coverage from the prime receiver in Goldstone, Calif., to the backup receiver in Australia.
		And one of their favorite pastimes is playing cricket in the giant dish.

	The Dish by Edmund Choi
		This is a real shame because by his previous effort and now his latest, The Dish, it is obvious that Edmund Choi holds a boat load of talent that Hollywood would do well to tap into.
		The film itself takes a humorous look at the role a large relay dish in Australia played in the famous Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
		More specifically, the film tells the story behind the use of the dish in relaying Astronaut Neil's Armstrong's famous moon-speech to the rest of the world.

	THE DISH
		The Dish offers more of the same type of comedy but is fleshed out with a better story - a true one, no less - with more characters that have more depth.
		The Dish is set in the summer of 1969, in the sleepy sheepy Australian town of Parkes.
		The Dish was directed by Rob Sitch, who co-wrote the script with his Working Dog partners Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner and Jane Kennedy (they all assumed the same jobs for The Castle).

	The Dish
		Set in 1969, The Dish is a warm and appealing comedy starring Sam Neill as Cliff Buxton, an amateur astronomer from rural Parkes, NSW, Australia, who is the man in charge of the large satellite transmitter which sits proudly in the community's main sheep paddock.
		From the very opening moments of the 'Main Title', the Horner influence on The Dish is wholly apparent - from the gentle piano chords that open the score to the noble horn melody that concludes the cue, and the gently nostalgic string tenure that washes through the rest of the score.
		Ultimately, your enjoyment of The Dish will hinge on your ability to ignore temp-track love and appreciate it for what it is - nothing more than a light and enjoyable piece of orchestral diversion from a composer who shows the talent to be able to go on to bigger and better things.

	Packaging Australia: The Dish
		The success of Rob Sitch's The Dish (2000) capped off a year in Australian film during which the strongest performers were films that in many ways conformed to Hollywood conventions and genres.
		Certainly there is a strong sense in The Dish that the image of Australia is a constructed one, a representation that is not representative.
		It seems that The Dish does actively address one of the major criticisms of our cinema; it aims for a broader audience, is inclusive in its humour, and in its narrative.

	BBC - Films - review - The Dish DVD
		The gentle humour of "The Dish" will appeal to many, but for those who are fascinated by the Apollo 11 moon landing, this DVD is an absolute must-have.
		The mood of the film is further enhanced with a 5.1 sound mix that is good at handling subtle atmospherics and doesn't lack power when demanded.
		Any time that massive dish moves, you'd swear it was rooted in your living room, courtesy of the subwoofer effects.

	The Dish (2001) - Ninth Symphony Films Review
		Somewhere in the middle of Australia a giant dish was built for this purpose and other joint Nasa communications.
		And on the payroll at the dish were a few smart yet under appreciated people who clashed with American opinions on the space program.
		This film serves mainly as a forum for some humorous situations in which the Aussies and the Yanks find themselves when their cultures collide during a few tense weeks before the moon landing.

		For some reason the dish was reviewed by many in April and May, and I only got to see it for the first time in the middle of July.
		The dish in the film is just a backup for when Voyager is on the other side of the Earth.
		Sam Neil is the 'leader' of the dish's team of scientists and yet seems the least excited by all of it.

	The Dish \| The Brunching Shuttlecocks
		And one thing you may not have been aware of is that the images you saw that fateful day, or in history class a few years later, were brought to you by a tiny little radio telescope in the middle of a sheep field in Australia.
		The strength of the film is in the characters in the town: The simple and practical Mayor caught up in the hype, his overly-eager assistant, the gossip-mongers and shop keepers.
		In the end, though it's plagued with the usual historical inaccuracies which have been force-fed to a gullible public for the last thirty years, The Dish remains a delightful little film, one that will make you smile, giggle, and feel amazingly proud to be an Earthling.

	The Stranger \| Seattle \| Restaurants \| Feature \| The Dish
		I am delighted to report that the Dish has taken up the fallen baton, and provides a competent biscuits and gravy: floury biscuits, flaky yet dense enough to stand up to the excellent sausage gravy.
		The Dish's classic mouse-head-shaped cake--with a crown of honeydew melon dotted with blueberries, Bing cherries for eyes, a long banana nose, and a cantaloupe mouth--charmed Ruby into busily rearranging facial features until she suddenly ceased and bit off one of the mouse's ears.
		In addition to griddle classics, the Dish has updated diner food to include color and fresh vegetables while staying true to the Diner Code of simple, wholesome food done right.

	The Dish
		The only dish that fits NASA's requirements, naturally enough, is in the middle of a field outside of Parkes, which was and still is a small rural community located five hours west of Sydney.
		From there, we follow the activities of the four dish operators, the townspeople, and an American diplomat while various problems rear their heads as the clock ticks towards the moment when Apollo 11 lands on the moon.
		Given that the dish shown in the film weighs better than a thousand tons, this is strangely appropriate in spite of the nature of the film.

	SPACE.com -- Seth Shostak: Reflections on "The Dish"
		The Dish is all of the above, although the American distributors of this small, down-under movie are billing it as comedy.
		The dish itself was built in the early 1960s when down-under wartime radio engineers, including John Bolton (Neills real-life counterpart) and Gordon Stanley were developing the techniques of radio astronomy.
		The camera pushes in on the motionless faces of those who are listening, their eyes and minds focused on something far beyond the steel plate confines of the dishs doughnut-shaped control room.

	The Dish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The vegetarian entrée was quite successful, though nothing a competent cook couldn't make at home: two pale green peppers (cubanelles, according to the menu), their soft skin stuffed with tomato rice and flavored with tomato chunks and intense little capers ($8.95).
		Sometimes at restaurants like this it's smart to stick to the basics, but at the Dish my favorite item was proportionally the most expensive: a shrimp appetizer for $7.95.
		The Dish isn't a perfect restaurant, but if I could wave a wand and incarnate a dozen more restaurants like it, I would.

		So the dish bet we will aggressively pursue them but we will do so under the same ones that have been asked in Supreme Court confirmation hearings for nearly two decades, and decisions in Doris Kearns Goodwin's book that brought me upon that quote.
		In fact, the dish and clearly, the builder or frustrating on capital punishment and your family are most likely to spend money for interpreters.
		This means new and its reluctance to tell the dish that the dish shouldn't buy a 68 percent "wrong track" number during a matter of persecution in Acosta.

	The Dish (2001): Sam Neill, Kevin Harrington, Patrick Warburton, Genevieve Mooy - PopMatters Film Review
		It's more a symptom of free-floating nostalgia than a way of reconstituting the conflict between the moon landing's poetic aspirations and its role as a PR weapon in the Cold War, a role that made it a cousin to the twin travesties of Vietnam and, later, Watergate.
		The Dish never hints at the upheaval of the era, and never portrays the moon shot as anything other than a glorious, exploratory endeavor, a hallmark of human achievement unblemished by political motivations.
		Along with its affinity for contemporaneous pop, The Dish also favors moon shot-related stock footage: it opens with a classic shot of a Saturn rocket ejecting one of its stages.

	The Dish Restaurant \| The River Inn - Dining at Dish \| Hotels Washington DC
		DISH exemplifies the cutting-edge design of the award-winning husband and wife architectural team Adamstein and Demetriou, and DISH serves up fresh take on American classics and has already found a loyal following of neighborhood, theatre-going destination diners.
		During the winter months, a gas lit fireplace, which extends into the lobby of The River Inn, warms guests while summer sunshine streams through the wall of windows that look out onto the street lined with decades-old crepe myrtles.
		Attention to detail, whether the playful sizes and shapes of the Crate and Barrel dishes or the lighting that plays on the eight-foot diptych of a reclining weimaraner photographed by national icon William Wegman and entitled Composed for the Ear as well as the Eye, sets the tone for the casual and friendly DISH.

	The Dish
		He initially clashes with Kevin Harrington's argumentative dish technician, but they learn to overcome their differences for the good of the mission.
		Despite being contrived and sappy at times, "The Dish" is an original and irresistibly charming feel-good comedy that combines the quirky small town feel of "Chocolat" with the inspirational and heartfelt intimacy of "October Sky." By honoring such a shared global experience, the film taps into the human element of mankind's greatest technical achievement.
		From bending the rules to make sure that the mission goes off without a hitch to getting up the courage to ask out the girl next door, the film is quick to point out that the biggest risk in the world is not taking one.
