Always with humour and gore! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Jackson . Heavenly Creatures (1994) starred Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskie (2 and a half men) before they were famous. Melanie is a kiwi and it was probably her first role. The Frighteners (1996) starred Michael J Fox. It was set in Lyttleton, which is the small town that serves as the port for Christchurch city - almost right on the epicentre of the 2011 earthquake. His very first feature film was Bad Taste, made with the help of a few friends over 4 years, in the 1980s, after work and on weekends. This is a cute little doco about the "making of" Bad Taste: http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/good-taste-made-bad-taste-1988 Lissy.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791477164417270240noreply@blogger.com
