Australia

Australia - Dvd (2008)
Well I had heard bad things. It was long, and the beginning 20 minutes were stupid. Nicole Kidman, actually I always kind of like you, but it seemed you were trying toooo hard in the first half of the movie and it came off as really false. Just like in Cold Mountain, they made you far too costumed, hair dressed, made up and prissy. In the second half with your uncombed hair bouncing off your botox you seemed much more natural and likeable.

Hugh Jackman, Le sigh - what is there not to love, with your floppy hair, your muscles and your man hands? Well I didn't really love the dye job on your hair or the thick ocker bloke accent in the first half of the movie, but I am willing to forgive you.

It all seemed a bit like it was trying so hard to be Gone with the wind, that it overplayed and didn't make the story amazing or truthful. It was meant to be 1939, but seemed to be trying to be 1860s.

Still for a Saturday night, when the temperature is low and the heater is on, I thought it was better than anything the tv had on offer. 3/5
