El Orans is obviously a Nicole Kidman lover, but let's not hold that against him. She's ok as long as you don't have to hear her sing...

OMG - how could i forget The Man from Snowy River!!!! now THAT was a good aussie movie (even though it has that douglas fella in it)
finally a review!
Good, but no classic, and way, way too long - Film - Entertainment - smh.com.au
IN WHAT has to be the most hyped and self-consciously local film since 1984's The Man From Snowy River, the anxiously anticipated Australia is not a bad film. But it's far from a great one, and certainly not one destined to be a classic.
That's not to say it won't be popular, possibly wildly so. The film has broad appeal, particularly to the chick-flick market, with its sweeping, overlong melodramatic saga about cattle drives, the stolen generations, the bombing of Darwin and Hugh Jackman's abs
The film is fine, and never boring but, boy, is it overlong. At a mammoth 165 minutes it feels too much like a work-in-progress. There is a lot of narrative flab and longueurs in the first two hours and the film often has the pace of a steamroller with engine trouble.
Luhrmann also seems so eager to trowel on the Aussie cliches — obviously to appeal to the tourist markets! — that Australia is often simply irritating. The word "crikey" is spouted so often the film often sounds like a tribute to Steve Irwin.

yep...I'll see it. If all Hugh Jackman did in a movie was stand still for two hours I'd still pay to see it.
