I think I'm the only person here that enjoyed Australia. There has to be that one guy, right? I think I was expecting a sort of ''Out of Africa'' touch here with sweeping music and visuals.....but this was more MTV with the flashy editing and camera movements a la Moulin Rouge! And Kidman was so an...

Well, I give it to Seventh Heaven then which I loved (and think Janet Gaynor earns her Oscar more from that performance than the one she gives in Sunrise). I agree with you on Janet Gaynor. I love her, and I love Sunrise , but it's a much more minor performance from her than either Seventh Heaven o...

Australia (Baz Luhrmann, 2008) 3/10

What an unnecessarily long film! And boring to boot. However, reared on corny Bollywood melodramas the ending made me cry.....maybe it was relief that the film had finally ended.

What I find amusing about this is that when Bale went into his rant he did it in character in his American, or at least mid-Atlanitc accent. When he issued his apology this morning he did so in the heavily British accent we've become accustomed to hear when he's playing himself. Usually when people...

Has a predominantly non-English performance ever won in support? No I don't think a predominantly non-English performance by an actress has ever won in support (De Niro won his first for one though) but there is always a first time.....and it is, after all, in a Woody Allen film....and she did spea...

No, she's not. La Cruz will win.

Big Magilla wrote:Paging Sabin.

Yes, I notice that he has been coming on board and posting....but he probably missed this one.

Big Magilla wrote:It's an original dramatic work based on their lives, not an adaptation of either the documentary or the stage musical.

Oh I see! I thought it was an adaptation of the stage musical.
