Finally See It

We saw "Australia" last night and it would be safe to say we liked it. Brandon Walters, the kid who plays the Aboriginal boy, Nullah...the "creamy"....pretty much steals the show from mainliner stars Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman though they do pretty well themselves. It lasted 2.5 hours but it didn't feel that long, however, we had to put up with a long pre-show screening of ads and movies to come. We didn't leave the movie house until after 10:30 pm with the 7:30 pm start time. I saw an interview with Jackman on FoxNews where he said that Australia is as much about Australia as Casablanca is about Casablanca, and he's right. This is not a history of Oz as much as it's where this particular story takes place. I recommend it but be sure to hit the loo before the movie starts! The cinematography is fantastic and really does justice to the Kimberly region in the northern part of Western Australia. I'll have to go check that area out someday.
