Baz Luhrmann's Australia, A Review

In attempt to go one better than Helenmh's six-word film reviews (my favourite was of Mamma Mia, for which she wrote: "Colin Firth with no shirt on"), here is my two-word review of Baz Luhrmann's new blockbuster, Australia:

Whew Jackman!

Or, if you would prefer the full six words: "Hugh Jackman gets his kecks off" (or "Daniel Craig, eat your heart out"). And if you would prefer an intelligent review, I'm sorry.

Nice review!

Going off-topic, I still haven't responded over at mine to your previous post: the art of subtle procrastination is clearly catching :-)

(I'll get there in the end though!)

Happy New Year Leigh.

No need for more, that review will do nicely for me. I was contemplating going to see the movie, now I'm definately going to go. Thanks.

Happy 2009. x

I take it this one's worth a look then?

Karen said...

Oo-er. Makes up for the rather lacklustre reviews the film's had so far!

Happy New Year :o)

Trousers - Still looking forward to it!

Lane - And when it comes to Hugh Jackman's clothes, too!

Debs - Very pleased to hear it. Hope you enjoy it too!

Womag - You can always close your eyes if it gets too much.

TF - Ooh, I'm coming over to see.

Helen - Oh, definitely worth a look. Definitely.

Karen - Yeah, some critics have really slammed it; but I thought the whole thing was fab. Quite frankly, if the film carries me along, as this one did, I don't have the need to look for nitpicks.

JJ - Well, quite. Hope you enjoy it!

Claire - Hello and welcome! Kindred spirits are always welcome!
