Australia.




Every once in a while, a movie trailer comes along, where you just know it's gonna be nominated for best picture. There are only two trailers I have seen so far this year that qualify. Today I'm only gonna talk about one of them, Australia. If you haven't seen the preview, you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05zTnDTpbHI&fmt=18.

I could not be more pumped for this movie. I have said for years that Hugh Jackman is going to be winning a Best Actor Academy Award and this is going to be his best shot so far. He is an amazing talent (save for that piece of shit film The Prestige) finally getting the chance to use his native accent. Nicole Kidman, to me, is nothing special. Only movie I like her in is Batman Forever and even there she doesn't really do much, which is why she's good.

Another note, having been to Australia myself and learning about the events that take place in this film justs ups the ante for my expectations. Though looking at the preview alone, it looks like Titanic, but instead of a big ass boat going under, it's the top of a continent being blown out of the water. Either way, this movie is gonna be sick.

p.s. GOW 2, fuck yeah.
