Australia

Who's in it: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Bryan Brown, David Gulpilil, Brandon Walters, David Wenham

What's it about: The death of her wealthy husband sends Lady Sarah Ashley(Kidman) to the down under. In Australia, she meets the Drover(Jackman) who leads her to Far Away Downs, their cattle droving business headquarters. There she meets Fletcher(Wenham), who abuses the Aboriginal women who live on the estate. Nullah(Walters) and his grandfather King George(Gulpilil) lead Lady Ashley and the Drover through the Never Ever Land to deliver the cattle before their rival King Carney(Brown). In a time when equality is out of the question and acceptance is hard to find, the Far Away Downs family is sent on a grueling journey to become the head cattle drovers in Australia.

What I Think: I have to say that I loved Kidman and Jackman in this movie. Everything about them was perfect. Kidman looked as if she were never in make-up. She's absolutely gorgeous even without it. Jackman, People's most recent Sexiest Man Alive was stunning. There were so many scenes where I just about died they were so romantic. The story was very inticing and I loved every thing that was thrown into it. The movie was very long but it was worth every second that passed. Walters did one of the best acting jobs I've ever seen a child perform. It was hard to take your eyes off such a cute little guy.

The Others

The Others

Who's in it: Nicole Kidman, Alakina Mann

What's it about: A woman and her two children live in a mansion alone. Their father is off at the war. One day, three servants appear to help Grace(Kidman) take care of the children and the house. The children have a rare disease in which they are severely allergic to light. They are taught by Grace through the Bible. When Anne(Mann), Grace's daughter, begins to see 'intruders', Grace begins to slowly lose her sanity trying to find these people who seem to be taking over her house.

What I think: This movie started out as one of the worst most boring movies I had ever seen. It was hard to keep paying attention. As the movie progressed, it got so much easier to understand what was going on. The movie ended up being amazingly played out. The ending was outstandingly genius! You will never see what's coming at the end! I promise you that!
