Title: Baz Luhrmann set to release fourth movie 'Australia'
Post by: jendf on November 12, 2008, 08:20:25 AM

I have a special boxed set of his first three films, Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, and Strictly Ballroom. I love his films. They are very flashy and fun. I think I watch Strictly Ballroom 3 or 4 times a year.

I'm looking forward to seeing his latest one, even if it does have the Botoxed-wonder Nicole Kidman. I'll be too busy taking in the eye candy that is Hugh Jackman.  :-)

As a straight-and-married-with-child, gun-owning, 4WD-driving, former Army Infantry Republican, I've gotta say that Romeo+Juliet and Moulin Rouge were great films. 

The energy level in R+J was exactly how I felt the Bard intended it, and the extreme close-up of Nicole Kidman and her ice-blue eyes on the trapeze swing was so beautiful that it hurt.

He's a great director. Very distinct style. I've enjoyed all of his work so far. Can't wait to see what he's done with Australia.
