Australia

(20th Century Fox)

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman

It’s no Moulin Rouge, but Baz Luhrmann’s latest is worth a watch. A big, bold melodrama set in the ’30s and ’40s, Australia brings the continent to life. Prim Sarah (a well-cast Kidman) journeys across Oz under the protection of a rugged cattleman (Jackman).
