Australia - The Epic Movie... Love It Or Hate It

[Aussie Pete]

BAZ Luhrmann's sweeping epic "Australia" finally premiered in four locations last night as its director hosed down the country's outrageous expectations for the film.

"Not everyone's going to love it, not everyone's going to see it," the director said of his $180 million film starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and newcomer Brandon Walters. "All we can do is do our best and invite everyone to the party."

No matter what anyone thinks of the film - and initial reviews are positive without being effusive - Luhrmann knows how to throw a party. After viewing the 165-minute film, audiences in Sydney, Darwin, Bowen and Kununurra emerged to toast the biggest Australian film ever.

Love Nicole Kidman in Far and Away, Australia should be fun.

If you love westerns, there is a new western on DVD, Comanche Moon (2008), starring Val Kilmer, Steve Zahn, Linda Cardellini and Rachel Griffiths.

Can't wait to pick up Australia on DVD.
