New ‘Australia’ trailer
I’ve been hearing some good things about Hugh Jackman’s performance all along, but for some reason, he’s never cracked my Best Actor chart.  It’s a crowded field, but anyway, this is a great trailer.  I’m a Baz supporter through and through, and I’ve been told this isn’t the straight-up epic it appears to be from the materials released so far.  It isn’t Baz restraining his vision for the sake of a style of film he hasn’t tackled yet; it is very much a

He says that if the prequel fails to match the success of the previous X-Men films, he will quit the franchise altogether. He says, “If it’s clear to us on May second or third that that’s gone, then I’ll walk away happily. I’m not going to flog something - or flog a dead horse, or try and make movi

Trailer Cache: Australia
The new trailer for Baz Luhrmann's Austrailia  has us a little dumbfounded. The film, Mr. Luhrmann's first since striking the fancy of Oscar voters seven years ago with his multiple nominated revisionist musical Moulin Rouge!, features so many references to other movies that it's actually hard to keep up. Mostly Australia culls from African Queen; Hugh Jackman actually appears to be wearing Humprhey Bogart's wardrobe from the John Huston film, while Nicole Kidman seems to be reading Katherine Hepburn's di

Nicole Kidman's hot role
Nicole Kidman didn't think she would "survive" filming 'Australia'.The 'Moulin Rouge!' star returned to her native country to make the film with Hugh Jackman, but admits she was unprepared for the extreme temperatures in the Australian Outback.She said: "To actually go to these places and live was very, very difficult.

Another Great Australia Trailer

TECH SUPPORT: Best Costume Design — Volume I
The Academy Award for Best Costume Design recognizes, shock of shocks, the clothes and accessories worn by actors in a film.  Clothing can add to the story and express the nature and situation of the characters who wear them. If a single word could be used to describe this category, it would be “period.”  31 of the 40 nominees here this decade were period pieces.  This is not altogether surprising.  Period clothes automatically draw attention by not being the sort of fashion we see every d

TECH SUPPORT: Best Sound Mixing — Volume I
Those words from Al Jolson forever changed filmmaking in 1927, ushering in “talkies” and bringing about the beginning of the end of the silent film era. The Academy Award for sound mixing recognizes the artists who fashion a film’s audio side.  It must be distinguished from Best Sound Editing, which is the integration of artificially created sound effects into the mix.  Mixing is the blending of those effects, along with dialogue, music and any other noise captured during filming.  The Oscar a

New trailer for Australia
