Welcome to world of movie business. Since Warner Bros announced that it was moving Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to 2009, Hollywood Studios are scrambling around trying to take advantage of the opportunity. Now the turn was for 20th Century Fox and the release of the anticipated film Australia from November 16 to November 26.
“Recent shifts in the release dates of other pictures created an opportunity for us to move AUSTRALIA to November 26, which is a big win for us and for this amazing film,” said Bruce Snyder, Fox’s President of Domestic Distribution. “It’s only a 12-day move, but the new date is an ‘event’ weekend – one of the busiest movie going periods of the year – and one truly befitting this Baz Luhrmann motion picture event.”
AUSTRALIA is an epic and romantic action adventure, set in that country on the explosive brink of World War II. In it, an English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) travels to the faraway continent, where she meets a rough-hewn local (Hugh Jackman) and reluctantly agrees to join forces with him to save the land she inherited. Together, they embark upon a transforming journey across hundreds of miles of the world’s most beautiful yet unforgiving terrain, only to still face the bombing of the city of Darwin by the Japanese forces that attacked Pearl Harbor. With his new film, Baz Luhrmann is painting on a vast canvas, creating a cinematic experience that brings together romance, drama, adventure and spectacle.

Synopsis
“First, there was the rousing Iron Man. Now Marvel Entertainment brings the equally exhilarating The Incredible Hulk.” (Vince Horiuchi, The Salt Lake Tribune )
Academy Award® nominee* Edward Norton stars as scientist Bruce Banner, a man who has been living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote to the unbridled force of rage within him: the Hulk. But when the military masterminds who dream of exploiting his powers force him back to civilization, he finds himself coming face to face with his most formidable foe: the Abomination – a nightmarish beast of pure aggression whose powers match the Hulk’s own!
Also starring Liv Tyler, Oscar® nominee† Tim Roth, and Oscar® winner** William Hurt, The Incredible Hulk is “steeped in action and spectacular special effects” (Claudia Puig, USA TODAY) and delivers a mind-blowing final showdown that can only be summed up with one word…INCREDIBLE!
Some of you may wonder if Don Cheadle can carry a movie like this as the main star. He plays Samir, a man born in Sudan with a past that drives his future. I’ve enjoyed all his work. I believe he is a talented, underrated actor. Heck, I even enjoyed those NFL commercials he did once upon a time. So if you ask me, yes he did carry the movie quite well. It’s no Oscar winning performance, but he did a compelling job. The storyline, though, helped him a lot. Many times it’s the actor that makes the movie but in this case the story helps the actor make the movie. The story of this film captures your attention as much as Don’s performance. Don wasn’t alone either. Guy Pearce as FBI agent Roy Clayton and Saïd Taghmaoui as Omar, Samir’s recruiter, both deliver sharp performances. Jeff Daniels as CIA contractor Carter and Neal McDonough as Roy’s partner are solid as usual with their small but meaningful supporting roles. The dialogue was right on too. Even with the use of a lot of foreign language in the film, it doesn’t lose you. It is not too elevated and not boring either. It’s at just the right down to earth level that helps keep you involved in the film. If there is one thing I’ve learned somewhat recently it’s that many movie goers are turned off by hand held camera work or what I like to call the “dizzy camera”. This became more apparent to me after reading comments for movies such as Bourne Ultimatum, The Kingdom, and Cloverfield (especially Cloverfield). For some reason it just doesn’t affect me as much; on the contrary, I enjoy it because it gives me more sense of realism as if I were there and taking part of the action. But because I know it bothers many of you I will have to warn you that this movie uses that technique for some scenes. I don’t think it was as bad or as much as the other movies I mentioned, but I figured I should warn you.
Writer/Director Jeffrey Nachmanoff might be best attributed as a writer for The Day After Tomorrow. With only a couple of works under his belt in both the writing and directing categories, kudos to him for this well made piece. This film is truly insightful. As I watched this movie, for some reason the movie Rendition kept popping in my head. The stories are different but the subject matter is similar. If you saw that one and liked it, this one is even better. This movie makes a good connection between summer time action and dramas of the fall.
