Whether you enjoy them or not, and personally I'm not a fan, Baz Luhrmann's films always make an impact when they land, not least because he's made so few of them in a directing career stretching back to 1992's Strictly Ballroom. Since then, only 1996's Romeo + Juliet and 2001's Moulin Rouge have made it into cinemas, though there has been at least one misfire. Luhrmann was reportedly working on his...

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...

Opinions on Baz Luhrmann ( Moulin Rouge! ) vary from moviegoer to moviegoer -- not everyone responds to super sized style and theatrics but to me the Australian filmmaker is a blessed rarity. He's a real live descendant of the old showman style of filmmaker or Hollywood producer. You can see the D.W. Griffith ambition. You can see the Selznick in him. If he were born before the movies he could have...

I adore sweeping, historical romantic epics. Out of Africa is my mom's favorite movie of all time, and for much of my childhood I simply assumed it had to be the be-all-end-all of cinema. So you can imagine my twitterpation...

What's being billed as an "extended TV spot", though it's really a trailer, for Baz Luhrmann's upcoming epic has recently been released and it kicks some serious ass. There's a little bit of everything - drama, romance, action, Hugh Jackman punching soneone in the face and lots more. In it, Nicole Kidman stars as an English aristocrat who inherits a ranch in Australia and enilists the help of rancher...
