Favorite Actors... Hugh Jackman

I am riding on the coat tails of my last post. I love Hugh Jackman.... I repeat, I love Hugh Jackman. Not only is he an all around great actor, he is also the sexiest man alive. Hello... Need I say more. Well, there is much to say about Hugh. Here are my top five reasons for being a fan:

1. He is a jack(man) of all trades: He can sing, dance, host, act, be sexy, and be real.
2. He seems like a genuinely nice person. Every interview I have seen him in he is hospitable. I appreciate that.
3. I believe him when he says he loves his wife! Use him as an example men.
4. He's not afraid to try.
5. Did I mention he is good looking?

Keep up the good work Hugh! You have many adoring fans out there waiting to see what you will do next!

Australia

Deserves a Defender!!!

I know I haven't written in a very long time (I discovered critiquing movies is actually really hard), but I feel I need to defend the movie Australia. I saw this movie the day it opened and LOVED it!!! I thought it was one of the best movies I had seen in a very long time. It may even be one of my favorite movies. I thought the acting was outstanding and the story was amazing.

What I loved about this movie was it brought to light a piece of history that many people did not know about. I never knew how Australia was involved in World War II and further about the oppression of the aboriginal children.

The movie was long... I understand this, but it was worth it long. I kept wanting more. I thought the romance between Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman was beautiful and the way they form a family was incredible.

I loved everything about this movie. I can't say enough about it. If you didn't like it, watch it again with a renewed attitude. If you haven't seen it, forget everything you have heard and watch it without expectation.

Support Australia because it really got a totally undeserved shaft.

PS... I thought Benjamin Button was totally boring. It was a good story, but I will never watch it again. I don't know why it go so much acclaim and Australia didn't. I am a little upset!!!
