	<title>&quot;Four Christmases&quot; Wins Weekend, &quot;Australia&quot; In 5th</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/four_christmases_wins_weekend_australia_in_5th/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; LOS ANGELES &amp;mdash; Thanksgiving weekend movie crowds gobbled up the Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn holiday comedy &quot;Four Christmases,&quot; which debuted at No. 1 with $31.7 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. 

 The Warner Bros. release, featuring Witherspoon and Vaughn as a couple suffering through four separate family holiday gatherings, raised its total to $46.7 million since opening Wednesday to get a head start on the long weekend. 
         In terms of revenue, it was Hollywood&#39;s second-biggest Thanksgiving period ever. The top 12 movies took in $223.7 million from Wednesday to Sunday, trailing only the $232.2 million haul over Thanksgiving in 2000. 

 Summit Entertainment&#39;s vampire romance &quot;Twilight,&quot; which had a huge No. 1 opening the previous weekend, took a steep 62 percent decline from its $69.6 million debut and was neck-and-neck for second place with Disney&#39;s animated family flick &quot;Bolt.&quot; 

 Based on Sunday&#39;s estimates, &quot;Bolt&quot; had a slight lead with $26.6 million for the&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top entertainment news, videos, and blogs on ShowHype: &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movies/"&gt;Movies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/four_christmases/"&gt;Four Christmases&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/australia/"&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/twilight/"&gt;Twilight&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/bolt/"&gt;Bolt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<title>Michael Jones: In Praise of Australia</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/michael_jones_in_praise_of_australia/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; Let those without a heart beating in their breasts give  Australia  less than four stars. Those who boo kids at Easter Egg hunts, yell at referees at junior hockey games, sneer at sunrises, cut in line in front of little old ladies, give out healthy snacks at Halloween, talk during the Star Spangled Banner... they will laugh and slang at  Australia . A pox on them. They prove that they are not really members of the human race.  

 For if you have a heart, if your thick cynicism barely covers a romantic soul a mile wide, if you teared up at the last scene in  In America , if John Wayne in the doorway at the end of  The Searchers  made you feel something somewhere in you, if you have a pulse, you will love  Australia . 

 I have looked at the reviews: two stars, two and a half stars, I did not read them. 

 I walked into the movie uninfluenced by words, but worried by the lack of eight down in today&#39;s  New York Times  crossword puzzle: critical acclaim. Biased? Perhaps, I love Baz Luhrmann&#39;s movies,&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top entertainment news, videos, and blogs on ShowHype: &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movies/"&gt;Movies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/australia/"&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The swaggering rebel with a heart of gold is first seen on screen starting a bar fight over a snub of his friend, an aboriginal man.

	<description>&lt;p&gt;Contenders: Actor: Actor experts put together all the performer pieces -- Find &quot;cute&quot;! Find &quot;dark&quot;! Find &quot;chemistry&quot;! Find &quot;unknown&quot;! And, oh yes, find me a Pygmy! And of course, they gotta be able to carry a film. That&#39;s the kind of phone call casting directors live for. For Ronna Kress, working on &quot;Australia,&quot; the biggest challenge was finding that cute Aboriginal boy.

	<description>&lt;p&gt;Peter Bart: &#39;Benjamin Button,&#39; &#39;Australia&#39; are important risks -- They are anomalies. Jumbo-sized anomalies. At a moment when belt-tightening is the order of the day, &quot;Australia&quot; and &quot;The Curious Case of Benjamin Button&quot; reflect grandiose creative appetites and lavish visions. And we should be grateful for them.

	<link>http://showhype.com/article/review_australia_weighed_down_by_artifice/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;When the subject of Australia is as ambitious as the character of an entire country, and the filmmaker is as effusive as Down Under&#39;s native son Baz Luhrmann, a ballsy Aussie cinematic razzle-Bazzle is to be expected. To be longed for, actually.

	<title>NYT &quot;Australia&quot; Review: &quot;Demented... Diverting... Kitsch&quot;</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/nyt_australia_review_demented_diverting_kitsch/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; Baz Luhrmann&#39;s continent-size epic, &quot;Australia,&quot; isn&#39;t the greatest story ever -- it&#39;s several dozen of the greatest stories ever told, &quot;The African Queen,&quot; &quot;Gone With the Wind&quot; and &quot;Once Upon a Time in the West&quot; included. A pastiche of genres and references wrapped up -- though, more often than not, whipped up -- into one demented and generally diverting horse-galloping, cattle-stampeding, camera-swooping, music-swelling, mood-altering widescreen package, this creation story about modern Australia is a testament to movie love at its most devout, cinematic spectacle at its most extreme, and kitsch as an act of aesthetic communion. 

 Mr. Luhrmann&#39;s use of culturally degraded forms both here and in earlier films like &quot;Moulin Rouge&quot; doesn&#39;t register as either a conceptual strategy or a cynical commercial ploy or some combination of the two, as it can with art world jesters like Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami, who have appropriated kitsch as a (more or less) legitimate postmodern strategy. Instead it&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top entertainment news, videos, and blogs on ShowHype: &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movies/"&gt;Movies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/australia/"&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<title>Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman Dish &#39;Australia&#39;</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/nicole_kidman_and_hugh_jackman_dish_australia/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;      
 Hugh Jackman  and  Nicole Kidman  are talking &#39;Australia&#39; -- and that&#39;s not all they&#39;re spilling the beans about!   
Watch our video to hear what the native Aussies have to say about their new epic and Hugh&#39;s recent honor -- being named  People &#39;s Sexiest Man Alive!   
In theaters everywhere today, &#39;Australia&#39; places Nicole and co-star Hugh in an epic saga set in the days leading to World War II. Nicole plays Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat who reluctantly teams up with Hugh&#39;s Drover, a rough-and-tumble local who guides her to the land she inherited.

	<title>Hugh Jackman: My Wife Was Cool With Me Kissing Nicole Kidman</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/hugh_jackman_my_wife_was_cool_with_me_kissing_nicole/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;   Hugh Jackman  and  Nicole Kidman  are both happily married -- but they had fun locking lips for their upcoming flick  Australia . 
 &quot;It’s really amazing for me to kiss someone where I don’t have to have my shoes off or be in a ditch or have the other actor stand on a box, which is not sexy,&quot; Jackman told  Usmagazine.com  at a press conference for the movie in Beverly Hills, CA on Friday. &quot;It was really lovely and I think Nic said the same thing. She said, ‘Oh, I get to look right at him.&#39;&quot; (After her split with  Tom Cruise , the 5-foot-10 actress famously remarked, &quot;I can wear heels again!&quot;) 
  Look back at Nicole Kidman&#39;s fashion highs and lows over the years.  
 And it&#39;s a good thing the pair didn&#39;t mind kissing scenes, because the film-- directed by  Baz Luhrmann  -- is chock-full of them. 
 &quot;Baz quite likes sunsets and kissing, I tell you! So we ended up kissing quite a lot,&quot; Jackman said to  Us . &quot;It wasn’t the toughest day at the office! However, it’s never particularly comfortable&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top entertainment news, videos, and blogs on ShowHype: &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/celebrities/"&gt;Celebrities&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/hugh_jackman/"&gt;Hugh Jackman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/nicole_kidman/"&gt;Nicole Kidman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/australia/"&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://showhype.com/movie/baz_luhrmann/"&gt;Baz Luhrmann&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 Review:   
If looks were everything, director Baz Luhrmann&#39;s epic salute to
his native land would be the movie of the year. But, crikey, a
padded script bloated with subplots and shameless sentimentality
can wear you down. Nicole Kidman pushes way too hard (and the
strain shows) as Lady Sarah Ashley, a Brit snob who comes to
Australia in 1939 to catch her husband cheating and instead finds
him murdered. It&#39;s not long before she takes over his cattle ranch,
befriends a half-caste boy, Nullah (cutie Brandon Walters),
victimized by the government&#39;s racial policies against Aborigines,
and beds down with the Drover (a lively, sexy Hugh Jackman), the
cowboy who drives her cheeky bulls to market. There&#39;s also World
War II, the 1942 Japanese bombing of Darwin and umpteen choruses of
&quot;Over the Rainbow,&quot; the...

	<title>New Celeb Rivalry: George Clooney vs Hugh Jackman?</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/new_celeb_rivalry_george_clooney_vs_hugh_jackman/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Entertainment Tonight has the latest...      
 Hugh Jackman  may have earned this year&#39;s  People  magazine Sexiest Man Alive honor, but not everyone thinks he&#39;s so deserving!  
&amp;quot; George Clooney  rang me at two in the morning,&amp;quot; Hugh tells the mag.  &amp;quot;I was half asleep and I said to him, &#39;Ah, George sweetie, good to hear from you.&#39;&amp;quot;  
But joking George rang the &#39;Australia&#39; star to say he wasn&#39;t too pleased with the magazine&#39;s decision.

	<title>George Clooney Hazes Hugh Jackman In Late-Night Call</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/george_clooney_hazes_hugh_jackman_in_late_night_call_1/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; As PEOPLE&#39;s newly crowned Sexiest Man Alive, Hugh Jackman has been inundated with congratulatory phone calls. But when a certain two-time winner got on the line, it was time for some hard-core hazing. 

 &quot;George Clooney rang me at two in the morning,&quot; Jackman told PEOPLE Monday at the Australia premiere in New York City. &quot;I was half asleep and I said to him, &#39;Ah, George sweetie, good to hear from you.&#39; &quot; 

 But this was not a courtesy call. &quot;He goes, &quot;Shut up, Jackman!&#39; &quot; the Aussie actor jokingly recounted. &quot;[He said,]&#39;I know what you did! You started this big campaign that&#39;s been going on and [you] took the title away from me.&#39; &quot; 

 &quot;I thought that was unnecessary,&quot; Jackman deadpanned.

	<title>Nicole Kidman &amp; Hugh Jackman Bring &#39;Australia&#39; to NYC</title>
	<link>http://showhype.com/article/nicole_kidman_hugh_jackman_bring_australia_to_nyc/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;      
New York got a little taste of the Outback Monday night as  Nicole Kidman  and  Hugh Jackman  premiered their sweeping, big-screen romantic adventure &#39;Australia&#39; in the Big Apple. ET talks to Nicole about the big film, and how her husband  Keith Urban  feels about her steamy love scenes in the film!  
&amp;quot;He’s used to it,&amp;quot; Nicole says. &amp;quot;I mean, he understands what it takes to be an actor, and he’s just so supportive -- which is lovely.&amp;quot;  
In theaters everywhere Wednesday, &#39;Australia&#39; places Nicole and co-star Hugh in an epic saga set in the days leading to World War II. Nicole plays Lady Sarah Ashley, an English aristocrat who reluctantly teams up with Hugh&#39;s Drover, a rough-and-tumble local who guides her to the land she inherited.

	<link>http://showhype.com/article/hugh_jackman_nicole_kidman_on_her_australia_secret/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;       Nicole Kidman  and  Hugh Jackman  grappled with life-changing events on-screen and on-set in their sweeping new romantic adventure &#39;Australia.&#39; What secret did Nicole think she could keep for the duration of the shoot?   Asking questions of each other via the Mino Flip Video, Hugh kids Nicole, &amp;quot;Did you really think that you kept it a secret from everybody that you were pregnant on the shooting of the film?&amp;quot;   Nicole responds, &amp;quot;I thought I did. Subsequently I found out that I was a hopeless secret keeper -- that&#39;s more that my belly wasn&#39;t such a good secret keeper, and also because I had morning sickness and I was tired; you know, the first three months when you&#39;re pregnant you&#39;re tired.&amp;quot; Of course, Nicole and hubby  Keith Urban  gave birth to daughter  Sunday Rose  in July.
