Here is a list of the DVD Releases for the week of March 3, 2009:
Australia
Synopsis: A romantic action-adventure set in northern Australia prior to World War II, AUSTRALIA centers on an English aristocrat (Kidman) who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Jackman) to drive 2000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier. With his new film, Luhrmann is painting on a vast canvas, creating a cinematic experience that brings together romance, drama, adventure and spectacle.
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, David Wenham, Bruce Spence, Ben Mendelsohn
Director: Baz Luhrmann
Recommendations: Turns out not everyone liked Australia, but I loved it. One of my favorite movies of 2008, and I am for sure going to buy it, watch it again and then give it to my parents and friends to watch.

Title: I'VE LOVED YOU SO LONG (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime)
Director: Philippe Claudel
Cast: Kristin Scott Thomas, Elsa Zylberstein, Serge Hazanavicius, Laurent Grévill, Frédéric Pierrot, and Claire Johnston
Release Date: 24 October 2008 (limited)
Thoughts: A big part of my interest for this movie, is my curiosity to find out why Kristin Scott Thomas's character spent 15 years in prison. Apart from that, the movie looks ok. I guess after being disappointed by so many potentially good French films, I am always a bit cautious to get too excited. I think I'll just wait to read more reviews about it before seeing it.
