Bad title, (possibly) good movie.

Baz Luhrmann, you know?  (that one's for the Lyndo aficionados) 

In case you don't know:  Baz Luhrmann, director of the "Red Curtain Trilogy," which I call the "Red Curtain Duology," because Strictly Ballroom was so terrible.  But we'll forgive him for that, because Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge were so good.

Now that we're all caught up...  The Baz is directing a new film for 2008 called, simply, Australia, a title so simple that it's completely meaningless.  But through the magic of iMDB, we can learn more than the Baz's title is willing to divulge, and then rank our interest in this film accordingly:

directed by the Baz...+10 points (would be more, but we haven't seen anything from him in a while, and I'm a skeptic)

starring Nicole Kidman...+1 point  (great actress, can apparently transform into anyone)

starring Hugh Jackman...+2 point (also a good actor, has adamantium claws)

features an Australian cattle drive... +2 points (because, you know, why not?)

features Japanese bombing of Australia in WWII... + 15 points (something I've never seen before and that I know nothing about)

Now, if we run the numbers through the Add-o-mo-tron, we can determine that our interest level is somewhere around 30 points.  30 out of what?  I don't know.  The Add-0-m0-tron can't do everything.  Yet.
