First Licks

Claire Sutherland's just-posted review of Australia is obviously coming from the obsequious side of the room -- she doesn't strike me as tough-minded in the slightest. Here, however, is The Australian's Michael Bodey -- "intermittently brilliant, largely good but ultimately erratic."

hello - Sutherland writes for News Corp- as if she'd be incurring the wrath of Uncle Rupert, at least at this early stage of the game..

Incidentally, she's not actually a critic, just a Sydney tabloid arts reporter.

A lot of people will be pissed that she broke embargo.

It sure reads more like a press release. As for first review claims, early this morning on a google review search, this review,

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2008/11/18/1226770367495.html

...was actually posted an hour before the sutherland review.

I bet the News Corp review was posted to counteract Schembri's less than stellar opinion. He could probably care less about the embargo.
Really interested to hear what David Stratton has to say though he's been quoted as saying Lurhmann is a descendant of David Lean so that makes me wary.

The Australian? The Sun? Can we get a review by a publication not owned by 20th Century Fox's daddy, News Corp.?

I eagerly await Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly's take on it.
