Posted by Randy Barnett: DO NOT SEE "AUSTRALIA" http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_11_30-2008_12_06.shtml#1228509113
Avoid Australia--not the continent, the movie. To see why, go to [1]this link on Rotten Tomatoes and read all the negative reviews--something I did not do before wasting 3 hours of my life. They summarize quite well how bad this film is. My two favorite lines are these: "Within five minutes, Australia seems headed for trouble. It gets there and stays there." & "Really, you don't want to sit through this." As usual, you can count on the opposite of Roger Ebert's opinions being the case. I hope whatever the other positive reviewers were smoking is legalized soon. On that idea, see Ethan Nadelmann's op-ed, [2]Let's End Drug Prohibition, in today's Wall Street Journal. /rant References 1. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/australia/?critic=creamcrop 2. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122843683581681375.html _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://lists.powerblogs.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
