  Days of Thunder 1990

  ★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025

  Nicole Kidman briefly appears in this Tom Cruise vehicle about boys, cars and boys driving cars. The first of 3 collaborations with future husband and actual rat king, Tom Cruise, Days of Thunder is the perfect film for fans of curly hair, barely contained Australian accents, and Top Gun. 5 stars.

  Bush Christmas 1983

  ½ Watched 04 Jan 2025

  Imagine, if you dare, being a poor teenage girl living with her siblings, parents, a British exchange student, a prize race horse and insensitivity written hired help in the remote Australian outback. This is the situation a young Nicole Kidman finds herself in in 1983s Bush Christmas.

  A heartfelt holiday romp, this film will have you saying “I can’t believe that British kid said that” and “I hope the horse is okay”. Highly recommend if you like curly hair, Australian accents, or films that ineffectively take on racism. 5 stars.
