Across the (Beatles') Universe

Another trip underway, this time to Pasadena and a couple of stops in Asia. I had some free time today, so I went to see Across the Universe- written around songs of the Beatles, it's a wildly creative movie musical that really works. I don't know why this film hasn't gotten more attention - it was released in September and got some good reviews (this one is quite good), but I don't think it was in many theaters (at least not for long). I saw it as a bargain matinée in a second-run theater for just two dollars! The DVD will be out in February 2008.
