Martin and I saw the movie Across The Universe last night, and we both really enjoyed it. It is a musical set in the turbulent 60's about the war and some of the people it affected. ALL the songs are Beatles songs, which are sung by the characters in the movie!
I am, of course, a huge Beatles fan, so I loved it. The actors all have really nice voices, but I think my favorite was Martin Luther (JoJo). The movie tied all the songs together to fit into the story so perfectly that you would think they were written for the movie. That really amazed me.
Another great thing was all the references to the Beatles, like the first scene at the Cavern Club, where the Beatles first played (and were discovered) in Liverpool. That scene was actually filmed at the real Cavern Club!! It is filled with other references, too, so anyone who knows about the lives and times of the Beatles will enjoy picking them out.
