I Love....




(I loved this lower picture and the art he made with the Strawberries. I wanted that picture in my house.)

The movie Across the Universe!

This weekend my sister and I rented the movie Across the Universe. It is the movie musical based on Beatles songs and follows the "love story of Lucy and Jude and is intertwined with the anti-war movement and social protests of the 60's".

I ended up watching this movie twice....I loved it! It had its WTF Awesome psychedelic moments, romantic moments, and the moments that hit on the social issues of the time. Plus the music was great!!!

I love the music of the Beatles and I love these types of social movies. This movie was fun but also made you think about then and today, and I appreciate that.

P.S. You can buy the Special Edition 2-disc CD at Amazon for $9.99 - AWESOME! I ordered two, one for my sister and one for me!!! And I am just going to say it, Jim Sturgess who plays Jude - HOT!!!

  7. Will and I listened to Abbey Road and even though we've been listening to these songs our whole lives, we agree that the songs sound weird after seeing the movie. Almost like the Beatles did a cover of the songs from the film, haha!
