We went to see Across the Universe last night and it was amazing. LOVED IT. Don't care that the movie as a story adn what not has issues, that wasn't really the point. It gorgously shot, beautiful sets and costumes, etc. the songs of course are the best songs ever written (this is really gonna become a cult classic singalong) and AND the acting/singing was really good. I figured that Jim Sturgess would be great (pretty much him singing Girl in the trailer removes all doubts) and Evan Rachel Wood despite some weirdness is a really talented actress (no one can deny this) but Joe Anderson was the surprise!! Now I have to take back everytime I was ever like "who the eff is this joe anderson person? and why is he on this list?" cause he was actually really good. He is gonna be in CONTROL too which I am obviously excited to see what with always having been a Joy Division fan. Anyways, I can't say enough about the movie. Afterwards N and I wanted to go see it again, and I kinda almost might on Sunday (one of those movies that I just keep repeat watching until the entire thing is forever stuck in my head). Anyhoos, if you guys get a sec and its playing near you, GO SEE IT. Its Julie Taymor madness at her best.
