Across the Universe

I finally got around to watching Across the Universe last night. At the recommendation of a good friend, I expected this movie to be right up my alley. When it comes to movies, very, very few are in my alley. The majority of movies would probably be shanked for coming through my alley.

Apart from being bored for most of the movie, there were a few scenes - musical performances - that I particularly enjoyed. Through the magic of YouTube, I can share them.

Joe Cocker - "Come Together"


Bono - "I am the Walrus"


"Oh Darling"


"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"


"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite"


My personal favorites might have more to do with my favorite Beatle songs and less about the actual movie. The soundtrack is probably spot on though.

Bummer you didn't like it. I liked how the renditions of the songs told the story...not to mention some very good cover work.

I felt like some of the songs were jammed in,just to have them in.
