A musical movie review: "Across The Universe"
Across The Universe - Thumbs WAY down
"Review" really isn't the right world for this, since I only made it about half way through. Horrendous.
I've been conflicted about this movie since it's theatrical release...I hate musicals, but I love the Beatles. My compromise was to wait til it came out on cable. And I am glad I didn't waste a Netflix rental on it. I can't even say anymore....it was mind numbingly bad to me...entrenching me even more rigidly in my 'all musicals suck' state of mind!
I don't even want to hear a Beatles song for the next 72 hours...but I will post a couple of my favorite Beatles covers.
Ben Lee - 'In My Life' MP3
The Black Keys - 'She Said,She Said' MP3
i had the same feeling. it was like you took every song i ever even liked from that band and just shat on them. and shat hard. it was a shatfest.
and the real BS part is that i am one of the only folks i know who was offended by this, and THE only one who just fuckin hates it.
