universal


just back from across the universe - fantastic! unbelievable sound, cinematography, visuals, graphics - a tour de force and a feast for the eyes ...

after being traumatized by miss saigon 15 years ago, i swore off any form of musical. so when jane suggested this movie this morning over lattés, i kindly declined. multiple beatles songs as a theme for a film was not at all compelling.

however, when our friends jeff & rochelle likewise thought it would be great - i relented. our plans for the evening had fallen through, so it was either stay home with our offspring (no!!!) watching bbc, or go to the movies.

really inspiring to see something that is not pure rubbish on the big screen - inspired, loose, well executed, and just downright cool. take your rambo, the equivalent of celluloid mcdonalds, and give me something like this anytime!

superb ...
