3:10 to Yuma is fantastic.

I'm watching "World's Fastest Indian" (AGAIN) followed by Silence of the Lambs.

World's Fastest Indian is in my Netflix queue, somewhere

Anyone have any thoughts on Julie Taymor's new film, Across the Universe?

Planning on seeing it? I'm certainly curious (but yellow)

Since I actually own the appalling SGT. PEPPERS movie, and actually watch it on rare occasion, Across the Universe can only be a step up. I liked the trailer well enough.

It's kind of a "guilty pleasure that makes me wince." I inherently love rock musicals, from Tommy to Hair to Hedwig, and hearing Beatles tunes in this context is an appealing idea. But mostly, Sgt. Peppers is a jaw dropper of awfulness. Still, Earth Wind and Fire are great, and Aerosmith's "Come Together" needs no defending. Some (not all) of the Frampton and Bee Gees covers are respectable if uninspired. Some of it is so awful I have to zip past it. (Steve Martin's "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," Alice Cooper's 'Because," there are more.)

I know others who open-heartedly love it, and in most cases, they saw it when they were kids, so it has nostalgia going for it. Was this the case with you, CM?

I'm curious and strongly inclined to see it unless the reviews continue be abysmal.

I'd like to see Across the Universe just for the direction - other than that looks like a typical sappy l**e story.

I did see STARDUST this past week. I enjoyed it, but I think it was missing something. Acting and such was fun, but I think there was a real chemistry missing from both the actors in the roles and between the actors themselves. It had potential but fell short somewhere...

We just watched Hercules - for the first time in a long while. Meg is my favorite Disney heronie. And I love the songs.
