My Single Mom Life

I spent the better half of the morning watching infomercials for xtreme cookware and steam cleaners, and directbuy showrooms.

Then the mail came and brought us today's Netflix selections.
I picked out The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and Sebastian chose Across the Universe.

Set in America during the Vietnam War, Across the Universe is a powerful love story set against a backdrop of political and social unrest: it's a story of soul-searching, self-doubt, and individual powerlessness cleverly conveyed through a multitude of Beatles songs.

This is not only a pure visual masterpiece, the soundtrack is utterly amazing. I have to get this soundtrack. All the stars of the movie, sing all of the songs by the Beatles, and it's just awesome. Evan Rachel Wood, Joe Cocker, Bono, Dana Fuchs, and Salma Hayek and more. It's really really good. I am in love with the arrangements of the songs. It's all the classic Beatles, but changed and beautiful. And the visuals, wow. This is just so well done. If you love the Beatles and movies with music, you have to check this out.
