The Short List of Things to Do
A guide to what you should see and what you should skip — and what you won't be able to avoid
Across the Universe
Dozens of Beatles songs ornament this frenetic social history of America in the 1960s. The numbers have nothing to do with the plot, which makes it all the more fun to see Taymor shoehorn, say, Let It Be into the Detroit race riots. The DVD allows you to skip the goofy narrative and go straight to the hallucinogenic music videos.
