Love, compassion, and music, three major key ingredients that make this charming yet sophisticated musical a classic in it’s own right. A romantic tale about a young man from liver pool who falls in love with a sheltered American girl. Most of the music of the film comes primarily from numerous Beatles songs, thirty to be exact. Coming from the great mind of Julie Taymor, who directed many other great films such as Frida, Titus, and the Lion King on Broadway, the film takes place mostly in the 60’s. Many thematic elements including anti-war protests and psychedelic recreation are just a few of the things that keep you on the edge of your seat.
This is just the beggining of my review, but i'm going to go see the movie sunday and i will add more to it.

My movie review
Here is my movie review for rush hour 3:
Rush Hour 3 Review Rated: pg-13
Funny, smart, and strait to the point is what makes this comedy crash all the others. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker return in the sequel to their first two box topping hit movies in Rush Hour 3. This film takes place 2 years after Rush Hour 2 and both lee and carter reside in Los Angeles. Carter is no longer a cop, but a traffic officer while lee is the protector of the ambassador of china. While giving a speech at the world criminal court discussions an assasination attempt is made on the ambassadors life and the ambassador is fatally shot in the chest nearly missing his heart. while at the hospital the ambassadors daughter Soo Yung makes Lee and Carter promise they will find out who tried to shoot her father. Lee and Carter end up in Paris looking for a dangerous underground gang, known as the triad.
While the movie still features some of the creative content that made it famous, such as witty dialogue, slapstick comedy, and great action scenes it lacks some very important characteristics such as….. CREATIVITY!! Much of the humor and clever gags between Chan and Tucker seem to be greatly encouraged by the first two films. Don’t get me wrong it still is over all a great film, with most of the scenes taking place in Paris and great appearances by Academy award winning director Roman Palanski as a wacky cab driver, are just some of the great things that make Rush Hour 3 a must see hit.

Change in Review
Hello, it seems there has been a change in plans. The movie i planned on reviewing, across the universe, won't be opening in austin for another week!! Because of this i have decided to review a different movie called Mr. Woodcock. I hope this is ok with everyone.
Here is the beggining of my review for Mr. Woodcock:
Funny, smart, and strait to the point is what makes this comedy crash above all the others. The story, about a man named John Farley who is the author of a best-selling self help book who returns home only to find that his mother is dating his unholy sadistic gym teacher Mr. Woodcock, is truly witty.

Coverage Ideas
Five ideas for stories
1. Movie Reviews
2. Music Reviews
3. Polls and oppinons on certain things
4. Newer things happening at akins
5. Have students write to the magazine and we answer their questions
I don't know any primary or seondary sources.
