Across the Universe is a beautiful love story packed with creativity, art & design and fantastic colorful imagery. Directed by Julie Taynor, the film is written to go along with songs composed by The Beatles and is presented through a theater style perspective bringing tons of dramatic flair.

Bringing us back to the wild times of the 70s, Across the Universe takes us through the lives of six young people who try to  find themselves in a world where war surrounds them. Losing loved ones, trying to survive and falling in love are three main topics of the film. The story is mesmerizing and the music is unforgettable. The visual and creative aspect of the film is what lures the viewer in to a place where colors soar and the mind travels through galaxies. The energy and emotion between the characters is like the big cherry on top.

Across the Universe explores every color of the rainbow with a color scheme so vibrant and free, it makes you feel like you’re the one on LSD. You gotta love the 70s! Take a ride back in time and experience young love with all the fixings. You might even want to get up and soar the across the universe yourself.

The sci-fi film, The Fifth Element, is one filled with adventure and fantasy. Based on a story by Luc Besson, the film takes you on a journey set in the future where unique creatures and characters bring the screenplay to life. The setting and cinematography is superb. With its vibrant color scheme set against old time city neutrals, its a nice mix of a futuristic feel and everyday reality.

The story brings a taxi cab driver and the supreme being together to save the world. Learning about each other and themselves throughout the journey is where love is born. The creative characters we meet along the way keep us wanting more and the brilliant special effects are on point every time. This fantastic exploration of life, love and good & evil is what makes The Fifth Element one you shouldn’t miss. If the colorful scenes don’t capture you from the start, I don’t know what will.

Directed by Ridley Scott in 1985, Legend is a tale of fantasy and adventure. A time when fairies and goblins roamed the mystical forests and unicorns were wild and free. The film features the Lord of Darkness, played by Tim Curry, whom sets out to capture the two unicorns who keep the power of light safe and destroy them only to keep the horns to create a never-ending darkness.

The two other main characters, Princess Lily (Mia Sara) and Jack (Tom Cruise), are in the forest at the time of the unicorn attack. Once the unicorns are hit, they run and Jack thinks its because of Princess Lily, not knowing of the goblins shooting the poisonous dart. As a game, she takes her ring and tosses it into the lake, saying whomever finds it she will marry. Of course Jack jumps in. But while he is underwater the top freezes due to the goblins cutting the unicorns horn. This is where the journey begins!

Filled with love, horror and amazement, Legend is a beautiful film that is showcased through a world wind of hues. With the fight between light and darkness, one travels within plenty of Earth’s natural color scheme. This cult classic is not to be missed. For a generation who surely misses the 80s, it has become a cult classic. For the ones who surpassed this great time in film, sit back, turn off the lights and get ready for a step back into the past where imaginations soar and Mother Nature takes over.
