Last chance to catch ‘Across the Universe’

Music comes and music goes, but the music of The Beatles has yet to die. And while their tunes are nowhere near as popular as they were in the 1960s, when radio DJs would play, say, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" 10 times in a row, they endure.

And not just on whatever listening device or streaming service you use. For example, Beatles music can be found throughout the movie "Across the Universe" — itself one of 34 Beatles songs used to tell the story of a pair of star-crossed lovers played by Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood. Directed by Julie Taymor, the 2007 movie uses the couple — and the music — to give a portrait of life during the that turbulent '60s decade.

If you're interested, you're in luck. "Across the Universe" is ending a three-show run at 7 tonight at three area theaters: AMC River Park Square and the Regal Cinemas locations at Northtown Mall and Coeur d'Alene's Riverpoint Stadium.

The Beatles themselves came and went, but they left behind them a pretty influential songbook. You can enjoy some of them tonight.
