TAKING WOODSTOCK
(Comedy/Drama | USA | 2009 | 14A | 120 min)
From Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) comes Taking Woodstock, inspired by the true story of Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin).
It’s 1969, and Elliot, a down-on-his-luck interior designer in Greenwich Village, has to move back upstate to help his parents run their dilapidated Catskills motel. The bank is about to foreclose, his father wants to burn the place down but hasn’t paid the insurance, and Elliot is still figuring how to come out to his parents. When Elliot hears that a neighbouring town has pulled the permit on a hippie music festival, he calls the producers, thinking he could drum up some much needed business for the motel.
Three weeks later, half a million people are on their way to his neighbour's farm in White Lake, NY, and Elliot finds himself swept up in the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and popular culture, forever.

HEATHERS
(Comedy/Satire | USA | 1989| 18A | 103 min)
This black comedy made overnight stars of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, shocked uncool film critics everywhere and became one of the biggest cult classics of the ’80s.
Heathers is a brilliantly black comedy about peer pressure, malicious croquet and having a brain tumor for breakfast. At Westerburg High where cliques rule, jerk jocks dominate and the most popular girls are all named Heather, it’s going to take a Veronica (Ryder) and the mysterious – and possibly psychotic – new kid J.D. (Slater) to give teen angst a body count. Shannen Doherty also stars in this cruelly hilarious high school movie. |
