Has anyone else seen this? We watched a Netflix copy last night. Its a fun movie with a little bit of seriousness.

Demetri Martin is quite good in the lead but Liev Schreiber steals the show as Vilma.

Gnu,

When I was in Canada there were many stores where you could both buy and rent movies. Blockbuster is closing down here in Wilminton. Is it the same there?

Netflix is a seriously good deal. We end up getting 7-8 movies per month for $4.99 using the United States Postal Service.

There is also Red Box which is $1.00 movie rentals from a (red) vending machine.


Beer, I think any Baby Boomer who like music will like it. That should include most Catters.

One of the things I liked about it (aside from the wonderful characters and acting) was that it took me back to the way things felt during those heady days. I wasn't at Woodstock, myself, but I remember the "vibe" of that period for those of us who were a part of that culture. How soon we forgot.

I liked it.. Ang Lee is a solid director who gets into the details.. Demitri has his own comedy show and is funny as hell... I think this was his 1st major acting role.. won't be his last...

Liev Schreiber also starred in the Woodstock-themed 1999 film A Walk on the Moon. Good entertainment, with the bonus of a steamy sex scene between Viggo Mortensen and the wonderful Diane Lane.
