Country Joe and the Fish

Taking Woodstock is the new film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee - and it s a trip! Based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, the comedy stars Demetri Martin as Elliot, who inadvertently played a role in making 1969 s Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. Featuring a standout ensemble cast, and songs from a score of 60s musical icons including The Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, and Country Joe and the Fish - plus a new recording of Freedom from Richie Havens - Taking Woodstock is a joyous voyage to a moment in time when everything seemed possible. Working as an interior designer in Greenwich Village, Elliot feels empowered by the gay rights movement. But he is also still staked to the family business - a dumpy Catskills motel called the El Monaco that is being run into the ground by his overbearing parents, Jake and Sonia Teichberg (Henry Goodman and Imelda Staunton).

Upon hearing that a planned music and arts festival has lost its permit from the neighboring town of Wallkill, NY, Elliot calls producer Michael Lang (Jonathan Groff) at Woodstock Ventures to offer his family s motel to the promoters and generate some much-needed business. Elliot also introduces Lang to his neighbor Max Yasgur (Eugene Levy), who operates a 600-acre dairy farm down the road. Soon the Woodstock staff is moving into the El Monaco - and half a million people are on their way to Yasgur s farm for 3 days of Peace & Music in White Lake. With a little help from his friends, including theater troupe leader Devon (Dan Fogler), recently returned Vietnam veteran Billy (Emile Hirsch), and cross-dressing ex-Marine Vilma (Liev Schreiber) - and with a little opposition from townspeople, including Billy s brother Dan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) - Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that

Captivated -- Based on a classic Russian tale, CAPITIVATED tells the unlikely story of Therese, a Polish immigrant, and Andr , a Fulton Fish Market worker in contemporary in New York City.

His roommate Joe isn t particularly welcoming and the brash and off-putting Therese takes on an unwelcome shine to Andre. Eventually Therese shows up with a seductive glimmer in her eyes and hassles Andre to help her write a letter to her boyfriend . Andre helps, but half-heartedly…little does he know that this is the beginning of a love he s been searching for.
