Taking Woodstock

Its 1969, and Elliot Tiber, a down-on-his-luck interior designer in Greenwich Village, New York, has to move back upstate to help his parents run their dilapidated Catskills motel, The El Monaco. The banks 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 neighboring 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 neighbors farm in White Lake, NY, and Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and American culture, forever.

A small movie, but that is worth to watch in cinemas (probably in the smallest theater of your city) for the feeling it shows about Woodstock.

Der Untergang

Traudl Junge, the final secretary for Adolf Hitler, tells of the Nazi dictator’s final days in his Berlin bunker at the end of WWII.

An original movie about WWII, from another point of view, and focussed on the last days of Hitler seen by the people who surround him. It is a movie to be seen in our opinion, even if you are not fund of war movies.

Avatar

A paraplegic marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home.

This movie has been advertized everywhere and was already famous before to be on theaters. It was with big expectations that we step in the cinemas. Huge budget, great graphics, great 3D: that is what we knew we were going to get.

In the end, here are our small conclusions about this movie: YOU SHOULD SEE IT. Better, you should see it in 3D. Whether or not you like science fiction, whether or not you are into American movies, you should definitely go to see that movie and make up your own opinion about it. Indeed, it is worth the ticket. The 3D effects are stunning indeed, and the planet on which our heroes discover their true selves, fight for their freedom, is a great realization. In other worlds, the special effects themselves are worth the ticket.

Now the story? Ecology, Love, Romance, War,

In Hollywood, people in need revolve around Dr. Henry Carter, a shrink: Jack, an aging star wants permission to cheat on his wife; Shamus is a director who’s a cokehead; Patrick is a high-powered germophobic producer; Jeremy is a young writer looking for a break; Jemma, a high-school student, is skipping school; and Kate is an actress facing her mid-30s. Henry’s wife recently died; he’s grieving, blaming himself, smoking lots of pot. Henry’s friends try an intervention; someone steals a patient’s file from Henry; Patrick’s assistant, the pregnant Daisy, sees promise in Jeremy’s work; and, Jesus, Henry’s drug dealer, sells him some potent weed. Can anything good come of this?
