Film Review: 'Taking Woodstock'

Something I've always regretted in my life was not having seized the opportunity to attend Woodstock back in 1969. You see, I was one of those pseudo-hippies with a job during summer break, thus suggesting I must have been a true capitalist at heart. I did, however, see the documentary "Woodstock," which hugely reinforced that regret. So, needless to say, I've been eagerly anticipating Oscar-winning director Ang Lee's new film, "Taking Woodstock."
