Taking Woodstock, Ang Lee’s latest film about the accidents, desperation, and missteps which led to the 1969 generation-defining concert, shares certain key elements with Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous. They both chronicle the power of music to band and unite, or tear asunder; each illuminates a generation through rock ‘n’ roll; and both are responsible for introducing a rapturously captivating star.

McG is known for ass-kicking, testosterone-laced action like Terminator: Salvation, TV’s Fastlane and Charlie’s Angels.

But now he wants to get in touch with his sensitive side.

The director is reportedly in talks to direct and produce Spring Awakening, you know the rock opera from 90210 where they sang the line “Mama who bore me” over and over and over and over.

Last night was the second performance of Spring Awakening at the Ahmanson in Los Angeles and guess who was there?

The entire cast of 90210 2.0 including Ryan “Leggo My” Eggold (looking FOXY) and Shenae Grimes.

Do you think the Grimy Bitch sang along?

Once up a time we wanted to see Spring Awakening but now it’s been forever sullied as West Beverly High’s fall musical and we don’t know that we’ll ever to be able to erase that tortuous memory.

Mama who bore me, mama who gave me, only one line to sing over and over.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
