taking woodstock

ang lee is one of a handful of directors whose films i will always try to see. not all of his films are great, but even his failures are usually interesting failures. taking woodstock, unfortunately, is in the latter category. it's not a bad film, it's just solidly okay. i'd say it's better than hulk, but worse than... um, everything else.

(though, to be fair, i haven't seen chosen. it's quite possible that "taking woodstock" is lee's third, not second, worst film)
