Taking Woodstock
By Martin, Demetri
A generation began in his backyard ... From Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) comes Taking Woodstock, the comedy inspired by the true story of Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin) and his family, who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the famed Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the happening that it was. 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 his parents' run-down motel. Three weeks later, half a million people are on their way to his neighbor's farm in White Lake, New York, and Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life-and American culture-forever.

The Postman Always Rings Twice
By Garnett, Tay
Even under the heavy censorship of 1946 Hollywood, Lana Turner and John Garfield's libidinous desires burn up the screen in Tay Garnett's adaptation of James M. Cain's torrid crime melodrama. Platinum blond Turner is Cora, a restless sexpot stuck in a roadside diner married to mundane middle-aged fry cook Nick Smith (Cecil Kellaway) when handsome drifter Frank (Garfield) blows her way. It's lust at first sight, a rapacious desire that neither can break off, and before long they're plotting his demise--but in the wicked world of Cain nothing is that easy. Garnett's visual approach is subdued compared to the more expressionistic film noir of the period, but he's at no loss when he films the luminous Turner in her milky-white wardrobe. She radiates repressed sexuality and uncontrollable passion while Garfield's smart-talking loner Frank mixes street-smart swagger and scrappy toughness with vulnerability and sincere intensity.

Book
Like most identical twins, Erica and Heather (Kim Raver in a dual role) have always been close. Their kids, Sarah and David, are even best friends. This bond between sisters seemed to be one that could never be broken - that is, until David is killed in a tragic accident. Everyone is overcome with grief, except Sarah, who is convinced that David is still there. She sets him a place at the table, plays games with him and shares his messages with her mom and aunt. Baffled by her behavior, Erica soon begins to resent Heather, who wants to communicate with her son through Sarah. And to make matters worse, Erica is pregnant, providing the perfect host for the spirit of a little boy who desperately - and violently - wants to return to a world he left too soon.
