**********************************
THE INVENTION OF LYING (PG-13) 99min
Ricky Gervais (Ghost Town, The Office) makes his feature directing debut
(with co-director and co-screenwriter Matthew Robinson) with this very
funny romantic comedy set in an alternate present where lying does not
exist. Everyone speaks the truth with no thought of the consequences.
Gervais plays sad-sack Mark who is about to lose his job, while also
trying to win the heart of the woman he loves. Then he discovers that he
can actually tell a lie (but still no one else can), and the world starts
looking a whole lot better…until he realizes that his tall tales are being
treated as the gospel truth. Co-stars include Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey,
Rob Lowe, Jonah Hill, and Jeffrey Tambor.
TAKING WOODSTOCK (PG-13) 120min
Elliot Tiber, a young gay man whose parents (Imelda Staunton and Harry
Goodman) own a rundown hotel in upstate Bethel New York is the inadvertent
lynchpin that allows the Woodstock Music Festival to go on. He has a
permit for a music festival desperately needed by the event's promoters
when they are denied in nearby Wallkill, and hopes to earn enough money to
pay off the mortgage. Based on his memoirs, director Ang Lee (Brokeback
Mountain) has made a colorful, gentle and charming comedy set on the
periphery of the actual festival. Eugene Levy plays Farmer Max Yasgur,
Emile Hirsch plays Elliot's school friend who is suffering from his
Vietnam service, and Liev Schreiber is an ex-Marine drag queen who
provides security for the hotel over that weekend in August, 40 years ago.
BIG FAN (R) 88min
Stand-up comedian Patten Oswald (who voiced Remy in Ratatouille) gives a
brilliantly sympathetic and nuanced portrayal of "Paul from Staten
Island", an obsessive NY Giants fan who spends his days monitoring a
parking garage and scripting pro-Giants rants, and his nights at home with
mom calling up late-night sports talk radio call-in programs and
performing his "spontaneous" diatribes (she's not impressed). His
passionate fanaticism is what keeps him going even after a chance
encounter with his favorite player doesn't go quite as planned. This
directing debut from screenwriter Robert Siegel (The Wrestler)
demonstrates with truth and humor his unique vision of the human
experience.
