Because I've seen the first three films, I thought it only appropriate that I see
The Final Destination. Unfortunately, I thought this was the worst of the
Final Destination films. Like
The Goods, this movie seems to be comprised of spare footage that was just laying around a studio somewhere. The script is - wait, I take that back - there was no script. In movies like this the script seems to be an after thought. The death scenes were pretty neat, but the sheer unbelievability of all the events and the poor, never realistic special effects more than bugged.
Taking Woodstock is based on the true story of how the locale for Woodstock came to be. It centers on the Teichberg family and how their family owned motel becomes the epicenter of a hippie invasion. There are a lot of things to like about
Taking Woodstock. I liked the story, the characters, the humor. It's a great little gem of a movie. My only complaint is the wall it hit about 4/5 of the way through. Elliot's acid trip totally tripped up the movie's momentum and made the rest of the film drag. But aside from that one nuisance, I really liked
Taking Woodstock.
