Special Item: Taking Woodstock

Taking Woodstock opened on 1,300 screens last Friday, following its limited release that Wednesday. Though a 1,300 screen distribution is enough to make the film qualify as a wide release, it is not enough to put it at a theater near me. Ultimately, the demands of college and my responsibility to review the other two films released last weekend (Halloween II and The Final Destination) has made a two-hour trek to the closest theater playing Taking Woodstock nearly impossible. However, “nearly impossible” is not “completely impossible.” Therefore, there might be time for me to see the film sometime later this week. However, because I had already viewed Halloween II and The Final Destination, written my reviews, and edited them, I decided that it would be better to simply go ahead and publish my thoughts. If I am able to review Taking Woodstock prior to Friday of this week, I will post my review just above this announcement. If not, then it will be treated as a limited release and will be reviewed as a Late Review.
