Shipped on 02/02/10.

A twentysomething man (Demetri Martin) finds his life forever changed in the summer of 1969 when he offers up his parents' motel in the Catskills as a home base for Woodstock organizers and helps the show go on by donating an all-important music festival permit. Ang Lee directs this fresh take on 1960s counterculture based on Elliot Tiber's memoir by the same name. Eugene Levy, Imelda Staunton, Emile Hirsch and Jeffrey Dean Morgan co-star.

Shipped: Hamlet 2

Shipped on 01/12/10.

With his department in danger of being cut, high school drama teacher Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan) pens a heretical sequel to William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and exhorts his students to stage it in this sardonic comedy that riffs on the "inspirational teacher" genre. Catherine Keener plays Marschz's unhappy wife, with Elisabeth Shue appearing as herself -- or, rather, a version of herself who's given up acting to become a nurse.
