Demetri Martin is currently known as a breath of fresh comedy with his brilliant use of drawings and wordplay in his stand-up, as well as channeling the late Mitch Hedburg in his quirky everyday observations on his Comedy Central show, Important Things with Demetri Martin. While he looks like a young and upcoming comedian in his early 20's, Martin is actually 36 years old. He's appeared on HBO's Flight of the Conchords and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and had a small part in The Rocker, but now he's taking to the big screen with the lead role in Ang Lee's new film Taking Woodstock.

This period comedy follows the story of Elliot Tiber, stuck working at his parents failing motel in the Catskills in the summer of 1969. But when he finds out that some sort of hippie gathering called Woodstock needs a place to go down, he gladly offers a helping hand to help bring some tourism to his family's failing business. Based on a true story and book of the same name by Elliot Tiber himself, Ang Lee's throwing a curveball here with a movie completely unlike anything he's done before.

The trailer has all sorts of great moments, many of them involving a cast of oddballs at Woodstock including Emile Hirsch, Eugene Levy and for some reason Liev Schreiber in drag. The film looks like a lot of fun, and I'm really looking forward to see what Ang Lee can do with some comedic, not-so-steamy subject matter. But of course it's Woodstock so there's bound to be some sex. Trailer is below and the film comes out August 14th of this year. What do you guys think?

The more I see of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the less excited I become. There I said it. The first trailer that came out a couple months ago was action-packed for sure, but it felt a bit over the top. Now with these three new one-minute promos that aired during Fox's prime-time schedule, I'm not exactly impressed.

One of the more worrisome elements is that a lot of the forced humor that turned Wolverine into a walking punchline in X-Men: The Last Stand stuck around, and that's a bit disheartening. Also, I don't know if I'm the only one still skeptical, but I haven't seen Liev Schreiber (Defiance) do anything that makes me like him as Sabretooth yet. Hugh Jackman has already done a bit of damage control on those reshoots in Vancouver, but unless something amazing comes out before May, then I might need some more reassurance.

So far the only things sustaining a decent amount of interest and dare I say excitement are:

• Hugh Jackman as Wolverine because he's just so damn good at it
  
  
• Gambit being in the movie at all. This was a character that deserved the full fledged X-Men treatment, and it's good to see him on screen.
  
  
• Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Despite Blade Trinity falling flat on its face, I enjoyed Reynolds character and it'll be good to see him in something other than mediocre romantic comedies again.
  
  
• Dominic Monaghan as Beak. I just want to see how he plays in a comic book movie.
  
  
• Any potential cameos from other X-Men.
