Watch free full Forrest Gump film online now!! http://openguys.org/films/2008/07/03/forrest-gump-watch-free/
Forrest Gump Summary: "Stupid is as stupid does," says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother; Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam; Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp; and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.

I enjoyed Tom Hanks part as i thought it was differate to his other roles
Road to Perdition Summary:
The acclaimed graphic novel from crime writer Max Allan Collins becomes this big budget Dreamworks drama from director Sam Mendes and screenwriter David Self. Tom Hanks stars as Michael Sullivan, a morally conflicted Depression-era hit man committing murder in the name of his employer, John Rooney (Paul Newman). A kindly, aging Irish crime boss who raised Sullivan as his surrogate son, Rooney is affiliated with Al Capone in Chicago and thus wields great power in the "Tri-Cities" of Moline, IL; Rock Island, IL; and Davenport, IA. Curious about his father's mysterious profession, Sullivan's son, Michael Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin), stows away in his father's automobile one night and witnesses the execution of a man at the hands of Sullivan and Rooney's biological son, Connor (Daniel Craig). Although Michael keeps his promise to remain silent about what he's seen, the paranoid and unstable Connor tries to wipe out the entire Sullivan clan anyway, succeeding only in killing Sullivan's wife, Annie (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and youngest son, Peter (Liam Aiken). Enraged at this and another surprise betrayal by the Rooneys, Sullivan embarks on a path of bloody retribution, Michael in tow. Although he intends to leave his boy with relatives in the rural town of Perdition once the coast is clear, he ends up exposing Michael to the goriest aspects of his talents, slaughtering former associates as he dodges contract assassin Maguire (Jude Law) and cripples the cash flow of the Rooney and Capone organizations through a series of bank robberies, attempting to force either mob family to offer up the sequestered Connor as a sacrifice. Inspired by the popular Japanese comic book series -Lone Wolf and Cub and based loosely on an episode from the life and career of notorious real-life crime figures John and Connor Looney, Road to Perdition co-stars Stanley Tucci as legendary Chicago mobster Frank Nitti.

'Great one'
One of the hallmarks of modern thriller films seems to be cherry-picking the best elements of the genre and then doing nothing with them. Disturbia is an intriguing film - partly because it stars new Hollywood wonderboy Shia LaBeouf but mainly because it is a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, a brilliant thriller about a wheelchair-bound man who spies on his neighbour and believes he has witnessed a murder. Or has he?
Here, the wheelchair is replaced with a house arrest ankle band, the protagonist is troubled teenager Kale (LaBeouf) and the neighbour is the creepy Mr Turner (David Morse), who develops an interest in Kale's mother, Julie (Carrie-Anne Moss). There is teen romance, a sidekick in the form of Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) and so much product placement that as the film meanders to its predictable conclusion you could be forgiven for thinking you've switched channels to an infomercial.

Alison "Allie" Jones is a software designer in New York City. While her professional star is on the rise -- she has created a computer software package that will revolutionize the fashion world -- her personal life is a mess. Allie banishes her fiancé Sam Rawson from her rent-controlled apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side, after discovering that he slept with his ex-wife. Allie finds platonic comfort in her neighbor Graham Knox, an aspiring actor with a sensitive shoulder to lean on. Realizing that the only way to hold on to her apartment is to find a roommate, Allie places an ad and interviews a succession of unsuitable candidates before settling on the shy Hedra "Hedy" Carlson, the ideal roomie in Allie's eyes. Hedy quickly fills the void left in Allie's life by Sam's departure. Allie is only too happy to allow Hedy to cook and clean for her. Their friendship deepens when Hedy brings home an adorable and -- unknown to Allie -- very expensive puppy. Allie later discovers the receipt and confronts Hedy, but Allie can't bring herself to part with the puppy. Unknown to Allie, Hedy erases Sam's phone messages when he calls to plead for a reconciliation. Before long, she's even begun dressing the same way Allie does. Allie passes off this strange behavior as that of an insecure but well-intentioned woman. When Allie reconciles with Sam about a month after Hedy moved into the apartment, Allie and Sam toy with the idea of Sam moving into the apartment with Allie. Hedy goes over the edge, knowing that this means that she would have to move out of the apartment. One afternoon, while Allie and Sam are out of the apartment, the puppy, which Allie has grown to love, plunges mysteriously to its death from a window. And before long, Hedy's closet contains the exact same clothes as Allie's, and Hedy has even had her hair cut and dyed to match Allie's look, resulting in a startling resemblance between Allie and Hedy, with height being virtually the only difference. More than a little unnerved, a suspicious Allie talks to Graham. Graham advises Allie to get Hedy to move out of the apartment. Allie begins to investigate Hedy's background. Allie goes into Hedra's room and looks through her possessions, and discovers that Hedy is not who she claims to be -- Hedy's real name is Ellen Besch. Years ago, when Ellen was 9-years-old, Ellen's twin sister Judy drowned at a family picnic. An absolutely devastated Ellen hasn't been the same since Judy's death. The bond between siblings can be strong, but it can be especially strong with twins. For years, Ellen's parents tried to explain to her that Judy's death was not her fault, but Ellen never forgave herself for living while Judy died. Ellen, who had undergone futile counseling, had been looking for a female companion so Ellen could have a friend to replace Judy. That's why Ellen tries to look exactly like whatever roommate she had at the moment...so it would be like Ellen still had a twin sister. Before moving in with Allie, Ellen had lived with a woman in Tampa. That didn't work out, so Ellen killed the woman and went to New York, later moving in with Allie. Now, as Ellen becomes progressively more dangerous, Allie must find a way to free herself from Ellen before Allie ends up like the woman in Tampa.

Onegin
(1999, Unrated)
On-yay-ghin. It's Russian and it's depressing.
Hmmm... maybe that's a tautology.
Anyhoo, this adaptation simply reeks of eternal Russian pessimism. The bright side of life is only there to remind you of how bad things are. Every character, no matter their station or situation is drowning in a mire made from their own life. Every step forward is a step away from what you already have. Every breath is but an extension of your suffering. It's no wonder they invented vodka.
Ralph Fiennes makes a great jaded socialite and a pretty damned good unrequited lover. He captures the hopelessness of his character's culture with ease. No matter how happy he gets he always knows that he's about to fall. Like the great sage said, "This, too, shall pass". Liv Tyler is more human than any other character she's ever portrayed: virginally naďve as a lovesick girl and terminally tragic as a married woman. She and Ralph advance and retreat like German soldiers on the Russian front.
Toby Stephens absolutely shines as Vladimir, the provincial poet. He is at once intense and unfocussed. Like a stick of dynamite all he needs is the right fuse. That fuse is Onegin. His course of effete destruction reaches out and grabs those around him, dragging them into his personal hell. They may not suffer fire and brimstone but it makes eternity seem a long time.
If you like a good arty flick with lots of rich people being incredibly stupid and condemning themselves to live no better than the only life of which they can conceive, Onegin is a damned good film for you. Heck, even if you only go to see the frocks, it's worth the price of admission.

Gyllenhaal plays Sherry Swanson, a former heroin addict who has just been paroled from prison after serving three years for petty theft. She's trying to put her life back together and, in particular, re- establish her relationship with her daughter, who is now 5 and has been living with her brother and sister-in-law. (The child's father is long gone.)
Her character generates empathy. Viewers can't help but be sympathetic to the difficulties faced by a young parolee -- living in a group home of ex-convicts; reporting to an overworked, hard-nosed parole officer; trying to get a job; dealing with renewed cravings for drugs and alcohol, and working out a new relationship not only with her daughter but with her relatives who have cared for and grown to love the little girl.
Yet Sherry is hardly a saint, and despite the hardships she faces she can't escape her own self-destructive tendencies. In a raw and unsparing performance, Gyllenhaal lets us see the hair-trigger temper, the promiscuity and the sharp-tongued brazenness masking the low self-esteem and neediness that most likely got Sherry into trouble years earlier and that place her in jeopardy again.
The self-protective narcissism that probably enabled Sherry to survive prison makes her ill-equipped to recognize the new relationship her daughter, Alexis, played by the very natural Ryan Simpkins, has made with her brother Bobby (Brad William Henke) and sister-in-law (Bridget Barkan). Henke is terrific as a loyal brother torn between the love he retains for his troubled and troublesome sister, his love for his wife, who has given Alexis the affection and nurturing the little girl needs, and his own love he has developed for the child.

Henry is Jewish and is a professor at the local university. Julie is the daughter of Polish emigrants. Together they have twins, Nicolas and Nicole, who are 10 years old. A happy family, Julie adores her husband until the day she arrives home early from vacation and finds him in bed with another woman. Henry is terribly remorseful - for him it was just a one-night stand - and he begs for Julie's forgiveness. For Julie however, her entire world has fallen apart. And in the midst of it all, they find out that their little boy has cancer, and medicine cannot help him. All the members of the family cope in different ways with this tragedy. As a scientist, Henry has to accept it. Nicole tries some magic rituals. Julie's father turns to religion. And Julie refuses to admit that the boy is going to die.
In her desperation, she seeks the help of a Russian healer in Poland named Alexis. Alexis has never been with a woman before. Upon meeting Julie, he encounters something new and falls in love for the first time. Julie, out of gratitude for healing her son and admiration, begins to love him in return.
Julie Walking Home is a story about family, love, betrayal, miracles and death. A story about the various stages and hidden meanings in life.

(2006, R)
Milla Jovovich has made a career out of playing women whose sexy looks are matched only by their ability to fight their way out of any situation. This revenge-fueled drama is no exception with Jovovich as Kat, a fishnet-clad, gun-toting beauty. Kat lives under the thumb of her brutal boyfriend, Big Al (Angus Macfadyen, SAW III), but it's Al's second-in-command (Stephen Dorff) who really cares for her. But Kat has more in mind than love as she vows vengeance against her abusive lover.

L.A. journalist Karina Danes (Minnie Driver) has come to Juarez, Mexico, a small town on the US border, to write about maquiladoras, foreign-owned factories that attract poor workers despite sweatshop conditions. Most of the employees are women earning money to send back to their families. But many of them die before they have the chance. Since 1993, nearly 400 of these women have been raped and killed, often while walking home after brutally long work days. Local authorities have been ineffective in stopping the killing spree and their involvement called into question. Danes is introduced to this world by a Catholic priest, Father Herrera (Esai Morales), and a community activist, Patrick Nuncio (Angus McFadyen).
Mariela (Anna Claudia Talancon) is a teenager determined to help her family. When she leaves her village for the promise of Juarez her mother gives her a pendant of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It is her only protection. The Virgin, it appears, works mysteriously. Shortly after Mariela is hired at a maquiladora, she is abducted, raped, and left for dead in the desert. Mariela survives but the attack leaves her straddling two worlds. She has intense visions of the Virgin Mary and begins to exhibit signs of stigmata, the inexplicable appearance of wounds in her hands that mimic those Christ received when He was nailed to the cross.
Isidro (Jorge Cervera, Jr.) is a janitor at the hospital where Mariela is recovering. His wife was one of the murdered workers, and he is convinced Mariela is the embodiment of the Virgin herself, come to stop the feminocidio. He is not alone. As the story of Mariela?s ordeal spreads, she attracts a devout following and comes to be known as La Virgen. She preaches from an abandoned church.
For some, Mariela is dangerous. She has photographs of suspects in the Juarez killings and she disperses them with thinly veiled sermons. When another attempt is made on her life, Father Herrera and Danes help her move to the relative safety of Los Angeles. There, Mariela?s power is no less potent. With the help of Father Herrera?s gangster brother Gio (Noel Guglielmi), she continues to spread word of the events in Juarez. Soon, a series of suspects in the killings are themselves mysteriously murdered and authorities turn to La Virgen. During the investigation, Mariela comes face to face with a man carrying her Virgin of Guadalupe pendant, still stained with her blood. She has not seen it since the night of her attack. The lines between saint and sinner, redemption and revenge, good and evil are now difficult to discern.

The setting is Vienna. A young American woman is brought to a hospital after overdosing on pills, apparently in a suicide attempt. A police detective suspects foul play on the part of her lover, an American psychology professor. As doctors try to save her life, the detective interrogates the professor, and through flashbacks we see the events leading up to the woman's overdose; her stormy and intensely sexual relationship with the professor, her heavy drinking and numerous affairs, and her estrangement from her Czech husband. A darkly erotic study of several rather unsympathetic characters.

Whoopi Goldberg stars in this musical take on the South African struggles against Apartheid in the mid-1970s, during the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. An adaptation of Mbongeni Ngema's popular musical, which ran on Broadway from 1988 to 1989, Sarafina! recounts the political coming of age of the title character, a high school girl involved in the Soweto student protests of 1976. At first just a petulant bundle of energy, more interested in boys than civil rights, Sarafina (Leleti Khumalo) learns of the Afrikaaner oppression through the underground lectures of her teacher, Mary Masembuko (Goldberg). Sarafina's mother, who works as a servant in a white household and never sees her children, urges Sarafina to toe the line. But she can no longer turn a blind eye when the government imprisons her teacher and slaughters her would-be boyfriend during an arson protest. Incited to rebellion, the students kill a crooked black constable, leaving Sarafina to wrestle with their decision to use violence against the government's strictures. Ever tightening its grip, the ruling regime would kill 575 blacks over eight months in an attempt to quell the civil unrest. The sober subject matter is leavened by Ngema's jubilant songs and Michael Peters' electric choreography.

Set off on an exhilarating adventure across a part of America still rarely seen, deep into the raw and rambling, high-mountain roots of rock, bluegrass, folk and country music. This is the terrain of "SONGCATCHER", a different kind of movie about music: part love story, part archive of America's most secret musical legacies. Academy Award-nominee and Tony Award and Golden Globe-winner JANET MCTEER stars as turn-of-the-century musicologist Dr. Lily Penleric, an unlikely heroine whose earthy, unstoppable drive leads her to musical, personal and romantic discoveries - as she uncovers remarkable songs, dances and beats of the heart in the Appalachian mountains. The time is 1907. Lily Penleric, a woman ahead of her time, has just been passed over yet again for a university promotion, despite her academic achievements. Frustrated and determined to get the recognition she deserves, she heads to Appalachia, dragging an impossibly bulky, primitive recording device far into the hill country, with a plan to record music never heard before. There she joins her sister Elna (portrayed by Tony Award-winner JANE ADAMS), who runs a local schoolhouse - and quickly butts her head against the fiercely insular and protective mountain ways. Here, the story takes a left turn into the wild-hearted culture of the Appalachian mountains, as Lily worms and wheedles her way into the world where American roots music was born, a place of hardscrabble farmers, daring, illegal bootleggers and palpable magic. Some of contemporary music's most exciting artists including IRIS DEMENT, TAJ MAHAL and HAZEL DICKENS also star, along with music by such legends as EMMYLOU HARRIS bringing to life the raw and transcendentally lyric ballads and tunes of Appalachia. Under the shotgun-toting tutelage of local expert Viney Butler (played by Grammy and Emmy Award-winner and Tony Award-nominee PAT CARROLL) and the scarlet-throated orphan Deladis Slocumb (EMMY ROSSUM), Lily begins to learn about the local music and starts to record their haunting songs. But Lily cannot help but also become privy to the mountain people's struggles - from marital squabbles and run-away husbands to the community's fight to save their land from greedy coal companies. Not everyone in the hill-country is cooperative, including the rough local musician Tom Bledsoe (the acclaimed AIDAN QUINN), who accuses Lily - now known far and wide as "The Songcatcher" - of exploiting the locals. But as Tom comes to see Lily's strength and passion for the music, and Lily begins to feel Tom's deep loyalty for his people, mutual respect and romance blossom. The fires are not confined to Lily's romantic life, though, and when disaster strikes hard at the very core of her mountain community and her own ambitions, Lily is faced with a choice: to remain an outsider forever or to join the musical, spirited community of the mountain people she has grown to admire.

A smart and sassy baker whose extraordinary pies are inspired by her daily trials and tribulations, Jenna fears that her dreams are all but dead when handsome Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion) reveals that she is soon to become a mother. As Jenna begins penning a series of letters to her unborn baby, her life starts to change for the better in ways she never could have imagined.

Watch free full Sleepwalking 2008 film online. Click here Watch free online Sleepwalking 2008'
A film ?Sleepwalking? by Bill Maher. Sleepwalking has terrible camera work. It?s one of the main problems with it. Its shot like a sappy Lifetime movie, close-up after close-up in the film?s most pivotal scenes tires the audience. What?s great about this movie is it?s not flashy like people think movies need to be. It is not over the top, not glamorous. This movie is striped to the bare essence of what it takes to make a good film or better, great acting, and a genuine story line. Sleepwalking?s ending hardly even tries to put some sort of resolution. It?s an all-throughout morbid storyline that deserved a true resolution, sadly it barely had one. The cinematography by Juan Ruiz Anchia is bleak yet beautiful and the screenplay by Zac Stanford, while meager, still manages to make the characters? plight heartfelt if too familiar.

Duncan Mudge (Emile Hirsch) is a shy, isolated, sexually confused farm boy whose mother has recently died, leaving him under the supervision of a stern, depressed father. Duncan seems somehow to have transferred his love for the deceased mother to his favorite chicken, which he takes everywhere, even to bed. He has developed the odd habit of putting the chicken's head in his mouth -- to calm the animal, he says, though the act also seems to reflect sublimation of homosexual desire.[citation needed] Duncan also likes to dress in his late mother's clothing, much to the distress of his confused father. The small, insular band of redneck teens that comprise adolescent social life in Duncan's world initially ostracize him, then allow him in to their circle only reluctantly, and largely for their own amusement. Duncan is beset with a profound sense of grief while trying to reconcile himself to a world in which he is a sexual alien. His crush on one of the local kids, Perry (Tom Guiry), leads to a resolution of sorts.

Meet Roy and Frank, a couple of professional small-time con artists. What Roy, a veteran of the grift, and Frank, his ambitious protégé, are swindling these days are "water filtration systems," bargain-basement water filters bought by unsuspecting people who pay ten times their value in order to win bogus prizes like cars, jewelry and overseas vacations--which they never collect. These scams net the flim-flam men a few hundred here, another thousand there, which eventually adds up to a lucrative partnership. Roy's private life, however, is not so successful. An obsessive-compulsive agoraphobe with no personal relationships to call his own, Roy is barely hanging on to his wits, and when his idiosyncrasies begin to threaten his criminal productivity he's forced to seek the help of a psychoanalyst just to keep him in working order. While Roy is looking for a quick fix, his therapy begets more than he bargained for: the revelation that he has a teenage daughter--a child whose existence he suspected but never dared confirm. What's more troubling, 14-year-old Angela wants to meet the father she never knew. At first, Angela's appearance disrupts her neurotic father's carefully ordered routine. Soon, however, with his own unique spin on parenthood, Roy begins to enjoy a relationship he never dreamed of having with his daughter. But while he develops paternal feelings for the 14-year-old, she's developing a fascination with Daddy's questionable career.

Click here for Badland Trailers (2007)' -------------------------------- Click here online Watch free full Badland (2007)'
Badland is a must for everyone. The film is harrowing and emotionally draining. It certainly packs a punch. Jamie Draven acts his part superbly as an anguished and desperate man- and his American accent is even passable! There is very much an atmosphere of claustrophobia and desolation running through the story that it is quite spine chilling in its effect.I believe this will have quite an impact on audiences on release. The only criticism might be that it is too long- there were scenes that could have been shortened. But the overall effect was spellbinding. Congratulations to Badland Films for a believable story brought to us with all the inherent pain and guilt that the main character portrays. His pain is deafening. Congratulations to Jamie Draven too- an ideal choice.

The title character in this made-for-cable contemporary Western could be hard-bitten cattle rancher John William Cooper (Lance Henriksen), or, for that matter, John's long-estranged daughter Jacqueline "Jake" Cooper (Jennie Garth). Having broken off relations with her dad due to an unpleasant incident involving her mother, Jake returns to Dry Creek Ranch after an eight-year absence with her young son, Billy (Dylan Wagner), in tow. The reasons have little to do with father-daughter love; John's father has died, and the ranch is now mortgaged to the hilt. Out of a sense of obligation, Jake agrees to work the ranch in hopes of putting it back on its financial feet, all the while keeping her distance from the taciturn John. Other interested parties include cowboy Morgan Murphy (Bradley Cooper), who wants to help Jake despite her father's resistance to Morgan's "newfangled" ranching methods, and John's old pal Amos (M.C. Gainey), who is determined to mend the fences between John and Jake.

A black comedy centered on Paul Barnell, a down on his luck Alaska travel agent who's on the brink of bankruptcy and whose beloved wife, Margaret, is on the brink of insanity. So what's a nice guy with good intentions but bad business sense to do? The answer lies frozen in a dumpster outside of Barnell Great Escapes-a dead body Paul hopes to pass off as his long-lost brother Raymond and then collect on the life insurance. Unfortunately, investigator Ted Watters who's anxious to transfer back to the lower 48 with his girlfriend, isn't about to let Barnell walk away with a million bucks. Adding to Paul's avalanche of problems are two aspiring hit men-turned-kidnappers and the stunning return of the supposedly dead Raymond, who now has an ax to grind with his brother. Desperation is running high in the "big white," and if Paul is smart, he'll blow the snow, take the money and run...to South America.
