He is hardened by his anger at the world and spends his days woking in the prison pine plantation. He is disconnected from his family, but news of his mother's illness prompts him to break out of prison in the hope of reaching her before it is to late. Vaughn meets Lena at a truck stop on the road to Sydney. Initially both are suspicious and wary of each other, but their journey, mostly on foot and the odd lift, brings them closer to their search for purpose, identity and love.

More than 90% of the world's opals are mined in Australia, and it is the country's gemstone. They are hidden all over and so many small miners claim a patch of land and start digging with great dreams of finding their own special rainbow. The Williamson family lives in the small, hot, and dusty opal mining town of Coober Pedy in South Australia. Rex (Vince Colosimo) is convinced it's just a matter of time until he finds some gems. His wife Annie (Jacqueline McKenzie), who brings in the family income by working as a supermarket clerk, feels that she's always playing second fiddle to her husband's obsession with striking it rich. Their son Ashmol (Christian Byers) likes tagging along with his dad and respects his enthusiasm. He is a bit tired of his nine-year-old sister Kellyann (Sapphire Boyce), who spends all her time with two imaginary friends named Pobby and Dingan. She pushes them on a set of swings, holds hands with them as she walks the corridors at school, and has afternoon tea with them in a little shed she's set up for them in the back yard.
Her parents don't quite know what to do about her obsession with these imaginary friends. They alternate between playing along with Kellyann by setting two extra plates at the table to insisting that she stop pretending. In town, Annie's boss always gives the little girl two lollypops for Pobby and Dingan. But less sensitive members of Coober Pedy call her a retard.
One day, in an attempt to help her separate from these friends, Rex offers to take them and Ashmol to his mining claim. When they return late that night, Kellyann claims her friends are not in the truck. She throws a fit and insists they go back to the mines to look for them. One of the other miners spots them on his property and threatens them with a gun and the charge that Rex is a "ratter," out to steal opals from his claim, one of the worse things to be called in this community. When this fellow takes him to court charging trespassing, Annie is let go at the store. Meanwhile, Kellyann can't cope without her friends and retreats to her bed with an upset stomach and a fever.
Opal Dream is based on a novella by Ben Rice who also wrote the screenplay for the film. The director is Peter Cattaneo who was at the helm of The Full Monty, another story about wild dreamers and the strange and sometimes wonderful ways community can come about when you least expect it. The central role is that of Ashmol, the brother who at first has very little patience for his sister and her imaginary friends. But when he comes to see how much she misses them and what an important role they have played in her life, he becomes a spiritual warrior willing to anything it takes to make her feel better. One of his best ideas is having her draw them for a poster to put around town; he sees in her sketches the intimate details she knows about their bodies and personalities.
"Imagination is the secret marrow of civilization," says Henry Ward Beecher, a nineteenth-century Protestant minister. "It is the very eye of faith." This faculty feeds our appreciation of the unseen and fuels our dreams of the future. Kellyann's imaginary friends give her life color, detail. and adventure whereas her father's dreams of finding opals give him the energy to face each day with hope. When Ashmol decides to set aside his realism and skepticism about pretending, he begins a project that will help the entire family and even bring some needed solidarity to the community of Coober Pedy. And in doing so, he enlightens us about another important dimension of imagination ? the ways in which it can be an instrument of creative love that liberates and gives meaning to all it touches.

Cast List, Plot coming soon :)
This thriller investigates the mysterious assassination of a gay pastor in rural South Africa. Without witnesses or explanations, the crime appears to the police and others as a jigsaw puzzle without enough pieces. The police then suspect and arrest people based on the usual prejudices, black and coloured people who plant marijuana in this case. Meanwhile, the true assassin not only goes his way unpunished from the very beginning, but becomes one of the rural town's most respected citizens. The sheriff at one point does begin having certain suspicions, and from there on the bulk of the plot is played out. The location is a very arid part of South Africa, so with so much desert rock, there are bound to be quarries. Some may reveal important secrets.

Lackawanna Blues Summary:
A young boy grows up among a makeshift family of oddballs and dreamers in this adaptation of Ruben Santiago-Hudson's acclaimed one-man show. Ruben Junior (Marcus Carl Franklin) is a young boy who was born in the late '40s into a family that started crumbling not long after he was born. Ruben Junior's parents were from Lackawanna, a city in Upstate New York, and were living in a rooming house run by Nanny Crosby (S. Epatha Merkerson), whose place was a hub for the local African-American community. When Ruben Junior's parents split up, he and his mother return to Lackawanna and Nanny's rooming house; with mother overworked physically and in sad shape emotionally, Nanny takes Ruben Junior under her wing, and offers him the sort of nurturing she gives all her boarders. Nanny's house is full of people struggling for a fresh start in life, ranging from former convicts to recovering drug addicts, and she opens both her doors and her heart to them as they strive to make themselves better people. Ruben Junior finds a loving home amidst the colorful eccentrics in Nanny's circle of friends, but as America changes over the course of the 1950s and '60s, so does the neighborhood where Nanny and her tenants live -- and not for the better. Produced for the premium cable network HBO, Lackawanna Blues features a stellar supporting cast, including Delroy Lindo, Louis Gossett Jr., Rosie Perez, Jimmy Smits, Jeffrey Wright, Mos Def, and Ernie Hudson.

Scripter Robert W. Lenski adapted G.D. Gearino's novel What the Deaf-Mute Heard for this Hallmark Hall of Fame comedy. It was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, by director John Kent Harrison. During the '40s, single mother Helen (Bernadette Peters) boards a bus for Barrington, Georgia, with her 10-year-old son Sammy (Frankie Muniz). She tells him not to say a word. The two are separated when she exits the bus and is carried away, leaving the sleeping Sammy to travel to Barrington by himself. Because Sammy won't speak, bus-station manager Norm assumes he's mute and deaf. Norm gives Sammy a cot in the back of the station, and he's fed by widower Norm's friend Lucille (Judith Ivey), owner of the adjacent cafe.
Years pass, but the grown Sammy (Matthew Modine), working as a handyman, still remains silent. Well-to-do widow Tynan (Claire Bloom) orders him about when she has him clean porch furniture. Her snobbish son Tolliver (Jake Weber), who steals church money, treats Sammy with contempt. Tolliver's sister Tallasse (Anne Bobby) likes Sammy, and she confides in Sammy, thinking he can't hear what she's saying. Her father and Sammy's mother, they learn, both loved the Weill-Gershwin song, My Ship. Throughout Barrington, the locals have learned to trust Sammy, but eventually, joyful junkman Thacker (James Earl Jones) stumbles onto Sammy's secret. Bernadette Peters is heard singing My Ship during the closing credits. What the Deaf Man Heard first aired November 23, 1997 on CBS.

Tony N' Tina's Wedding Summary:
A couple from the less fashionable side of New York learns the hard way about the nuts and bolts of staging a wedding in this broad comedy based on the long-running off-Broadway play. Tony (Joey McIntyre) and Tina (Mila Kunis) are a couple from Queens who have decided to take the big step and get married. However, while they have no qualms about matrimony, they're not so sure about their wedding -- Tina's mother (Priscilla Lopez), a widow, and Tony's dad (John Fiore), who split up with Tony's mother some time ago, used to be an item, and they've never gotten over their bitter breakup. As the two families try to put together a social event worthy of their children, the parents are constantly at one another's throat, and as the bride and groom deal with a priest who prefers to do the wedding his own way, a wedding singer who feels requests are beneath his dignity, a wildly eccentric photographer, a pack of brutally hung-over groomsmen, and some unhappy bridesmaids, Tony and Tina begin to wonder if their relationship can survive the wedding -- or if the antagonism of their parents is a sign of things to come. Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding premiered at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.

Beauty and Power tells the sordid tale of Judith Exner (Natasha Henstridge), who claimed to have dated Frank Sinatra (John Ralston) and to have been the mistress of Jack Kennedy (Kevin Anderson, who played also Bobby Kennedy in Hoffa). The story is told in flashback, from Exner's point of view. In voice-overs, Exner breaks her life down into three critical mistakes -- the three major romantic relationships in her life. The first, she explains, was marrying Billy Campbell (Grant Nickalls), who was more concerned with his acting career than with their marriage, and who cheated on her frequently. Her friendship with an L.A.-based mobster leads to an affair with Sinatra, which she breaks off after he tries to involve her in a ménage a trios. She remains friends with Sinatra, and then meets Kennedy while he's just beginning his primary campaign for the presidency, and she soon falls in love with him. At around the same time, she meets Chicago gangster Sam Giancana (Peter Friedman), who falls in love with her and is jealous of her romance with Kennedy. Eventually she becomes a liaison between the presidential candidate and the mob, carrying briefcases of Kennedy money to Giancana for his help with the election. Kennedy professes his love for her and tells her that his marriage is just for show, and that he'll get a divorce if he doesn't win the presidency. Of course, things don't work out the way Exner might have hoped. The FBI begins harassing her, and she grows frustrated with her arrangement with the president. Beauty and Power debuted on Showtime in July 2002. It was directed by Susan Seidelman (Desperately Seeking Susan).
