Tom Hanks is Chuck Noland, a man in a hurry. His job for Federal Express has him traveling the world on a moment`s notice, exhorting the company`s employees to speed things up-- never turn your back on the clock. When he`s suddenly called away for business on Christmas night, his tolerant longtime girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt) drives him to the airport. They have their Christmas in the car--and Chuck plunks an engagement ring into her lap right before he gets on the plane, telling her, I`ll be right back. But an unexpected storm cuts the plane`s crew off from radio contact and blows them off course. Chuck is the sole survivor of the resulting crash, and washes up on a completely deserted island. Stranded there, he must give up everything that he once took for granted and learn how to survive all alone in the wilderness. From director Robert Zemeckis, CAST AWAY is a story of adventure and discovery surrounding one man`s will to stay alive.

Ordinary Decent Criminal (DVD)
Kevin Spacey stars in this Irish crime film as Michael Lynch, the leader and mastermind of a gang of Dublin thieves whose heists often double as unbelievable pranks. Though his inimitable style and generosity with have won him many admirers among the general population, his increasingly brazen robberies have provoked the ire of both the police and the IRA. Vehemently anti-establishment, Lynch refuses to placate either group, a move that complicates things when a stolen Carvaggio proves to be far too hot for him to sell. This misstep gives detective Noel Quigley, who has been after Lynch for years, the chance to catch Ireland`s most famous criminal and forces Lynch to go on the run.R"
