Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Sensor Matic; Blue-Ray Included; Special Edition The magical story of Forrest Gump, a sweet-natured idiot savant from rural Alabama. As he goes down the road of life, mouthing pithy and quotable homilies, he encounters luminaries such as John Lennon, Elvis Presley and JFK. But all the while he can't forget one special girl from his childhood... The title character leads viewers through an accidental travelogue of American social history from the early 1960s through the present in this revisionist fable. Vietnam, desegregation, Watergate, and more are presented from the perspective of Tom Hanks's loveably slow-witted Forrest Gump as he finds himself embroiled in situations he can't quite comprehend. Hanks leads an excellent cast, featuring Robin Wright Penn as Jenny, Forrest's lifelong love; Gary Sinise as the irascible Lt. Dan, his Vietnam superior; Mykelti Williamson as Bubba, a shrimp-loving soldier; and Sally Fields as his devoted mother. Robert Zemeckis's emotional, heartwarming film garnered 13 Academy Award nominations and six wins, including Best Picture, Director, Actor--Tom Hanks, and Adapted Screenplay. Theatrical release: July 6, 1994.
FORREST GUMP made more than $325 million at the domestic box office and more than $675 million worldwide.
The famous, oft-quoted line said by Forrest Gump in the film: "Life is like a box of chocolates," is a total reworking of the original line in the novel which reads: "Let me say this: bein' an idiot is no box of chocolates."
"To make Sinise appear to be a double amputee, the filmmakers relied on a combination of computer artistry, a trick wheelchair that hid Sinise's legs from the knees down and a limber actor... Sinise did suffer a minor leg injury while making 'Gump,' ironically during a scene in which Forrest (Tom Hanks) carries him out of the Vietnam jungle. 'My inner thigh kept bouncing on his shoulder. It was like taking a jackhammer to it,' says Sinise. 'I developed a huge contusion and couldn't bend my leg to get into the wheelchair.'" -- USA TODAY, July 7, 1994

Forrest Gump review
$10.19 The grisly and debauched film PATHOLOGY is a juiced-up medical thriller that plays like FLATLINERS with a mean streak and a broken moral compass. Writers Mark Nelvedine and Brian Taylor have created a premise allowing for CSI-like forensics along with heaps of sex and violence, truly making the most of the film's R-rating. A high-end exploitation film with good performances, PATHOLOGY is strong enough for horror fans and should go down smoothly for non-squeamish viewers with a taste for the dark side.
Gifted med student Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia, HEROES) arrives at a major Washington, D.C., as an intern, where he is met with suspicion and resentment by the tightly knit group of fellow young pathologists-in-training. Soon, though, Ted is accepted into their circle---where they each take turns committing a murder so that the others may prove their mettle by figuring out the cause of death and celebrate with drug-fueled orgies among the dead bodies in the hospital. Things change for Ted, though, when his law student fiancée, Gwen (Alyssa Milano), moves to the city and helps to scare him straight. Soon, crazed Wallace Stevens-quoting leader Jake Gallo (Michael Weston) turns on Ted, putting both Ted's and Gwen's lives in serious jeopardy. The film opens with the Hippocratic Oath, and it's easy to tell that PATHOLOGY is going to show us doctors behaving badly, and the film is in fact almost gleefully immoral, with an attractive young cast that engages in almost any kind of forbidden behavior one can imagine. Showing that he isn't afraid to take on risky roles, Ventimiglia may surprise his young fans. Director Marc Schoelermann's taste for realism extends to several convincing corpses dissected in close-up, and could prove too much for some viewers, but for others this is the kind of film for which unrated releases were invented.
Milo Ventimiglia and Alyssa Milano star in this limited-release movie about medical students who attempt to commit the perfect murder. Bon

Forrest Gump DVD
$13.55 Marcel Langenegger makes his feature-film directorial debut with the aptly titled DECEPTION, a film about secrets and lies. Jonathan McQuarry (Ewan McGregor) feels that life is passing him by. He completes short-term audits for a large firm, but doesn't really feel any connection to his employer and finds it difficult to make friends at his assignments since he's never there for long. Jonathan's circumstances change overnight when charming lawyer Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman) befriends him. In an instant, the shy accountant is playing doubles tennis with his new friend and beautiful women and visiting upscale clubs. Just as mild-mannered Jonathan is getting used to his new lifestyle, Wyatt leaves town on business. When Jonathan finds himself mistakenly in possession of Wyatt's cell phone, he also discovers a whole new world of anonymous sex in elite Manhattan hotels with powerful women known simply as "The List." But soon Jonathan is in over his head: he's the prime suspect when a woman goes missing, and the threat of extortion looms.
This tale weaves an intricate web of lies and treachery. Jackman is both charming and chilling as Wyatt, a man utterly without conscience, while McGregor falls easily into character as the bespectacled Everyman, Jonathan. Nerdy but likable, Jonathan really just wants to connect with someone. Along the way, he learns that he is capable of more than he ever expected. Michelle Williams stars as Jonathan's love interest, looking far more glamorous than she did in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. Lisa Gay Hamilton, Maggie Q, Natasha Henstridge, and Charlotte Rampling also make brief appearances in the film, which is set primarily in New York City with a side trip to Madrid.
Michelle Williams, Hugh Jackman, and Ewan McGregor star in this sexual thriller.

| | Tom Green Show - Early Exposures: Raw Meat & Rare Treats DVD (2001)
Forrest Gump review
$7.15 In 1993, young Canadian skatepunk Tom Green booked time on an local Ottawa cable station and put on an uninhibited show with his friends. Armed with a camera, and flanked by his pal Glenn Humplik, Green brought pure comedic insanity to the airwaves for three years before going national in 1997 and, finally, global on MTV in 1999. EARLY EXPOSURE collects some of the best moments of Tom's early years, including the infamous "house painting" incident.
Spanked onto this program is the outrageous best of Tom Green's early years! Armed with a camera and a complete lack of inhibition, Green developed his own brand of "Street Theatre of the Absurd." Along with Glenn Humplik, whom he met while spinning his web of wackiness on a college radio station, Green's no-budget show built a cult following that went national on Canada's Comedy Network in 1997 and then went North American on MTV in 1999.

Forrest Gump DVD
$8.79 Alone, John Mayall is a blues musician to be reckoned with--an impressive force of longing emotion. But on one very special night in 1982, his musical power was heightened tenfold by a bevy of great performers who accompanied him in concert. On a warm summer stage in the Garden State, Mayall is joined by five legends of the blues: Albert King, Buddy Guy, Etta James, Junior Wells, and Sippie Wallace. In addition, he is accompanied throughout the set by the Rolling Stones' Mick Taylor and Fleetwood Mac's John McVie. The 90-minute set starts with a bang and never lets up, ending with a gripping rendition of the "C.C. Rider Jam" performed by all the guests together.
One hot night in June, 1982 at New Jersey's Capitol Theater, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, featuring Mick Taylor, John McVie and Colin Allen were joined by blues Immortals Etta James, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, Sippie Wallace and Albert King, resulting in some amazing musical moments. Awesome is the only word to describe the guitar jams among Albert King, Buddy Guy and Mick Taylor.

Forrest Gump film
$18.35 Being a single girl isn't all it's cracked up to be, as Donna (Sharon Horgan) discovers when she calls off her wedding and moves in with fellow bachellorettes Karen (Tanya Franks) and Louise (Rebekah Stanton). Alcoholic overindulgence and one-night-stands lead to the same cringe-inducing comedy that made THE OFFICE so popular. This collection presents the first season of the British series.
The complete 6-part season of the BBC/Sundance Channel comedy hit. Series creator Sharon Horgan stars as twenty-something bride-to-be Donna, who decides to ditch her dull but dependable fiance during a disastrous bachelorette party. But when she moves in with her two best friends - sluttish alcoholic schoolteacher Karen (Tanya Franks) and desperately man-hungry Louise (Rebekah Stanton) - she plunges head first into the single girl's real world of public drunkenness, shameful promiscuity, crippling guilt and the tantalizing possibilities of new love. Cavan Clerkin co-stars in this BBC cult sensation that has been hailed as one of the most hilariously dark adult comedies of the decade.
