Public Enemies is a 2009 film directed by Michael Mann, an adaptation of Bryan Burrough's non-fiction book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34. The crime drama is set during the Great Depression with the focus on the FBI agent Melvin Purvis's attempt to stop criminals John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd. Christian Bale plays FBI agent Purvis, Johnny Depp plays Dillinger, Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie en rose) plays Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette, and Channing Tatum plays Pretty Boy Floyd. Principal photography began in Columbus, Wisconsin on March 17, 2008 and continued in Chicago, Illinois; Oshkosh, Wisconsin; Beaver Dam, Wisconsin; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Madison, Wisconsin; and several other places in Wisconsin until the end of June 2008, including the Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, the actual location of a 1934 gun fight between Dillinger and the FBI. Some parts of the film were shot in Crown Point, Indiana, the town where Dillinger was imprisoned and subsequently escaped from jail.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an upcoming science fiction action film due for release on June 19, 2009 in the United Kingdom, and June 24, 2009 in North America. It is the sequel to 2007's Transformers, which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. The film introduces many more robots and the scope has been expanded to numerous countries, the most important of which is Egypt.

Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers something about the origins of the Transformers and their history on Earth after receiving visions from a remaining piece of the Allspark. The evil Decepticons need to capture him for information. The climactic battle takes place at the Giza pyramid complex, where a temple is located within. Lorenzo di Bonaventura explained the film will start before the pyramids were built, tying the Transformers to the beginning of civilization, and implying that "all our heroes end up here because of the Decepticons' master plan." Furthermore, Egyptian hieroglyphs resembling helicopters and other present day vehicles in real life will be explained in the film as being depictions of those Ancient Cybertronians who visited Earth.

Bay explained the battle at Mission City did not expose the Transformers to the public. "Everybody has gone ahead. It's realistic. Two weeks after the tsunami nobody talked about it anymore. It's very weird. We decided to do the same with the Transformers. The government talks about a military thing, says all is false, that it's a joke, and people don't know what they really saw." Orci cited the Phoenix Lights incident as an inspiration for how the Transformers manage to stay covert after the previous film, and added it was an interesting idea for how would the government "hide Optimus Prime". The human soldiers have joined the Autobots' ranks in a team called NEST (Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers in the tie-in novel  or Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Team on official film tie-in web sites). A government front called McClaren Robotics covers up the robot sightings, and they have an Allspark shard kept in storage in NEST headquarters, in Diego Garcia

The Stoning of Soraya M. (Persian: .سنگسار ثريا م)  is a 2009 drama film adapted from French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam's 1994 novel of the same name. The film is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh and stars Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo, as well as James Caviezel and Mozhan Marnò. Stoning had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it was the runner-up for the Audience Choice Award and was the second runner-up for the Cadillac People's Choice Award. Stranded in a remote Iranian village, Sahebjam is approached by Zahra, a woman with a harrowing tale to tell about her niece, Soraya, and the bloody circumstances of her death just two weeks before. Her story exposes the dark power of mob rule, uncivil law, and the lack of rights for women. Her last and only hope for justice lies in the hands of the journalist who must escape with the story—and his life—in order to communicate the violence to the world.
Chéri is 2009 French/British/German drama film directed by Stephen Frears. Starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend, it is an adaptation of the novel by French author Colette. The film premiered at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival. Set in 1900s Paris, Cheri tells the story of the end of a six-year affair between an aging retired courtesan, Léa, and a flamboyant young man, Chéri. Turning stereotypes upside-down, it is Chéri who wears silk pyjamas and Léa's pearls, and who is the object of gaze.

My Sister's Keeper  is an upcoming 2009 film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Jodi Picoult starring Cameron Diaz and Alec Baldwin, with Nick Cassavetes directing. It will be released in both the US and the UK on June 26, 2009. It will star Cameron Diaz as Sara and Alec Baldwin as Campbell.

Year One  is a 2009 comedy film directed by Harold Ramis, and produced by Judd Apatow. The film stars Jack Black and Michael Cera, and features Christopher Mintz-Plasse as the Biblical Isaac and Hank Azaria as the Biblical patriarch Abraham. The film will be released in North America on June 19, 2009.

After being banished from their homeland, Zed and Oh (Jack Black and Michael Cera), two tribesmen, embark on a journey through their ancient world. Along the way, they encounter Adam and Eve (Harold Ramis and Rhoda Griffis), Cain and Abel (David Cross and Paul Rudd), and Abraham (Hank Azaria).

In an interview regarding Be Kind Rewind, Black stated that Year One will be about two men running around in Moses's time. He said that the movie is similar to Monty Python's Life of Brian. Black stated that it might be fun to see all the stories of the Bible in a modern movie.

In an interview with MTV, Cera described it as a comedy set in Biblical times with Black's character, Zed, looking for some kind of meaning for his life. Black warned viewers expecting a comedy along the lines of Ghostbusters or Knocked Up that the style of the film is much more along the lines of the Monty Python movies.

Whatever Works is an upcoming 2009 comedy film written and directed by Woody Allen. The film is a comedy featuring Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, Patricia Clarkson, Kristen Johnston, Ed Begley, Jr., Michael McKean, and Henry Cavill. David stars as Boris Yelnikoff, an eccentric, misanthropic chess teacher from Greenwich Village who comes home one night and finds a young woman (Evan Rachel Wood) lying on his doorstep. He takes her in for the night and eventually marries her, despite their 40 year age difference and her absent mindedness. His philosophy on the matter is that life is short so he might as well enjoy himself.

The movie was filmed in New York City, marking Allen's return to his native city after a four-film sojourn in Europe. "It's very classic Woody Allen but it's still different than anything he's done," revealed Wood in a December 2008 interview. Woody Allen has subsequently revealed that the script itself was written in the early 70's, with Zero Mostel in mind for Boris, but that the script was soon shelved after the actors death in 1977. 30 years later, Allen resurfaced the script in an attempt to create a film before a potential threat of an Actors Guild strike. Allen barely changed the script from how it was written in the late '70s before filming, keeping all but the references to 8 Tracks and LPs.

On February 2, 2009, Variety reported that Sony Pictures Classics had purchased U.S. distribution rights to Whatever Works. Sony will release the film on June 19, 2009.

It premiered on April 22, 2009, at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.

The film's first segment examines the industrial production of meat, calling it inhumane and economically and environmentally unsustainable. The second segment looks at the industrial production of grains and vegetables, labeling this economically and environmentally unsustainable. The film's third and final segment is about the economic and legal power of the major food companies, whose livelihoods (the filmmakers say) are based on supplying cheap but contaminated food, the heavy use of petroleum-based chemicals (largely pesticides and fertilizers), and the promotion of unhealthy food consumption habits by the American public.

Little Ashes : In 1922, 18-year old Salvador Dalí (Robert Pattinson) arrives at university in Madrid. The Residencia de Estudiantes, or student residences, is a modern environment which encourages Spain's brightest young minds. Salvador, who is determined to become a great artist, soon catches the attention of the Resi's social elite – poet Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltran) and aspiring filmmaker Luis Buñuel (Matthew McNulty). Together they form the nucleus of the most modern group in Madrid.

Their private lives become increasingly complex as Federico ignores the advances of devoted friend and writer Magdalena (Marina Gatell), and Salvador himself feels the pull of García Lorca's magnetism. Luis, becoming increasingly isolated by the duo's closeness, decides to move to Paris to fulfill his own artistic ambitions. Meanwhile, Salvador and Federico leave Madrid to spend the summer at the seaside village of Cadaques, at the home of Dalí's family.

Federico finds himself accepted[1] into the Dalí family as he and Salvador grow closer until, one night, their friendship becomes more.[2] Even as they draw closer, their relationship appears doomed. Luis visits them at university and becomes more suspicious and appalled by their apparent closeness.

Dalí finds García Lorca's obsession with him more than he is prepared to handle and moves to Paris. Consumed by the high society and decadence, Dalí is soon entangled with Gala (Arly Jover) a married woman with a penchant for celebrities. When García Lorca visits, he finds his friend is a changed man, in his life and his politics.

Drag Me to Hell, is a 2009 American horror film written and directed by Sam Raimi, and co-written by his brother Ivan Raimi. It stars Alison Lohman and Justin Long. The film is set to be released on May 29, 2009. With his last horror film 1987's Evil Dead II, the feature marks Raimi's first directorial horror film in 22 years.

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is a loan officer with a good job and a promising future. With a promotion up in the air between her and another employee, her boss, Mr. Jacks (David Paymer), advises her that she needs to demonstrate she can make "the hard calls" and make tough decisions. When Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver), an elderly Slavic woman, asks for a third extension on her mortgage, Christine, against her better instincts, denies her in an attempt to prove herself. In desperation, Ganush prostrates herself before Christine, begging and kissing the hem of her skirt. As a crowd of customers and employees gathers, Christine panics and shoves the woman away, gravely insulting her.

That night, in a parking garage, Ganush, enraged and humiliated, exacts revenge by pulling Christine out of her car, and rips one of the buttons on her jacket off before using it to place a curse upon her. Shaken by this confrontation, but sure that no further harm will come of it, Christine tries to forget what has happened and move on with her life- that is until she is haunted around the clock by a mysterious and terrifying entity that only she can see. She confides in her boyfriend, Clay Dalton (Justin Long), however, he is too skeptical to believe her stories about terrifying demons that are constantly terrorizing her.

Christine keeps having frightening encounters with a deformed Ganush, who is making her life a living hell. As her relationship starts to fall apart and her job starts to crumble, Christine becomes increasingly scared. Mr. Jacks starts to think that she may be suffering from psychiatric troubles and starts to confront her himself. With nobody to believe her, Christine makes a last desperate attempt to prove her sanity by consulting a psychic, Rham Jas (Dileep Rao), who tells her that she has been cursed and that she is to be tortured for three days by a demon called the Lamia before being dragged to hell to burn for eternity. Horrified by this revelation, Christine begins a race against time to save her soul from damnation, trying various methods to beat the curse. Finally, she is told that the only way to get rid of the curse is to give the item Ganush cursed (the jacket button) to someone else. Christine ends up giving the button, in a sealed envelope, to the corpse of Ganush, who died shortly after cursing Christine.

Relieved that she beat the curse, Christine goes to a train station to meet Clay. He then reveals to her that she grabbed the wrong envelope, and he had the envelope-sealed button on him. Shocked, Christine falls onto the train tracks while a train is coming towards her. Before she gets hit, however, demonic hands pop out of the ground, and all Clay can do is watch in horror as they pull Christine into hell, graphically incinerating her skin in the process.

Terminator Salvation,  is a 2009 American science fiction post-apocalyptic war film set for release on May 21, 2009 in United States, June 3, 2009 in the UK, and June 4, 2009 in Australia. Directed by McG, it is the fourth film in the Terminator series and stars Christian Bale as John Connor and Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright, a cyborg who believes he is human.

Being both a sequel and a prequel to the previous films, Salvation, set in 2018, focuses on the war between humanity and Skynet. It abandons the format of previous entries in the series, which only revolved around Terminators and various other characters traveling through time to either kill or protect John Connor before the events of Judgment Day unfold. It is the first film in the series to receive the PG-13 certificate in the USA, and the second to receive a 12A certificate in the UK.

Outrage, from Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick comes OUTRAGE, a searing indictment of the hypocrisy of closeted politicians with appalling gay rights voting records who actively campaign against the LGBT community they covertly belong to. Boldly revealing the hidden lives of some of the United States' most powerful policymakers, OUTRAGE takes a comprehensive look at the harm they've inflicted on millions of Americans, and examines the media's complicity in keeping their secrets.

 

With analysis from prominent members of the gay community such as Congressman Barney Frank, former NJ Governor Jim McGreevey, activist Larry Kramer, radio personality Michelangelo Signorile, and openly gay congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (Representative, Wisconsin 2nd district), OUTRAGE probes deeply into the psychology of this double lifestyle, the ethics of outing closeted politicians, the double standards that the media upholds in its coverage of the sex lives of gay public figures, and much more.

The world's greatest con men, the Brothers Bloom, have made a living off of swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. Stephen (Ruffalo) and Bloom (Brody), and their silent partner and sidekick Bang-Bang (Kikuchi) team up for one last job, conning beautiful heiress Penelope (Weisz) by taking her on a tour of the world and relieving her of US$2.5 million. On the way, Bloom (who has no first name in the entire movie) falls for Penelope, which complicates the con severely.

 Star Trek: The Future Begins is a 2009 science fiction film directed by J. J. Abrams, written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and produced by Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk. It is the eleventh film based on the Star Trek franchise and features the main characters of the original Star Trek series, who are portrayed by a new cast. It explores the backstories of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto), before they unite aboard the USS Enterprise to combat Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan from the future who threatens the United Federation of Planets. The film will be released in conventional theaters and some IMAX theaters on May 7, 2009. In North America, it will open May 8 following advance screenings starting at 7pm the night before.

 

Development of the film began in 2005 when Paramount Pictures contacted Abrams, Orci and Kurtzman for ideas to revive the franchise. The creative team contrasted Orci and Lindelof, who consider themselves "Trekkies", with casual fans like Abrams, who all aimed to create a film that would interest a general audience. They wanted to be faithful to Star Trek canon, but they also introduced elements of their favorite novels, modified continuity with the time travel storyline, and modernized the production design of the original show. Filming took place from November 2007 to March 2008 under intense secrecy. Midway through the shoot, Paramount chose to delay the release date from December 25, 2008 to May 7 (May 8 in North America), 2009, believing the film could reach a wider audience.

Two Lovers

Two Lovers is a romantic drama, loosely based on Dostoevsky's "White Nights". Two Lovers stars Joaquin Phoenix, in what he claims will be his final movie before pursuing a music career full time, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Vinessa Shaw. It is directed by James Gray and set in Brighton Beach in New York City. The movie premiered in competition at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival last May. This film is director James Gray's third to enter competition at this festival, his first love story and is a radical departure from his typically Gotham-like crime films.

If love were currency, this would ultimately be a rags to riches story- with a just the right amount of suffering along the way. What happens to people who want what they can't, and maybe shouldn't, have and when it finally becomes available they pounce only to be made a fool of again? What happens when someone else was the right person for you all along?

The movie begins with Leonard Kraditor (Joaquin Phoenix), who is so clinically depressed that he can't even get suicide right, jumping off of a bridge. Two Lovers quickly evolves into a complicated New York narrative, reminiscent of the high quality story telling seen in screenplays written by Woodie Allen like Annie Hall and Play it Again Sam.
