Jersey Shore Shark Attack (2012)
Action | Sci-Fi
Many years ago, hundreds of locals and tourists were massacred by giant man-eating sharks in the infamous 1916 Jersey Shore attacks. But that's just a legend… or is it? It's a holiday weekend on the Jersey Shore and, unbeknownst to anyone, underwater drills have attracted dozens of albino bull sharks to the pier. When a man goes missing, TC (The Complication), Nookie and friends fear the worst and plead with the police chief to close down the beach. It isn't until a famous singer is eaten alive during a performance on the pier that the shark hunt begins. Now, the Preppies must work together with the Guidos in order to save the Jersey Shore and its inhabitants from another vicious slaughter.

Mythos Amazonas (TV Series 2010)
Documentary
Die 3-teilige Doku-Serie entführt den Zuschauer in die Welt des grössten Regenwaldes der Erde. In eine Region, die den ersten Europäern, die sie betraten, Furcht einflösste. Für sie war der Amazonas eine grüne Hölle. Heute weiss man, wie artenreich und einmalig das Gebiet ist und welch wichtige Rolle es für das Klima spielt. Drei Jahre verbrachte das Produktions-Team am Amazonas. Auf einer Fläche, etwa 20mal so gross wie Deutschland, legten sie tausende Kilometer zu Fuss, in Booten, in Flugzeugen oder Helikoptern zurück. Die Mühe lohnte sich: Zeitlupen, stabilisierte Flugaufnahmen, Makro- und Unterwassershots sowie Kranfahrten lieferten 400 Stunden Filmmaterial in HD Qualität, darunter einzigartige Aufnahmen und spektakuläres, nie zuvor gefilmtes Tierverhalten.

The Message (1977)
Adventure | Biography | Drama | History | War
Handsomely-mounted historical epic concerns the birth of the Islamic faith and the story of the prophet Mohammed — who, in accordance with the tenants of Islam, is never to be depicted (as this is against certain Islamic schools of thought). In Mecca in the 7th century, Mohammed is visited by a vision of the Angel Gabriel, who urges him to lead the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols of Kaaba and instead worship the one true God, speaking out against the corrupt political and military leaders who rule Mecca. With the help of his uncle, a brave warrior named Hamza (Anthony Quinn), Mohammed and his followers return to Mecca to liberate the city in the name of God. The Message (originally screened in the U.S. as Mohammed, Messenger of God) proved to be highly controversial during its production and initial release. Unfounded rumors had it that Mohammed would not only be depicted in the film, but that he was to be played by Charlton Heston or Peter O'Toole. This resulted in protests by some Muslim, until director Moustapha Akkad hired a staff of respected Islamic clerics as technical advisors. The Message was shot in two versions, one in English and one in Arabic (entitled Al-Ris-Alah), with different actors taking over some of the roles due to language requirements.
Starring: Anthony Quinn, Irene Papas, Michael Ansara, Johnny Sekka, Michael Forest

Sudden Impact (1983)
Action | Crime | Drama | Thriller
Sensitive to outcries of police brutality, the superiors of San Francisco Detective Harry Callahan have sent him on an out-of-town assignment until things cool down. But wherever Harry goes, things just get hotter. Clint Eastwood hits the mark again in Sudden Impact, which he also directs. Harry's older and dirtier, and the world hasn't gotten better. Which means this fourth Dirty Harry movie is explosively exciting, as Callahan tracks a traumatised rape victim (Sondra Locke) coldly gunning down her bygone attackers. Through the five Callahan films, the lawman always struck a powerful chord. But Sudden Impact is particularly potent, fuelled by the line that became a notional catchphrase: "Go ahead. Make my day."
