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.

Clerks II / Clerks 2: Hardly Clerkin (2006)
Comedy
Ten years ago best friends Dante Hicks and Randal Graves were New Jersey mini- mall clerks still slacking off together in their early 20s. Now working in the fast-food universe, Dante and Randal have managed to maintain, and even hone, their in- your-face attitudes, agile skill with vulgarities and unbridled love of screwing the customers. But they're also faced with such shocking prospects as marriage, leaving Jersey and finding real careers. Dante and Randal invade the world of Mooby's fast food restaurant, where the slogan is "I'm Eating It." Behind the counter, where the only other employees are an uber-nerd and an entirely too sexy manager, Dante and Randal are free to offend anybody and everybody who so much as orders fries in their inimitably irreverent way. But, even as riotous debates rage between them over such burning matters as George Lucas v. Peter Jackson v. Jesus, change is on the horizon. When Dante announces that he's going to leave Jersey forever and marry Emma Bunting, Randal plots a going-away party so shocking it will draw the police, the fire department and potential protests from PETA, while altering their lives forever.

When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart Peeta, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.
