One Missed Call One Missed Call
Ever since the Ring was made from Ringu it opened the eyes of film companies and a trend of remaking Japan horror films was born. An English language remake of the Japanese thriller about a group of young people who start receiving voice mails from the future which includes the date, time and details of their deaths. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and terror, frightening images, some sexual material and thematic elements.

The Killing of John Lennon
John Lennon the front man and founder of The Beatles was murdered in New York City on December 8th, 1980 by Mark David Chapman. Chapman shot Lennon with a .38 caliber handgun. The Killing of John Lennon is a dramatization of Mark Champman's plan to murder John Lennon. The film is written and directed by Andrew Piddington and is starring Jonas Ball as Chapman.
The Killing of John Lennon

The Counterfeiters (Fälscher, Die) The Counterfeiters (Fälscher, Die)
The Counterfeiters is the true story of the largest counterfeiting operation in history, set up by the Nazis in 1936. Salomon "Sally" Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics) is the king of counterfeiters. He lives a mischievous life of cards, booze, and women in Berlin during the Nazi-era. Suddenly his luck runs dry when arrested by Superintendent Friedrich Herzog (Devid Striesow). Immediately thrown into the Mauthausen concentration camp, Salomon exhibits exceptional skills there and is soon transferred to the upgraded camp of Sachsenhausen. Upon his arrival, he once again comes face to face with Herzog, who is there on a secret mission. Hand-picked for his unique skill, Salomon and a group of professionals are forced to produce fake foreign currency under the program Operation Berhard. The team, which also includes detainee Adolf Burger (August Diehl), is given luxury barracks for their assistance. But while Salomon attempts to weaken the economy of Germany's allied opponents, Adolf refuses to use his skills for Nazi profit and would like to do something to stop Operation Bernhard's aid to the war effort. Faced with a moral dilemma, Salomon must decide whether his actions, which could prolong the war and risk the lives of fellow prisoners, are ultimately the right ones.
