First Lines: John Dickson Carr - The Hollow Man
To the murder of Professor Grimaud, and later the equally incredible crime in Cagliostro Street, many fantastic terms could be applied - with reason.
Captain Cook: Obsession and Discovery (2007)
Documentary tells the story of the life & times of Captain James Cook.
Elaborate 4-part TV documentary worth the watch due to the sheer scope of the enterprise (and visiting the multiple landing points) and the details of a controversial historic figure.
Message in a Bottle (1999)
A woman discovers a tragic love letter in a bottle on a beach, and is determined to track down its author.
Unrestrained tearjerker on the verge of parody, not for the squeamish.
Halliwell (no star): "Soporific and soft-centred romantic drama that is yet another nail in the coffin of Costner's career."
Maltin**1/2: "Sappy, old-fahioned romance...Too long, too slow, but enjoyable escapism if you buy into it, with Wright Penn nicely cast against type, and Newman in fine form as Costner's starchy father."
