No matter if it's the blue, the humpback, or the orca, whales are a favorite of man. It may be their quiet demeanor that captivates us, or the grace with which they move their massive bodies, whichever, we love to watch and learn all we can about these oceanic mammoths. Whales: An Unforgettable Journey is a film that will definitely please all those who have a fondness for the whale. This 52-minute thrill ride was originally filmed in the IMAX format, with the intent to make the viewer feel as if they were in the water actually touching a great blue whale. Directors David Clark, Al Giddings, and Roger Payne have competently put together some of the most stunning footage ever taken of these behemoths. Famed actor Patrick Stewart provides narration for this stunning documentary. The DVD version (from Slingshot Entertainment) is equipped with Internet links and a behind the scenes look at the making of Whales: An Unforgettable Journey. ~ Ed Atkinson, All Movie Guide

I'll Take Romance has nothing to do with the old Grace Moore musical film of the same name. Rather, this 1990 TV movie is about a publicity contest. Dressed in Joan Crawford Chic, Linda Evans plays a Seattle TV meteorologist, assigned to host a contest to find the most romantic man in Puget Sound. Evans' boyfriend Tom Skerritt stews on the sidelines as she wends her way through the studdish contestants. Since Skerritt plays a judge, is there a remote possibility that I'll Take Romance will have a crucial courtroom scene somewhere along the line? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Heart of Midnight is a involving, well-above-average erotic, psychological thriller directed by Matthew Chapman. Carol (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is recovering from a nervous breakdown. She inherits a nightclub from her uncle and moves in. There she discovers strange and frightening secrets about her uncle and begins to remember details of their past relationship. She battles for her sanity as her surroundings begin to seem menacing and she cannot be sure what is real and what is a hallucination. This above-average film features good performances by Peter Coyote and Jennifer Jason Leigh who have an unusual, intriguing sexual chemistry. Viewers should note a small supporting role by Steve Buscemi. Heart of Midnight, offbeat and interesting, is highly recommended. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide
