other title: 美国印象.南北战争之殇
Chronological look at the life and career of Johnny Carson (1925-2005), with commentary from an ex-wife and more than 30 fellow comedians, friends, employees, and biographers. The biography defines why Carson was an enduring star (his cool, his timing, his genuine laugh, his breadth of knowledge) and pursues his motivations and inner self (a loner with a drinking problem, a decent Midwesterner whose mother withheld approval, a quiet person who loved to entertain). The key to understanding him, argues the biography, is his love of magic.

other title: 雷曼兄弟最后的日子 / 리먼 브러더스의 마지막 날들 …
这是 BBC 拍摄的第2部有关2008年金融海啸的剧情片了，上一部Free Fall是纯剧情片，这一部片头字幕称除了部份虚构的对话外，大部份情节是基于公开记录。这部片子所说的是2008年9月12日星期五到14日星期天这3天“雷曼兄弟的最后日子”。主要故事线索是美国财政部长Hank Paulson召集几家美国最大的投资银行CEO密会，要他们在3天内拿出拯救 Lehman Brothers方案，同时Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fulk 垂死挣扎试图保住银行的过程。 用成名演员(James Cromwell 演 Hank Paulson、Corey Johnson演Dick Fuld、Ben Daniels演John Thain、Alex Jennings演的是Tim Geithner)饰演角色，让这部剧摆脱了“事件重演”(reconstruction)的纪录片形象，而成为兼有法律剧的唇枪舌剑和阴谋片的悬疑和勾心斗角。 然而奇怪的是，Lehman Brothers 最终无法摆脱倒闭命运，是因为英国Barclays银行的最后退出，但在剧中却只是一笔带过，仅由Hank Paulson接听一个电话后向会议室内的众人宣布而已。一部由BBC拍摄的电视剧、却完全没有英国方面的角色和镜头，当时在美联储的 Barclays总裁Bob Diamond也没有出现，让这部电视剧有不完整的感觉。也许是需要BBC星期四播出的纪录片The Love of Money系列中的 The Bank That Bust the World来解释清楚了。

迪克·劳瑞 actor: 詹姆斯·克伦威尔 / 康妮·赛勒卡 …
other title: 九霄惊魂
"Miss, what's that?" the kid asked the stewardess, pointing to a small crack that he noticed in celing above him. At that point, the crack widens and the entire roof of the airplane is ripped off. Based on a true story. On April 28, 1988, Aloha Airlines flight 243, halfway between Big Island and Maui, suddenly lost an 18-foot section of its front fuselage, due to metal fatigue. At 24,000 feet of altitude, the sudden decompression leaves room for panic in the cabin. But in the flight deck, Captain Schornstheimer and First Officer Tompkins are faced with the difficult task of safely landing the crippled, barely-controllable airliner, as the title says.
