BBC - Jesus: The Real Story (2006)

3 part documentary on the historical context in which the biblical stories of Jesus took place. Interesting.

Nat Geo - Megastructures: World Island Wonder (2007)

Interesting documentary describing Dubai's World Island project and the challenges in its construction - finding the right sand for the islands, the irony of not being able to use desert sand, building a tide break to protect the islands from erosion, arranging adequate water flow so it doesn't turn into a swamp, and planning an efficient water transportation network once the islands are populated. Informative and well made.

The Runaways (2010)

A film about the 1970's all girl band, as experienced through the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. Not bad.

Fading of the Cries (2011)

A waste of everyone's time. Avoid.

An American Tail (1986)

A Don Bluth classic. Good for kids. Not sure if it ages well.
