    Being one of the most read and beloved books in the English language, it's no surprise that there have been a few efforts to bring Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudiceto the screen.  There's an entertaining early attempt in 1940, a particularly faithful BBC miniseries in 1982 that I really own and need to revisit one day soon, and of course that Keira Knightleymovie, which was an okay abridgement, though I felt they kind of dropped the ball with Mr. Darcy.  But really, there's little reason to keep taking additional shots at it, because the great Andrew Daviesgot it as right as anyone could ever expect to in 1995.  It's both my personally held opinion and a fairly wide consensus that this is the definitive Pride and Prejudice, and now it's got a pretty definitive blu-ray presentation to suit it.
    This was a pretty massive effort for the BBC at the time; moving their traditional first class literary adaptations out of the sound-stages and mounting a full, Ho

    CNN Millennium or Millennium: A Thousand Years of History or MM Millenium or Millennium is a CNN Perspectives[2] television series or miniseries[1] about world history[4] during the 2nd millennium from the 11th to the 20th centuries.[5]

    Christianity: The First Two-Thousand Years is a documentary originally broadcast on A&E in 1998 and 2000. This DVD release does not add anything new, but it's a decent redogörelse of a solid documentary worth checking out if you haven't already. It's a substantial, weighty treatment of its subject, an approach that is increasingly out of step with the klyschig, overripe "documentary" programs currently seen on The History Channel and other places.

    Divided into two parts (each treating a millennium) and narrated by Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, the 6 hour and 40 minute documentary compiles contemporary film footage, still images of art and architecture, and interviews with scholars and ecclesiasts. The whole fryst vatten expertly edited into a seamless narrative that maintains its complex story while incorporating divergent viewpoints and a relevance to contemporaneous time periods. This ambitious survey tells of Jesus and the Apostles; the fathers of the early Church; medieval Catholic phi
