Campfire tales
Disney animators probably won't be too pleased by "Pocahontas: Beyond the Myth," a documentary that shatters the fairy-tale premise immortalized in film. That doesn't mean that the American Indian legend comes off as any less heroic. In fact, her real-life tale may be more captivating than anything Hollywood ever cooked up for her.

Like a Rock
Those who missed Chris Rock's three-night stand in Minneapolis can still enjoy the comic's work on a fairly regular basis due to the fact that "Everybody Hates Chris," based on Rock's childhood, is in regular rotation on the Fuse network. The sitcom's star, Tyler James Williams, currently stars on CBS' "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders."

Second chance
"Rock and a Hard Place," a hard-knocks documentary produced by Dwayne Johnson, is set up as a modern-day version of "Scared Straight," with young convicts being steered toward the righteous path with tough love. But the Florida-based program, based on a military boot camp, never really comes across as an effective rehabilitation center, especially when two of the prisoners make a ridiculously easy escape. A more thorough job of following up on the participants might have been more powerful.
