Young explorers, the rise of a unicorn, and the first of the two recent defamation trials of the century. These are just some of the highlights this week. Read on to find out more.

Television:

The Famous Five returns to television as a brand new series, following the adventures of young explorers and based on the best-selling novel series.

The Calling may have only had one season (and it looks like it may be the only season), but it's created by television maestro David E. Kelley, and so you can never discount it.

And there were a bunch of these made in the last few years, about the personalities behind start-ups, from eccentricities to cult-like environments, to outright fraudsters. Super Pumped looks at the rise of Uber and its founder Travis Kalanick.

Movies, Documentaries:

Those looking for a movie marathon idea, then you can now do so with the Twilight movies, all of which have just been added.

There's nothing particularly special about the pre Avengers Marvel superhero film Ghost Rider, other than it was shot in Melbourne.

Django Unchained and The Color Purple sort of cover some similar topics, but in very, very different ways (and both are recommended).

The documentary series Surviving R. Kelly returns with two more seasons, dubbed "The Reckoning" and "The Final Chapter".

And finally, the defamation trial of the century, well at least until the current one we're going through, the documentary Revealed: Ben Roberts-Smith - Truth On Trial gives you the low down on how it all unfolded.
