  If you enjoy documentaries that show personal journeys and comedy in equal measure the new film from Costa Botes, (who made mockumentary Forgotten Silver with Peter Jackson) may be worth looking out for.

  If you're a fan of astronauts, space travel and the final frontier, you'll probably be interested to know that Warner Brothers are teaming up with NASA this year to put out a documentary about the most recent mission to repair the Hubble telescope in orbit. The movie will be released this March in IMAX 3D, and will be narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio (although he obviously hadn't yet been hired when they were putting together this new trailer). It's hard to say if there is much of a story here or if it's closer to being just another one of those general ...

  Yes, there has been an influx of lists whizzing their way around the internet over the last few months, but there are also far too many great documentaries coming out this year to put into just one post. This is by no means a definitive list or a 'best of' etc. I'm just running with a 10 in 10 gimmick to highlight some particularly interesting documentaries for us to look forward to this year. 1.

  Here's another role-playing documentary to add to the pile alongside Darkon, Drakmar: A Vassal's Journey and Second Skin, among others. We actually caught Keven McAlester's The Dungeon Masters at the Toronto Film Festival back in 2008, and it was decent, although not all of the subjects were entirely compelling. It looks like the movie will finally be getting a release on Amazon VOD in February, followed by iTunes and Netflix, so if you happen to own a twenty-sided die, you're probably the kind of person who might want to give it a look!
