It's an interesting week, with a lot to watch. The six docs opening theatrically this week are about very different subjects: Terrorist Osama bin Laden and composer Philip Glass, author and ex-priest James Carroll and avant-garde saxophonist Albert Ayler, six throroughbred race horces and their trainers and, as conducted by media personality Ben Stein, an investigative commentary on Darwinism and the Theory of Evolution.

Here are the titles:

• Constantine's Sword (2007) - Follows author James Carroll analysis of the Catholic Church's long-standing history of antisemitism.
• Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008) - Follows media personality Ben Stein surveying the Theory of Intelligent Design, as opposed to the Theory of Evolution.
