...bother to tell your companions, especially if they're children, that Under the Sea 3-D is a documentary. (Perhaps go with "that new Jim Carrey movie," since he narrates.)

These include 6-ft. garden eels who plant themselves en masse in the sea bottom like a field of slithery reeds, the leafy sea dragon, an animal so peculiar-looking E.T. would feel bad for it, and several sequences...

...seat of London government is one of the more striking structures along the Thames. Designed by Foster and Partners, it resembles a giant steel-and-glass egg tilting in the wind. Inside, the spiral staircase at its core seems to float in midair, and the meeting chamber offers breathtaking IMAX-like views of the river. On the roof, solar panels provide power and the building's green credentials...
