'Afghan Star' is a documentary about the rise of pop culture in Afghanistan today. Apparently they have their own version of 'American Idol' called 'Afghan Star'. However, instead of fame and fortune, they get a little money and death threats.
The cause of Afghanistan is for some reason dear to me, in that I feel as an American that I have a responsibility to help them. If not for the US and USSR back in the '70s, the people of Afghanistan would have continued on their modernization route they were on with the rest of the world. However, thanks to us, they're back in the dark ages again; subjugating women and whoever else can be controlled. Sickening in our modern world.
So, yeah, I liked 'Afghan Star'! This is their first taste of democracy in many years (voting by SMS text). And if this needs to be their first step, then I am glad.

The Hangover ***
Ok, so I've been waiting to see the unrated version..... I still wasn't that impressed. After all of the hype of it being the funniest movie ever, I thought maybe I was missing something. Apparently not.
But yes, 'The Hangover' was really funny. The premise is a bachelor party where they accidentally take some 'ruffies'? and can't remember anything about their night, including where they left the bachelor. So, the movie consists of his three friends re-building the previous night to find the groom. Well done.
And no, don't let the kids see it.

Where the Wild Things Are **3/4
I was strangely really excited about 'Where the Wild Things Are' because it was my favorite book as a child.
All in all, it was pretty good, but did not meet my expectations. I felt like it could have been better. But I'm still glad they made it and perpetuated my favorite childhood book!
