A couple days ago, my husband and I went to go see Religulous, a satirical documentary by comedian Bill Maher on organized religion and the problems it brings about. I'm not going to go into details about it because I'm not up for turning this thread into a religious debate, but I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I give it 4 of 5 stars. Bill Maher brings up some interesting points, and the film really does fall more under the genre of comedy than documentary.
I also watched The Kite Runner for the first time a couple weeks ago and loved it. It's a very powerful and moving story of a boy from Kabul, Afghanistan who is haunted by the guilt of abandoning his childhood friend. If the book is anything like the movie, I can see why it did so well. It's a really, really great story, and I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a drama so much. 4.5 of 5 stars.
