Criticize This!

MOVIE REVIEW: The Kite Runner (2007)

 The Kite Runner is proof that A-list stars and a big budget can’t compete with good old-fashioned storytelling.

Working from Khaled Hosseini’s popular novel and employing a cast of virtual unknowns, director Marc Forster has created a vibrant and emotional film about friends, family, honour, and redemption.

Afghan-born Amir (Khalid Abdalla) is a successful writer living in America with a loving wife – he’s celebrating the publication of his latest novel when an old acquaintance calls him from his native country asking him to return, and intoning, “There is a way to be good again.”

About the book:

There are so many reasons to Just Say No to Microsoft—the blue screen of death, Outlook email viruses, the never-ending influx of Windows patches... And yet, with Microsoft owning the lion’s share of the desktop market, how can anyone escape the Beast from Redmond and still function? It’s not as hard as you think, and author Tony Bove is only too happy to show you how to become liberated.
