"The Untold Story: Internment of Japanese Americans in Hawaii" (NR)

This documentary by Ryan Kawamoto delves into the little-known history of World War II confinement camps in the islands. Within 48 hours of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, authorities arrested several hundred local Japanese on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai — Buddhist priests, Japanese-language school officials, newspaper editors and business and community leaders. This was done without any evidence of espionage or sabotage, and no charges were ever filed against them. The film chronicles their stories through oral history, documents, interviews and re-enactments. (At Pearlridge West 16) — Star-Advertiser staff

"The Hangover Part III" (R)

"There are some outrageous lines and sight gags, mostly courtesy of Zach Gali­fianakis and Ken Jeong, who function as central figures this time when, previously, a little bit of them went a long way. But director and co-writer Todd Phillips signals early and often that he’s much more interested than ever before in exploring matters of real consequence, rather than simply mining them for brash laughs. This time, Galifianakis’ insufferable, inappropriate man-child Alan has gone off his meds and is out of control. His family and friends — including fellow "Wolfpack" members Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) — stage an intervention and offer to drive him to a treatment center in Arizona. And so the four venture off on yet another journey."  — Christy Lemire, Associated Press
