The Muslims Are Coming! is a documentary I was very excited to see. The film had its highly anticipated world premiere at the 19th annual Austin Film Festival this year, and I knew very little about this film going in. But since I ended up at the second screening, I had already heard from many festival-goers that this was the "Must-See" movie of the festival.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- The Axis of Evil is unleashing its brand of multicultural humor on the Middle East.
The comic trio of Arab-Americans -- Ahmed Ahmed, Maz Jobrani and Aron Kader -- are on a five-country tour taking them from Beirut and Amman to Cairo and now Dubai, where they will perform Wednesday at one of the local comedy clubs.
They appeared Tuesday at a workshop session during the Dubai International Film Festival to discuss taking stand-up on the road as well as the personal road they've traveled as American entertainers of Middle Eastern origin.
Showtime Arabia, a satcaster backed by Viacom and Kuwaiti conglom Kipco, is funding the group's foreign tour as part of its mission to foster local Middle Eastern talent and to create local programming based on proven Western formats and genres.
In addition, Eric Previn, a Showtime Arabia consultant and longtime U.S. comedy showrunner, told The Hollywood Reporter that the company is producing a feature film and a six-part series about the Axis of Evil's forays abroad, both of which will be pitched stateside as well as air in the Middle East.
