Good films
The Trial of Jeanne d'Arc Is a fascinating film by R.Bresson. It focuses only on the trial transcript, using the words of Joanne d'Arc and her interrogators.
State of the Union by Frank Capra. I am constantly impressed by the quality of films by Frank Capra. This is an intriguing political film, with a good dose of humour. From the black and white era, it is still as relevant as ever.

I have been avidly reading, Alexander: Hall of the Gods , a new novel by G.M. Masterson.
The first 3 chapters, had me hooked as the plot switched from Egyptian Mummies in Victorian Britain, to Oxford University in the present moment. In the tradition of a good page turner, the book has a good pace. However, the story also hints at greater mysteries and underlying sub currents, which give an added interest. Surprisingly, for a book on Egyptian mysteries it is not without a touch of humour; much of this comes from the diverse collection of characters that become intertwined with each other.
You can purchase a copy of: Hall of the Gods online I would highly recommend it.
