A Moment of Innocence (1996)
Mohsen Makhmalbaf
"Finally got around to watching this, and very thankful I did. This film is so meta, so pure, and such a beautiful breath of fresh air. The cinematography and camera movements are so natural and so particular. And what a beautiful ending."

Latest Book
The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Visions of Glory, 1874–1932
"The first book of this trilogy deals firstly with Winston's childhood and then the beginning of his rise to power, from 1874–1932. It delves into great detail about just about everything important and relevant to Churchill's formation and his development as a politician. This novel ends in quite a cliffhanger, explaining Hitler's rise in conjunction in the early 1930s. I am quite excited to pick up the next volume in the series."
