The Conspirator, directed by Robert Redford explores the trial of one of the accused assassins of Abraham Lincoln. It’s visually stunning and chock-full of excellent actors. Very well done. It’s out now on DVD and BluRay and available at your local Redbox. Check it out.
My nephew Mark and his friends recreated the Battle of Gettysburg as a school project. As a history teacher and an uncle, I have to be very proud.
I may be the last to know about it, but I’m getting in on it now. Over at Royal Reviews they have a series of reading challenges, the newest of which is the Historical Fiction Challenge. Details can be found here. Although it means I’ll have to set aside “Team of Rivals” for a bit, that’s o.k. I’m in.
O.K. I’m going to do the “Book vs. Movie Challenge too. Details are here. The real bummer is that I finished Twilight on Christmas morning.
