This is an academic book looking in detail at the history of Rwanda and its neighbors and how that led to the 1994 genocide. Despite being difficult to read due to dry writing, I recommend it highly.

Alien
Alien is a good science fiction/horror movie from when I was growing up. It was fun to watch it again.
Pursuit of Happyness
A good movie about a father and a son who survive in homeless shelters while the father is going through a stockbroker internship.
No Country for Old Men
No Country for Old Men is a good movie with a strange, psychopathic villain. I liked it despite the last 15 minutes which felt like an hour or more.
The Third Man
This is a classic thriller set in post-WWII Vienna. Every movie buff should see it.
Rendition
This is a movie about sending a man, suspected to be a terrorist, to another country so that he can be tortured. The practice of extraordinary rendition actually dates from the war on drugs. It’s a good movie, worth watching.
An Inconvenient Truth
Al Gore and the makers of the documentary do a great job in presenting the global warming issue. Highly recommended as it is about a very important issue of our times.
Taxi Driver
Another classic movie that we watched thanks to DVDs and Netflix. We liked it and rate it 8/10.
Stardust
Stardust is a fantasy movie with romance, drama and a lot of comedy. While not exactly what we expected, I liked it.
خدا کے لئے
شعیب منصور کی فلم خدا کے لئے میں میری کی زبردستی شادی اور حبسِ بےجا نے مجھے سب سے متاثر کیا۔ لالیوڈ کی عام فلموں سے بہت مختلف یہ ایک اچھی فلم ہے اور دیکھنے سے تعلق رکھتی ہے۔
