Mongol

Mongol illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan. Based on leading scholarly accounts and Mongol delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. Mongol shows us the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted advisor.

Craving falafel in Springfield

Written on July 22, 2008 at 6:39 pm

This is completely not Moxie related, but I need to get something off my chest...

I've been craving a tzatziki-drenched falafel gyro for the last three days, and apparently no restaurant in Springfield serves them. There WERE three restaurants that USED to serve falafel: Al Roubaie's, Wellspring Cafe, and the Acoustic Cafe, but they've all closed up shop. I called Riad's and Chicago Gyros and Deli to inquire about their falafel-making abilities, but they both acted as if I had asked them if they served poisoned biscuits. Perhaps it's a curse to serve falafel in the Queen City.

If anyone out there knows where I can sate my falafel craving, please PLEASE drop me a line. Thank you.
