After this book, Dan Jones is now one of my favorite history writers. If you listen to the audiobook, he's the narrator, and the dude has a nice voice. This book was a good, comprehensive look at the Templars, and gave a good overview of the Crusades in general.

**Disclaimer: This is one of my favorite movies.
This movie holds up through multiple viewings. It's one of a very few (recent movies) concerning the Crusades, which is an interesting era of history. It was a nice balance of both sides of the conflict.

The most recent cinematic take (at the time of writing) of the Robin Hood legend, this is an extremely generic actioner - akin to the recent King Arthur, legend of the sword movie - that attempts to bring the tale to modern audiences.

As such, it touches all the key points - Robin of Locksley, the Crusades, Marian, the sheriff of Nottingham - while also attempting to be more inclusive (John is now a Moor, for example) than that legend.

I'm also not sure about some of the set design or costumes, and Ben Mendehlson (the sheriff) is no Alan Rickman!
