Clint Eastwood released his war epic FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS only last month, but it seems to have fizzled out of sight due to lackluster reviews (well, lackluster for him, 74% on Rotten Tomatoes isn't anything to be ashamed of) and poor box office (any way you cut it, a $52 million worldwide intake on a $90 million budget is awful, especially with these expectations).
There may be light at the end of the tunnel though. FLAGS told the story of the battle for Iwo Jima during WWII, as well as the effects that propoganda has on the minds of disillusioned soldiers. Eastwood shot it back-to-back with LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA, which shows the battle from the Japanese side. The trailer is up, and in my opinion, it looks better than FLAGS, which I never got around to seeing. Somebody at Warner Brothers thinks so too, and they have bumped up the release date to December 20th, in time for the awards race at the end of the year. I've got no problem with that, seeing how I might be able to see both of them back-t0-back in a theater now (Christmas break, bitches).
That's all for now.
