    Flags of Our Fathers

    by saint

    Slow, gratuitous violence (i.e. beheadings), hard to relate to characters and become attached or emotional about them.

    I liked it as did my grandson. It was very close to the book.

    Another long, yet great movie by Clint Eastwood

    by Ern

    Clint Eastwood has become a great director, though something was lost in his most recent film: Flags of Our Fathers.  The movie tells the story of the men who raised the flag in Iwo Jima and the trials they face after returning home.  The movie is well shot and well acted but at times the audience gets lost in the narration.  The movie was only 2 hr and 12 mins long and yet at times felt closer to 6 hours.  

    A beautiful tribute to the men and women who protect our country and our rights, but probably something to wait and rent.
