Laura Linney as a schoolteacher who rings the changes after she's
diagnosed with cancer. Reserved suburban wife and mother Cathy
Jamison (Linney) undergoes a transformation following her

own. The episodes are: 'Thin Ice', 'What's Your Story?', 'Bundle of
Joy', 'Family Matters', 'Face Off', 'Life Rights', 'How Bazaar',
'Killjoy', 'Vaya Con Dios' and 'Fly Away'.
Two war dramas directed by Clint Eastwood. 'Flags of Our Fathers'
(2006) is based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers. In
February 1945, even as victory in Europe was finally within reach,
the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and
bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo
Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most
iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising
the American flag on Mount Suribachi. But the surviving flag
raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not
consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front
with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without
fanfare or glory. 'Letters from Iwo Jima' (2006) is based on the
book 'Picture Letters from Commander in Chief' by Tadamichi
Kuribayashi. The island of Iwo Jima stands between the American
military force and the home islands of Japan. Therefore the
Imperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from falling into
American hands and providing a launching point for an invasion of
Japan. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) is given
command of the forces on the island and sets out to prepare for the
imminent attack. General Kuribayashi, however, does not favour the
rigid traditional approach recommended by his subordinates, and
resentment and resistance fester among his staff.
