Clint Eastwood's completion of the Iwo Jima saga. Here the action
is seen from the Japanese point of view and the film 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.
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

Daniel Craig returns as James Bond 007 in the globe-trotting
franchise for which the term action movie was invented. After being
betrayed by Vesper in Casino Royale, Bond (Craig) turns his sights
on those who controlled her. Interrogating Mr White (Jesper
Christensen), Bond discovers that the shadowy organisation
responsible for blackmailing Vesper is a lot more powerful and
dangerous than he ever imagined. Tracing a link to Hawaii, Bond
soon crosses paths with Ukrainian beauty Camille (Olga Kurylenko)
who leads him to megalomaniacal businessman Dominic Greene (Mathieu
Amalric), head of the organisation known simply as Quantum. Wishing
to control one of the world's natural resources, Greene's
organisation has a finger in every government agency worldwide, and
it falls to Bond to keep one step ahead of his friends, and
enemies, to stop Greene holding the world to ransom.

21st film in the 007 Franchise introduces a new 007 and goes back
to its roots. Daniel Craig stars as the latest incarnation of James
Bond, special agent and international man of mystery and intrigue.
The first Bond film in many years to be based on one of the
original Ian Fleming books, Casino Royale is a quieter, subtler,
more brooding breed of action film, which is not to say there's any
less blowings up, dirty tricks, sexy women or chase sequences. Bond
is in Montenegro at a highly exclusive casino where Le Chiffre
(Mads Mikkelsen) a moneyman for an international terrorist group,
is raising funds for their misdeeds through high-stakes gambling.
007 must infiltrate the group and ultimately defeat the rogue
player, both on and off the tables.
