In a somewhat innovative move, the pair examine both sides of the battle for Iwo Jima: Letters from Iwo Jima from the (losing) Japanese perspective, while Flags of Our Fathers shows the (victorious, obviously) American view. I found Letters to be a fair effort, if undeserving of some of the praise and nominations it garnered, but the consensus seems to have it that this first half isn’t as good.

I often wondered about the end. How did they get away so easy a quick agaist odds and had no one to chase them off? Of course the other under logical (forgive my poor term here) scense are also this way in this film. However, this set aside believe this movie did its tole on the younger generation as I remember when this movie came out and I was about 10 at the time and could not see it, but the other kids got to see it. It became one of my favorites due to this and the nature of it being a "scrappy naration and screen play" was the reason for people to like it, cuase they figured they could do something like this and we played out the movie, or at least tried to, as kids. The legend of Billy the Kid became a icon for me as I began my fasination with the Old West. For me, despite the things said here, it was a "classic" and a style all its own for a generation of younger people. For that reason alone it caused the spin-off of the even more illogical sequel where Billy The Kid lives a full life...its roots in this earned it it's own distiction as a different western of a more modern time...

Wondered what the hell I was watching and thinking how dangerous flicking channels late at night can be, went to bed. Well now I know what that strange film was!

It's a Billy Wilder film I ever never seen, so I'm going to savour it. Hope you enjoy John Carter as much as I did- lower your expectations and you may be very surprised. That probably sounds odd but in these days of hype (positive and negative) on everything, it helps. I think there was some kind of feeding frenzy on John Carter. Anyway, I look forward to your thoughts. I picked up Lost Weekend last week, haven’t seen it yet- my wife is a Wimbledon nut so I won’t see much of anything for a fortnight.
