Top 10 Movies of this Decade
Mr. Hollywood-Burger hands took the top spot in Yahoo's list of their top 10 movies of this decade ^_^ I'm so proud of Nino for taking the risk to send in a tape and hoping to meet Clint-o haha But it was a good movie, really sad and bloody at times, but good - especially because I dont hear about the Japanese side of the war too often.
Anyway you can go here to read the full article but here's the blurb on Iwo Jima
"These are films that had an impact. They shocked, dismayed and provoked. They unsettled people. They established legacies, won awards and aggravated more than a few. None is easy or conventional. That's what great movies are about.

1. LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA
Hollywood has been making war movies since D.W. Griffith, but you seldom if ever get a sense of how it feels. You may in the first 20 minutes of Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan"; then that movie reverts to genre form. But Clint Eastwood's "Letters From Iwo Jima" accomplishes this feat: You get war in all its horror, boredom and grit -- and from the point of view of our country's enemy, so any empathy is hard-earned. With unsettling brilliance, the film captures war as experienced by soldiers lost in its fog, as a grinding, sickening, numbing death machine. In Eastwood's version, heroism and cowardice are two sides of the same coin, and glory a concept best left to generals and historians."
And I heard Kame's going to be Kohei and Tego's going to be Yuki in the drama adaptation of Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge ....I'm not sure how i feel about this ^^; I really hope they dont dye their hair blond >< I know the characters are blond but I dont think I'll like how they look with blond hair ><
I really luv the Wallflower series ^^ I really really really hope they dont mess it up ><
