More Movie News

Clint Eastwood is making two films about the Battle of Iwo Jima. (That took place in World War 2, for all you non-history types.)

The two films — "Flags," telling the story of six men who raised an American flag on Mount Suribachi, and the tentatively named "Lambs Before the Wind" on the Japanese side of the battle — are scheduled for simultaneous release next fall.

Kaïro (Pulse) by Japanese horror director, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, will finally be released Stateside this month. The film was originally released in 2001 but hasn't been shown on these shores until now because of 9/11. An interview with Kurosawa can be found here. It's doubtful that the film will make it up here to Madison but it opens on December 2nd in Chicago at the Music Box Theatre.
