If you found Flags of Our Fathers a moving and thought provoking film, which I did, then somehow it looks like this film blows it out of the water. Could be Mr Eastwood's finest achievement yet!

On a completely unrelated note, The Arcade Fire's fifth and final show at New York's Judson Memorial Church was broadcast live today on NPR. If you missed this superb show you can listen to it in full here. Truly a indication of their all conquering greatness.
