‘Letters’ easily one of the greatest films of all-time

When it comes to Hollywood directors, Clint Eastwood has a fascinating anomaly of a career. We used to regard him primarily as the squinty icon that popularized characters as integral to great cinema as Josey Wales, Dirty Harry and the Man With No Name. Even though he's been directing movies since 1971, including modern classics like ""The Outlaw Josey Wales"" and ""Unforgiven,"" Eastwood has never entered a true artistic prime as a director; that is, until the last few years. With the one-two punch of ""Mystic River"" and ""Million Dollar Baby,"" Eastwood made us forget all the ""Blood Works"" and ""Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evils"" and re-established himself as one of the best contemporary American filmmakers. And now, with ""Letters From Iwo Jima,"" a focused and assured tour de force that ranks as one of the greatest war movies ever made, Eastwood has given us what is arguably his best film yet.

Raw talent was traded in for an image""a product, and it's safe to say that music is no longer the love of many pop stars' lives, but an easy starting point for them to build their resumé.
