LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA (2006) aka Iwo Jima kara no Tegami
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Directed by Clint Eastwood (director of Flags of Our Fathers), and stars The Last Samurai's Ken Watanabe. Will be released in the States on December 20th. I'm not sure when they will show it on the local (Philippine) theaters. I heard the movie is back to back with Mr. Eastwood's recent hit Flags of Our Fathers. I'd probably have mix emotions watching this movie, but I'd really love to see it. Looks promising!

Synopsis:
The story of the battle of Iwo Jima between the United States and Imperial Japan during World War II, as told from the perspective of the Japanese who fought it.

About the Movie:
Transformers is a 2007 live action science fiction film conceptually based on the Transformers franchise and toy line. The film is directed by Michael Bay with Steven Spielberg acting as the executive producer. This adaptation is the Transformers' first feature film since The Transformers: The Movie in 1986, (though unrelated) and also sees the return of Peter Cullen as the voice of Autobot leader Optimus Prime, over 20 years since the original cartoon. The film has had intense Internet speculation, and has a release date for July 4, 2007.

Plot (Spoilers):
Following a battle on Cybertron, events move to the Arctic Circle during the 1800s where Captain Archibald Witwicky is shown chipping away at a massive sheet of ice, only to break through it and fall into the abyss, landing on a robotic hand partially buried in the ice. He finds the eyes of Megatron staring back at him. Megatron burns a map showing the location of the mysterious Allspark into Witwicky's eyeglasses, which are handed down to his descendant, Sam (Shia LaBeouf), in the present day. When Witwicky buys his first car from dealer Bobby Bolivia (Bernie Mac), it happens to be the Autobot Bumblebee, and Witwicky comes under the protection of the Autobots as the Decepticons come looking for the map.

Elsewhere, Decepticons Blackout and Scorponok attack a United States Air Force base in Qatar in the present day. The Allspark has also been referred to as both the Energon Cube and the Energon Crystal; the earliest description credited it as "responsible for Transformer life on Earth." The Allspark is based upon the Creation Matrix of the original Transformers comics.

yeah i saw the posters in sm manila about that epic movie.. it looks great.. im waiting for its showing.. the only thing is i dun like the way they portray Harry Potter (in the poster) he looks old.. as in super old. 

It was supposed to make Harry Potter funny like I said they're mocking great movies..

@Padme: Yup I saw the trailer on TV and sure looks very good and the involvement of Steven Spielberg is good enough for me.

Ghost Rider. Starring... Nicholas Cage? unexpected.
