A Quiet Place on the Mall

Clint Eastwood's new movie, "Flags of Our Fathers" runs deep with most who see it, prompting some last minute looks and credit readings before quietly leaving. Those that don't leave later with the rest, generally file out like they were leaving a very personal church service.

This one employs some of Eastwood's best cinematic work ever, which is saying a lot for the 76-year-old entertainer.

Eastwood said the movie is about those who made the sacrifices, but it shows much more with its very fine cinematography and screenplay. It is one we will probably be watching off and on for a very long time.
