London’s Leicester Square was last night filled with hysterical, screaming Leonardo DiCaprio fans for the premiere of his new film 'Inception'.

A memorable double from actor/director Clint Eastwood, ‘Flags of our Fathers’ and ‘Letters from Iwo Jima’ (Warner, €24.99 or €27.99 each) looks at one of the bloodiest conflicts during World War II — the invasion of Iwo Jima.

The companion piece to the much-lauded Flags Of Our Fathers, Eastwood’s memorable story of the iconic raising of the Stars-and-Stripes during the bloody WW2 Pacific battle.

Rob Marshall’s Memoirs of a Geisha Girl (Buena Vista, €24.99) picked up three Oscars this year and with its sumptuous costumes and excellent cinematography it’s not hard to see why.

As a child, Clint Eastwood watched his share of war movies. Later on, he’d star in them. But now, as he puts the finishing touches on a pair of films about the bloody Second World War battle for Iwo Jima, he says he has a changed perspective.

The complex world of the Japanese Geisha is examined in this beautifully-shot, if slightly insubstantial, film.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the final chapter in Peter Jackson’s majestic fantasy trilogy, led the Academy Awards race today with 11 nominations, including best picture and director.
