Clint Eastwood's new movies

I have not been able to see a movie in a theater since Superman. I am learning how hard it is to see movies with small children and I am pretty sure that Eastwood's new movies are not quite the proper ones to take a five and ten year old to see. That said every review makes me want to see them both. Here is one from the New York Review of Books:

But Clint Eastwood is the first director, to my knowledge, who has made two films of the same battle, showing both sides from the perspective of individual soldiers with fully developed characters. Deftly, without polemics or heavy-handed messages, he has broken all the rules of the traditional patriotic war movie genre and created two superb films, one in English, the other in Japanese: Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. The latter, in my view, is a masterpiece

A long, long way from Rowdy Yates.
