You called it. I've been watching a ton of Samurai movies recently, so Japanese has been in my head.

Right on. Samurai movies are great. I haven't seen a ton, but I've seen enough to know that Toshiro Mifune is the man.

That guy is such a badass. He is the Japanese Clint Eastwood - you think of a badass samurai, chances are you think of him. The Hidden Fortress, Throne of Blood, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo...the list goes on. All classics.

Not a grand artistic statement, just a lot of fun with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The ragtime soundtrack is fabulous.

Because you MUST see one Bond, and this is the one.

Is that the name for the new Bruce Willis movie?
You could try Dust Devil. I found it amazing, a kind of African ghost story mixing in elements of kind of revenge westerns? Maybe. Incredible ending. I reviewed it in the Couch Potato, but here

I think they were all kind of topless at the end, weren't they?



Agreed, and I hate Bond.

Really? You like the TV series, not the movies, right? William Shatner is Canadian, does that weigh in Star Trek's favor?
