Seven Samurai is a great movie. I would recommend listening to the commentary afterward if it's available to you.

It was some film critic discussing some of the techniques Kurosawa used, and covered a lot of nuances I hadn't really noticed my first time through.

La Horde - As far as zombie movies go, this one was actually rather good.

oh, too bad my download didn't include that..i've read on wikipedia though

just watchedthe Magnificent Seven. It's basically western frontier type adaptation of the Seven Samurai.
It's actually amazing in its own right, and the references are beautiful.

The Fistful of Dollars movies are basically the Western rendition of Yojimbo if you get your hands on that. It's another Akira Kurosawa samurai movie starring a morally ambiguous "hero." I was kind of amazed to see how much classic Westerns borrowed from Japanese cinema.

Just finished watching all of the Deadwood episodes. Such a frustrating end. Wikipedia claims its 'ended' I would've guess canceled based on the ending.

conversely, Kurosawa was a John Ford fanatic and borrowed a lot from him

Screw you, Dexter Season 4. Most depressing ending ever.

Thanks for the recommendations. I never knew there was this connection between western and eastern cinema.

Downloaded Persons Unknown and watched all 13 episodes. LOVED EVERY MOMENT. Apparently NBC marketed this as a mini-series and announced that they would answer all the mysteries by the end which ended up being a huge lie. The show's finale sets itself up for a second season which I hope the show succeeds in getting, which is looking slim at this point. (The people saying the show sucked are those that are pissed at NBC for the false marketing). If you liked LOST at first because of the mystery, I highly recommend this show, with a major disclaimer - not everything is answered.. but it's one hell of a thrill ride that I thoroughly enjoyed. I haven't been so enthrilled in a new series this much since BSG season 1.

Yeah. I'm kind of irked that they didn't fucking answer the questions. However, if they actually make another season all would be forgiven.

Just saw the movie, The Killing Room. Pretty good for a low budget film, and the plot was right up my alley. I highly recommend it. Anyone know of any other films similar to this?

Just saw Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. Such a nice film. Sometimes it's great to watch a simple piece of cinematography not reliant on special effects but by characterizations and means of suspense.
