Movie Review: "Seven Samurai"

Okay I finally watched Akira Kurosawa's epic classic "Shichinin no samurai", or in English: "Seven Samurai".

I'm amazed that such an old movie (released in 1954) stands up pretty well to the test of time, and actually lives up to the hype!

The cinematography is better that a lot of the swill that Hollywood churns out yearly...















This movie was so good that an American version of it, "The Magnificent Seven", was released as a western in 1960 -- and was also bad-ass by the way.

In conclusion, if you like good movies and don't mind reading subtitles (or speak Japanese), you should definitely WATCH it.

QBF Rating: 4.0/5.0

PS: Here are the poster and trailer for The Magnificent Seven.

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
