Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer.

To finish 7 I watched the 7th and last film in my series titled Se7en. It stars Morgan Freeman as a cop about to retire and Brad Pitt as his partner. It also stars a headless Gwyneth Paltrow as Pitts wife. A man named John Doe(Kevin Spacey) is going around killing people in horrible ways. His killings are all based on the seven deadly sins a fat man for Gluttony,A rich attorney for Greed and so on. This is by far the bloodiest movie I have ever seen. I would rank Spacey's performance as John Doe one of the creepiest villains of all time.

You play chess, do you not?

As part of seven I watched The Seventh Seal. The film is set in Sweden around the time of the black death. It was directed by Ingmar Bergman.The film is about death. A knight goes on a long journey and while he is on that journey he stops every once and a while to play a game of chess with death. He loses the game and is killed along with everyone else around him. This is one of my top ten foregin films.

From the land beyond beyond... from the world past hope and fear... I bid you, Genie, now appear.

I recently watched the movie 7th Voyage of Sinbad as part of my seven series. I have seen this film many times before and I can say that it is one of my top favorite fantasy/monster movies all because of the wonderful stop motion animation by the great Ray Harryhausen he makes any movie a classic. Plus it has a skeleton which he used later for Jason. Here is Richard Eyer as Barani the gene and Kathryn Grant as princess Parisa when she was shrunk by Sukurah the evil magician.

Yes, I know who Judas was. He was a man I worked for and admired until he disgraced the four stars on his uniform.

I just finished Seven Days in May as part of my seven sires . It is a film about a undercover plot to take over the United States government. Burt Lancaster plays airforce general scott one of the members of the JCS invovled in the plot. Kirk Douglas plays Colonel Martin Jiggs who is working under Scott at the time and is then able to warn the president about Scotts plan. A secret base in el paso a senator held against his will all this and more make the movie a good suspenseful film. The senator is played by Edmond O'brien.

Love is like the measles. You only get it once, and the older you are, the harder you take it.

I just got done watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers a musical directed by the great Stanley Donen director of such musicals as On the Town,Pajama Game and Singin' in the Rain. The musical is about 7 loggers who are all brothers living in the Oregon Territory around 1850 and they are lonely and want wives. The film has lots of spectacular dance scenes all choreographed by Michael Kidd such as the barn raising. Here is the barn raising scene. enjoy!

The farmers have won. We have lost.

Today I watched the 3 hour and 27 minute film Seven Samurai directed by the great Akira Kurosawa. It stars Takashi Shimura who is known to me as Dr. Kyohei Yamane from the first Godzilla film. It was made in 1954. 5 years before it's remake The Magnificent Seven. A third remake was made in the 80's called Battle Beyond the Stars and it stars Robert Vaughn who starred in the Magnificent seven. It does not sound very good. I would rate it as one of the top five best foregin films. A timeless classic.

We deal in lead friend.

I just ended Queen fest and I am starting up 7 with one of the top five westerns of all time The Magnificent Seven. All though it is a good movie it's really sad because they kill off James Coburn instead of Yul Brynner and Charles Bronson instead of Horst Buchholz which was a big mistake. McQueen,Colburn and Bronson would go on to star in another John Sturges film the Great Escape.
A remake of the Magnificent Seven sould have been made with John Wanye,Clint Eastwood,Jimmy Stewart,Lee Marvin,Kirk Douglas,Henry Fonda and Robert Mitchum as the seven.That would be so epic.
