The Last Samurai-

I have the hardest time spelling Samurai- it is not a word I have typed often until recently.

I viewed The Last Samurai last night with my buddies- Dumas and Cody at the too-late-to-be-watching-movies-on-a-work-night-hour of 9:00 PM.

For me the movie started out a bit slow, a little akward, much like the way I am in the mornings after a really intense leg workout, but then after warming up a bit, things started to loosen up and I found myself lost in the way of the Samurai. I think that Americans are fascinated by all things that have to do with Japanese Culture- alphabet, fighting, sushi, just to name a few. For me, this movie was only mildly entertaining up until the point where Cruise is kidnapped.
