This weekend Film Streams, Omaha's non profit cinema, opened at the Ruth Sokolof Theater in downtown Omaha. It is part of the ongoing renaissance of downtown. Such a theater is long overdue in the Omaha area. There is definitely a market for foreign, independent, and classic films in the Omaha area. http://www.filmstreams.org/filmstreams_home.html
Today I saw Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai. This is the first time I have seen it and it is fantastic film. It is the story of peasants being terrorized by bandits and they hire samurai for defence. The movie reminded me of a western. In fact it was remade in America as The Magnificent Seven. Which is another movie I have not had the opportunity to see. My brother in law has the DVD and I should borrow it.
