I've still got The Patient to review. That's a two part silent short. I'm hoping to have that finished tonight sometime. Also, Tish is wanting me to view another silent movie of Scottles' about a knife-throwing clown with a nemesis. The irony is not lost. Anyway, here's the review for The Seven Snowmen, for what it's worth.

The Seven Snowmen ~ Schichin No Yuki Otoko

Imagine if you will a Calvin all grown up, roaming the Earth, Kitana always at the ready. Imagine if you will Bill Watterson meeting Akira Kurosawa and drinking just a little too much Saki before conceiving an epic film short that would combine the best of Calvin and Hobbes and Akira Kurosawa’s Samurai films. Based on Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai, the film focuses on a lone warrior who solves a little problem the villagers in the north have before the Great Melt. How he handles this problem is both hilarious and twisted.

Written, produced, and starring Scott McClure, Schichin No Yuki Otoko is a delightful tribute to a genius filmmaker and an equally genius comic strip writer. You’ll find yourself watching this repeatedly and chuckling in spite of yourself. You may also find yourself wondering how Scott McClure pulls off looking Japanese when he’s anything but. His ability to physically transform into whatever role is set before him is uncanny.
