My family just went on its now annual christmas movie outing (earlier we reconstructed what they've been: prince of egypt, castaway, ali, the two towers) and this year we saw the last samurai which we all rather liked (though my brother jesse didn't like tom cruise, and my brother joel didn't want to see it because he hates when tom cruise has long hair, but ended up liking the film anyway). I must say though, tom cruise does find a novel solution to the old all girls already have boyfriends problem.
