Sushi Western
Labor Day weekend doesn't typically mean huge box office returns, and what's on offer (including Disaster Movie, unfortunately released on the anniversary of Katrina) isn't going to change that. But Sukiyaki Western Django is quality fare: The cultish Western is about warring clans fighting over hidden treasure and each trying to induct a lone gunman to aid their cause.

And while Quentin Tarantino appears in the moviealways a turnoff, we knowit's directed by Takashi Miike, whose taste for twisted blood sport is unparalleled (or so the end of Audition led us to believe). See the extended preview below, but fast-forward to 2:40, which is when things start exploding:
