[EAsiaUVa] forward: Asian movie month

[East Asia Center]

Sorry for cluttering up your inboxes (I probably do that enough as it 
is), but a quick correction: the director of "Seven Samurai" was in fact 
named Akira KurosAWA.  He was not part-Greek, as the typo suggested.  
Also, I've attached two nifty-looking "posters" for the movie c/o Trina 
Tran.

Best,
Graham
