[Q]: Suggest a movie title for the following movie plot: In 1820, young Dr. Yasumoto, returned to Edo after graduating from Dutch medical school in Nagasaki. He presented himself at the public clinic managed by Dr. Niide (Toshiro Mifune), aka Akahige (Red Beard- because of the color of his beard), thinking it was merely a courtesy call arranged by his father (who also a physician).To his surprise and displeasure, he found that out he was expected to work there for a while. Yasumoto didn't find anything to his liking. He found out that the doctors were expected to sacrifice sun (the patients needed the sunny rooms), heat (better for the soul), and tatami (Japanese comfortable bedding). Extremely upset & frustrated because he had hoped to find a prestigious post as a shogun's personal physician, Yasumoto rebelled by not doing what he was supposed to do and refusing to follow the rules. He would not wear the traditional clinic doctor's uniform, refused to eat, drank sake (though it was forbidden) and complained that the patients stank (which one of his colleague at the clinic called "the smell of poverty"). He reclined on the lawn in front of an isolated ward reserved for a murderous female mental patient (which he had been warned to avoid). In short, he believed he was too good for this under-funded public clinic-that the job and patients were beneath him. His goal was to be asked to leave.One night, the mental patient escaped from her ward. Dr. Niide & nurse Osugi went out looking for her. The escaped patient (nicknamed the Mantis) showed up in Yasumoto's bedroom. She told Yasumoto the story of her life, how men had raped her many times, beginning at age 9. They threatened to kill her if she ever denounced them and she kept quiet. Finally, after a few years, she had had enough of the sexual abuse and snapped-- killing three men (thus the name Mantis). She was quite beautiful and Yasumoto succumbed to her charms. She seduced him, with the intention of killing him. Dr. Niide came back, just in time, to save him. Red Beard excused him for being drunk & for his...

[Q]: Suggest a movie title for the following movie plot: The year is 1966. Saya is the only remaining original vampire, and she hunts Chiropterrans--demons who live off human blood. Saya's a testy and demanding little bitch but apparently very valuable to "the top." Her next assignment, as her boss David explains it to her, is to infiltrate the U.S. Yokota Air Base's High School, which has been the scene of several deaths in the past and is thought to be harboring at least two Chiropterrans. Saya's cover is that of a student who will be participating in classes for a few days.Saya's first day at Yokota High is pretty uneventful. After classes are over and everyone has cleared out, Saya snoops around the school and learns that blood has been spilled on the floor in the infirmary. She suspects that the infirmary is the Chiropterrans' feeding room. The next day is the school's Halloween party. After school lets out, the students change into their costumes and head for the dance...all except for Sharon and Linda, that is. Linda isn't feeling well, and Sharon thinks it's a flare-up of Linda's anemia, so she's going to walk Linda over to the infirmary and they will attend the party later. Saya enters the infirmary just as Sharon and Linda are about to feed on nurse Makiho Amano. Linda changes her form into Chiropterran, and Saya slays her with her sword. Saya turns on Sharon and wounds her, but Sharon gets away, spilling blood as she flees. The astonished nurse follows the trail, which leads to the dance hall where she finds Sharon in Chiropterran form hiding under a blanket. While Saya battles the creature, Makiho runs for help.Meanwhile, at a nearby bar, the mama-san sets the bar on fire, takes Chiropterran form, and heads for the army base. She kills the military guard who is escorting the Makiho back to the dance. Saya saves the terrified nurse, and they take refuge in a military garage, but the demon finds them. Saya, without her sword, battles the creature with a shovel while Makiho hops in a jeep and rams through the door. David, who has been looking for Saya and...

[Q]: Suggest a movie title for the following movie plot: On the morning after his re-election, US President Joseph Staton (Dennis Quaid) decides to read the newspaper for the first time in four years. This starts him down a slippery slope. He begins reading obsessively, reexamining his "black-and-white" view of the world in a more "gray-seeming" way, and holing up in his bedroom in his pajamas. Frightened by the President's apparent nervous breakdown, his Chief of Staff (Willem Dafoe) pushes him back into the spotlight, booking him as a guest judge on the television ratings juggernaut (and the President's personal favorite), the weekly talent show American Dreamz, a show similar in format to the modern-day American Idol. America cannot seem to get enough of American Dreamz, hosted by self-aggrandizing, self-loathing Martin Tweed (Hugh Grant), ever on the lookout for the next insta-celebrity. His latest crop of hopefuls includes Sally Kendoo (Mandy Moore), a conniving steel magnolia with a devoted, dopey veteran boyfriend William Williams (Chris Klein), and Omer Obeidi (Sam Golzari). Because Omer's mother died in the Middle East in an American attack, he joined a group of jihadists. He was an actor in an instruction film for terrorists, but he was too clumsy, and his interest in show tunes was frowned upon. Therefore, he was sent to the U.S. to await further instructions, but the leaders expected they could not use him. He moved to Southern California to live with his extended family there, including his effeminate cousin Iqbal (Tony Yalda) and Shazzy (Noureen DeWulf). Iqbal hoped to be selected to participate in American Dreamz, but in a misunderstanding, Omer was selected instead. Iqbal becomes angered by this at first but later agrees to help Omer win and makes himself his manager. Omer's terrorist organization now sees an opportunity: Omer is instructed to make it to the finale, and kill the President in a suicide attack. He succeeds in getting to the finale. Security is bypassed by assembling the bomb after the security check, in the toilet, from small parts...
