I watched the two segments of noodles_leone's film Colt Navy 1851 on youtube, and I must say, I am VERY impressed. In the first segment you can definitely the influence of Leone, while in the second segment, that bit of Peckinpah in the mixture is clear (i.e., slow-motion deaths, the credits coming up during a freeze frame while everything turns black and white just like in The Wild Bunch . . . you'll know what I mean when you see it).
Please watch these exercises in style if you haven't already, you won't regret it. I applaud noodles_leone.

EDIT: I've been watching his other stuff too, it's good. Of course, I can only look at levels of cinematography and style and such, I can't understand that language, so I don't know about the dialogue/plot/anything else.
