April Bride

That was the name of today's feature film - a Japanese movie making its U.S. debut.


Its a girl-meets-boy-girl-gets-cancer-and dies-but-not-before-the-beautiful-wedding. I'm not spoiling it for you 'cause that's all in the trailer.

Once the tears start flowing they don't stop! Listen to your fellow movie watchers to hear who starts sobbing first. But it feels oh so good to get all that emotion out!

If it comes to your city -run-don't-walk to it (and don't forget the tissue!)

Harimaya Bridge

A terrific film starring Ben Gilluroy and Danny Glover. Set mostly in Japan (and in English with Japanese subtitles at time) tells the tale of how love can erase decades of pain and hate. Such a sweet story - son dies while living (and marrying) in Japan - father hates Japan and Japanese because his own father was killed in WWII - but something changes Dad...

Last night's performance was the world premier!

Beautiful scenery of rural Japan. Fine performance by all (and talk about beautiful Japanese women!!)

Wonderful wonderful.

See it!
