Japanese Film Festival
April 9-11, 16-17
Multiple Theaters
Time for some Japanese love. The Japanese Film Festival is back with a whole lot of independent movies this year. From calligraphy loving girls to a man trying to make a billion yen, you have a wide selection to choose from. The festival is scattered throughout the city. Starting at the New Bev then to Little Tokyo and to Irvine.
The festival is a great chance to catch film you might never get to see. Last year's Yatterman still hasn't come over to a American distributor. The style antics can be so different from American cinema, it's always a pleasure to see something with their cultural aesthetics.
Here are the titles to look out for
Shodo Girls-Blue Blue Sky
The Billion Yen Jackpot
Twice Bombed The Legacy of Yamaguchi Tsutomu (Producer/Director is scheduled to appear.)
Turning Japanese
Birthright
The Neighbor (Directors is scheduled to appear.)
A Good Husband
The Knot
The Back of Destiny
Half Kenneth
Asakusa Daydreams
-x-(minus by minus)
Snow Flowers
OROKA
Summer Bookmobile
The Lost Samurai
Mirror in the mirror
Times for the showing haven't been set as I write this, keep checking their site or add them to your Facebook to find out when and where something you like will be playing.

Right after the Japanese Film festival is the Indian Film Festival and it's not scattered around LA, it's all in one place, the Arclight Hollywood. Different genres from dramas to family comedies come all the way from India for LA to enjoy. Another delicious flavor that makes up the film festival ice cream store that is LA, the Indian Film Festival is rich in taste and concepts that can be both fun and heartbreaking. Right now, the best sounding movie with the most hype is Endhiran( Robot). Big internet buzz aside here's a little info, it's a Robot movie, musical, with guns and action. Also a robot snake composed of other robots. Yeah, it's gonna rock.

Nucleus 210 East Main St, Alhambra CA 91801
What time is it? Adventure Time! The Adventure Time Exhibit will be happening at Nucleus. They know how to throw some fun events. I couldn't be more excited for seeing some Adventure Time art in person. Yes, fans can enjoy a Adventure Time event together, much more than when the Autumn Society had theirs at Cartoon Network Offices in Burbank and didn't tell anyone, jerks. They have a upcoming event in May. I'll be giving you more info as it comes to me.
Happening the same time and place is the
Edward Scissorhands 20th Anniversary Tribute
April 16th Opening Reception /, 7:00PM - 11:00PM
Nucleus 210 East Main St, Alhambra CA 91801
The classic movie from Tim Burton has a lot of fans and some happen to be artist. I wonder how old Scissorhands could hold a paintbrush. I can't wait to see the different takes on the movie and what scenes will be remembered. I wonder how he got the damn movie green lit." So he has scissors for hands ... hhhhmm, fund it!" Funny, the show seems like build up for the Tim Burton Exhibit at LACMA at the end of May.
(Imagine me sounding like Vincent Price)
