Movie Night

I went to the movies Sunday night and I saw the film "Inside Man" directed by Spike Lee. If you have not heard of Spike Lee, he is a famous African-American director of such award winning films like "Do the Right Thing" and "Jungle Fever." I like Spike Lee's work, but this film was only OK. It was about a bank robbery and it had a lot of "stars" like Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster and Clive Owen. I like Owen a lot and I wish he did more in the film. I guess I would recommend Japanese to wait until this film is at the local video store and not waste your money at the theater. I remember paying a lot of money in Fukushima City to see a movie. Maybe it was 3,000 yen? I don't remember. But I also had to take a three hour train ride to get there from Tajima! That cost a lot of money also. I think it was around 10,000 yen to take the train, buy a ticket and food and go back home. Too much money to see a film like this! What was the last film you saw in the theater?

I hope you can drink again someday soon but I am sure you can still do other things that make you happy. The cherry tree's might be in bloom now but I have not seen them yet. I plan on seeing them next weekend. I need to find a good camera!

My sister is fine! Thank you for asking. She just turned 29 today 4/6/06. I don't think she wants me to tell everyone that!
