We finally made it out to the city for the movies the other day. We went to a Japanese United Artists theater and saw "Rogue Assassin" with Jet Li and Jason Statham. I think it's called "War" in the U.S. It pretty much had everything actiony packed into one movie... guns, martial arts, fast cars and bikes, scantily-clad women, ninjas, mafia guys... and who knew Devon Aoki spoke Japanese so well. The story was a little weak but we weren't expecting much so the ninjas made up for it.
It was a pretty pricey date, the tickets cost 1800 yen each (about $15) and we got a hot dog and popcorn which was pretty much the same price as at home. The coolest part was that they had free rental blankets! Brilliant!! I didn't see them until after the movie so I'm definitely trying it out next time.
