Weekly Trailers

Nekonade - Mika Omori (2008)

The hardest working man in Japanese cinema breaks W.C. Fields' old adage "Never work with kids or animals" in his upcoming film "Nekonade". Osugi plays a hard-as-nails personnel manager who's in charge of ruthlessly downsizing the IT company he works for, but on the way home from the office one night he takes pity on a stray kitten and takes it home, secretly caring for it and subsequently getting a major attitude adjustment.




The Man Who Stole the Sun - Kazuhiko Hasegawa (1979)

Kenji Sawada (The Happiness of the Katakuris, Yumeji) stars as an unbalanced science teacher who achieves the impossible: he constructs not one but two nuclear warheads and uses them to hold Japan hostage. Bunta Sugawara plays the police officer that must stop this madman before he unleashes unimaginable destruction on an unwitting public.
