<DIV>I've found that <A

seems to have romaji transliterations for all proper names. I can't tell how
comprehensive their database is, but I've had good results in the past.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>You can usually get there with one google search by looking for the name
in kanji followed by "cinemascape" in the search string. If you want to
translate from romanji to kanji, you can search for
"NAME site:intercritique.com".</DIV>
