English subbed screenings in Tokyo

[mark schilling]

Jason, Jasper and Daniel commented on the problem of getting info about
screenings of subbed Japanese films in Tokyo.

I get occasionally get information about subbed films -- but don't always
run it in "The Japan Times," unfortunately.

A subbed print of "Zatoichi" played at Virgin Cinemas in Roppongi Hills -- 
but it came and went before I could get a notice in the paper.

The international version of "Bayside Shakedown 2" will open at the Miyukiza
and elsewhere on December 20. I'm not sure if all prints will be subbed -- 
I'll check with Toho.
