Another lavish blockbuster from Japan, but this time around the residents of Third Street return and the good times are killing them. Tokyo's hosting the 1964 Olympics, the economy is booming, houses are filling up with modern appliances but something's gotten lost in the shuffle. Will Third Street be destroyed by Japan's bubble economy? Or maybe it'll be destroyed by Godzilla? Seriously…
Fans have been buzzing about Godzilla’s cameo appearance in ALWAYS 2. Now the film will be shown in New York during a co-presentation between New York Asian Film Festival and JAPAN CUTS… and NYAFF is offering SciFi Japan readers a chance to win free tickets to see the award-winning film on the big screen!
