I was in the office this afternoon refreshing some of my teaching plans and getting ready for the weekend. I happened to glance over at the bulletin board outside the office and I noticed that two movies are finally making their way over to Japan. The first was the movie “Night at the Museum”, which was now carrying the title “ナイトミュージアム” or “Night Museum.” I’m not sure what happened to the “at” or the “the”, but it does change the premise of the movie a little. I would now assume this museum is only open at night.
The other new movie this week was “Rocky Balboa”, which now carries the awesome new title “Rocky: The Final.” Well, we can always hope this series of movies will end someday. Perhaps the Japanese are just saying it like it is. It reminds me of a Gamera movie.
