An industry friend told me today they saw Goemon and thought it was excellent, in all respects. And much better than Kiriya's previous film Casshern.
Tuning into the Japan Academy Prize awards ceremony in just over an hour. NTV has the exclusive broadcast rights for those here in Japan. Look for my story on Screen later tonight.
Update: My article on all the winners is here. Don't forget that Asian news is free on Screendaily.com (and has been since last September). Hopefully there will be individual RSS feeds for each territory soon.
No time to recap the show but I enjoyed seeing pale skinned Hirosue Ryôko and Nakama Yukie in high definition. Kiki Kirin was very funny, too. I was really happy that Kimura Tae won best actress for her stunning performance in All Around Us (my #1 film of 2008). I think she was as shocked as everyone present that she actually won.
