first look: the trouble with romance


For those of you in San Jose... my man Gene Rhee's debut feature film The Trouble With Romance premieres this weekend at the Cinequest, the San Jose Film Festival. The film is "a provocative and insightful look at the funny and dark sides of relationships told through the eyes of 4 different couples." I haven't seen it, but it sounds like a good time, and stars Emily Liu and Roger Fan, among others. The film has actually been gaining a bit of notoriety around the Bay Area because it stars actress Jennifer Siebel, who happens to be the girlfriend of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. It'll also be playing in a few weeks at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. So whatever the reason—sexy comedy, Emily and Roger, Gavin's girl—it's something to check it out...
