For those of you in San Francisco, here's a movie that looks kind of fun, opening this weekend... Kenta Fukasaku's Yo Yo Girl Cop, based on a popular manga and TV series, opens this Friday, July 13th at Landmark's Opera Plaza Cinemas in San Francisco. It's a Japanese crime thriller about a secret agent who is highly trained in martial arts, armed with a deadly steel yo-yo and an undercover identity, "K." Oookay. Sounds like a cheesy ridiculous guilty pleasure. This is actually a big screen limited engagement to hype the upcoming DVD release
of the film. It'll be available next week, July 17th, from Magnolia Home Entertainment. To be honest, I haven't seen this movie, and don't know a whole lot about it. But come on—it's called Yo Yo Girl Cop. It's gotta be fun, right?
