Veteran director Takashi Miike (13 ASSASSINS, HARAKIRI) offers fun for the whole family with NINJA KIDS!!! This children-friendly feature follows the adventures of young Rantaro (Shido Nakamura) as he enters his first year of ninja school. Rantaro comes from a low-ranking ninja family and his parents are eager for him to become a top ninja at the academy. Unlike a normal 1st grader, Rantaro must learn skills such as throwing stars and digging secret pitfalls! And his schooling would not be complete without a class of wild characters and outrageous teachers.
But Rantaro soon discovers that the ninja community is full of bizarre, off the wall, dangerous rivals. It is not long before his class must rise to the occasion and defend two of their local heroes, who happen to be the town’s star hair stylists. When assassins are sent to take out the stylists, Rantaro and his schoolmates must risk their lives to win a dangerous race into enemy territory! Will Rantaro save the day and prove his worth as a top ninja? –Anna Page
RINGING IN THEIR EARS

FRIDAY, OCT. 21 | 9:30 PM | REGAL DOLE SUNDAY, OCT. 23 | 5:45 PM | REGAL DOLE JAPAN 2011 | JAPANESE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | 89M
DIRECTOR:Yu Irie SCREENWRITER: Yu Irie CINEMATOGRAPHER: Kazuhiro Mimura CAST: Kurumi Morishita, Fumi Nikaido, Mikito Tsurugi
Ecstatic, funny, transcendent – if Robert Altman’s NASHVILLE had been about rock music instead of country music, it would be RINGING IN THEIR EARS, the latest film from Yu Irie (8000 MILES).
It’s a week before the biggest concert ever by Shinsei Kamattechan, an underground band that is now going big time. Their new label wants them to become more mainstream, their lead singer is getting flakier by the minute, and their manager is caught in the middle. So far, so familiar. But then the movie begins to move its attention out in concentric waves of focus. Michiko is a high school student whose grades are bombing because all she wants to do is become a championship shogi player. Kaori is a single mom desperate to connect to her son, Ryota. And Ryota, in turn, is trapped in a kindergarten where the teachers just don’t understand him and want him expelled. And it all comes back together in one final concert montage; a truly masterful piece of cinema that manages to wrap up the hopes and fears of all of the characters. –NYAFF
