I' going to see M:I-2 because it was filmed in Australia. I always munch on popcorn, beef jerky, and sushi when catching a flick. Action films are my favorite. I wish I could trade places with Al Pacino.

I'm going to see Rules of Engagement 'cause I'm in the military. I always eat popcorn and drink coke in the theater. I like comedies and I would trade places with Bruce Willis.

I'm going to see Rules of Engagement because it has the most appealing poster. In Korea, we munch on dried squid and drink tea when we're watching a flick. My favorite movies are a Korean comedies. I would trade places with Mel Gibson.

It's reel time again, when the movie mavens descend upon Tokyo in full force for the International Film Festival. In preparation for the big event, we send our roving reporter out to catch some flick fans and find out what interests them. So, what movie are you going to see and why? What's your favorite cinematic snack? What is your favorite kind of flick, and which star do you wish you could trade places with?

We're going to see The Perfect Storm because we have a lot of spare time on the weekend, and we usually have something cold to drink while watching a movie. We both like love stories. We would trade places with Casper the Ghost and Tom Cruise.

I'm going to see Rules of Engagement. Why? Timing - I hate a long wait. I have the ol' popcorn thing with a coke (beer when possible). Historical epics, especially of the bleeding-heart variety are my favorite flicks. Maybe I would trade places with Tim Robbins.
