"Iwo Jima" buzz in the US

"Letters from Iwo Jima" continues to pile up the accolades, as the winner of Los Angeles Film Critics Awards today, after NBR last week.

With 200 million yen first day earnings in Japan in their bags, Ken Watanabe, his wife Kaho Minami and Tsuyoshi Ihara flew to New York for a special screening and a reception for "Letters", appearing along with director Clint Eastwood.  (See photo here.)
