Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial debut film, LUPIN THE 3RD: THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO is coming to U.S. cinemas nationwide for the first time ever this September for a special two-day event. Lupin and Jigen successfully rob a casino of millions, but only to find that the money is counterfeit. Lupin notices how well the money is forged and decides to make his next target the possible source of the forgery, Cagliostro. They enter the country and run into a car chase between a group of men after a girl in a wedding dress. Lupin, who loves girls, decides to abruptly make a detour to assist the bride in her escape. They successfully outrun the men but have an accident. Lupin goes unconscious but wakes up to find a ring with the royal crest of Cagliostro in a white glove from the bride.

This exciting two-night event also features never before seen special footage with creator comments.

Chinese woman in Pittsburgh since 1996 fears deportation: "I don’t think I’m one of the priorities they should be looking to deport."

WTAE ran a story yesterday on Fan Ding, a Chinese woman who has lived in Pittsburgh since 1996 but now fears deportation due to the impending repeal of Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Ding came to Pittsburgh at age 12 for medical treatment at UPMC, graduated from Scheneley High School in 2003 and earned an MBA from Duquesne University in 2014.

“I was having complications. I had a bone infection. I was literally dying. So the only way for my parents to save me was to try to contact the UPMC doctor here," Ding said.

After her story was featured in a newspaper article that caught the attention of then President Bill Clinton, he wrote her a letter of support.

That letter combined with an invitation to Pittsburgh from a doctor at UPMC allowed Ding and her father to obtain B2 visitor visas from the embassy.

2017 Justin Chon film Gook in Pittsburgh, from September 8.

The 2017 film Gook, which looks at the 1992 Los Angeles riots from the local Korean-American perspective, will play in Pittsburgh from September 8. A February Variety review gives an overview:

2017 marks the 25th anniversary of the Los Angeles Riots, and those burning days don’t feel nearly so long ago in “Gook,” an uneven but compellingly immediate take on that moment in history from a rare Asian-American point of view. Drawing on events from his own childhood, writer-director-star Justin Chon wears his Generation X influences on his sleeve in this initially droll, finally mournful character study of two Korean-American brothers trying to keep their father’s shoe store afloat as cultural relations blister across L.A., as well as the young African-American girl who has a surprising bond with them. Alternating between bristling Spike Lee-style protest and the slacker sensibility of early Kevin Smith — in crisp black and white, to boot — Chon’s sophomore feature wavers uncertainly in tone, getting a little too cute for comfort in spots, but is otherwise a lively, auspicious breakthrough. With a Sundance audience award in its back pocket, “Gook” should manage some niche theatrical play.

The movie was released on August 18, and will play at AMC Loews Waterfront from the 8th. Tickets and showtime information is available online via Fandango. The theater is located at 300 West Waterfront Dr. in the Waterfront shopping complex in Homestead (map), across the Monongahela River from Greenfield, Squirrel Hill, and the rest of Pittsburgh.
