一月十三日(ichigatsu jyusan nichi): January 13

The Best 10 of Kinema Junpo (キネマ旬報ベストテン:kinema junpo best ten), a Japanese academic film magazine which began publication in July 1919, was published yesterday. This was the 83rd Kinema Junpo Best 10. Since the Academy Award will be the 82nd this year, Kinema Junpo Best 10 has a very long history in the film award in the world.
The best Japanese movie which was released in 2009 was Dear Doctor directed by Miwa Nishikawa(西川美和). And the best foreign movie of 2009 was Gran Torino directed by Clint Eastwood. The award ceremony will be held on February 7.
Since the Japanese best one film of last year was Okuribito (おくりびと), Departures, and it got an Oscar last year. This may be nominated too.
Unfortunately I have not seen either of them yet, I hope to see them someday.
