That reminds me about my current TV commercial, which is Kraft Lunchables "Super Mom".
Keep on going, Mom!

White on Rice Review
Dave Boyle’s White on Rice by Chuck Wilson Tuesday, March9, 2010
Village Voice, New York
A hapless fool only a family member could love, the Tokyo-born Hajime (Hiroshi Watanabe), a/k/a/ Jimmy, has a gift for offending women, as well as tendency to lock himself out of the car and set kitchen on fire. Newly divorced, Jimmy has come to live with his sister, Aiko (Nae), her husband, Tak (Mio Takada, Exellent), and their gifted but emotionally neglected young son, Bob(Justin Kwong).
Having Jimmy in the house literally drives Tak crazy, and, at its best, this uneven film by writer-director Dave Boyle suggests that going a bit nuts is a good thing for the rigid paterfamilias. Boyle and Watanabe may intend for Jimmy to be an innocent who inadvertently changes lives, a la Forrest Gump, but he’s often too creepy to care about, as when he begins to stalk his beautiful cousin or leaves young Bob home alone on Halloween. As a writer, Boyle is on firmer ground when he concentrates on Tak and Bob, two nearly mute males acting out in all manners of amusing ways.
When father and son finally make each other smile, White on Rice glows with warmth.

Clean-up
Joseph Kamiya and I are almost done with "Clean-up", a short horror film.
Hopefully it will go to film festivals before too many moons go by.

Reveiw by Seth Shire
----Compared to typical Hollywood fare “White on Rice” is downright subversive featuring two of the most comically outrageous hari kari scenes (one of them accidental) ever put on film. What “White on Rice” lacks in professional polish it compensates for with a game cast that is able to put over this small, nutty story.
