玲瓏心♪

Although Depp has not remarried, he has stated that having children has given him "real foundation, a real strong place to stand in life, in work, in everything."^[17] "You can't plan the kind of deep love that results in children. Fatherhood was not a conscious decision. It was part of the wonderful ride I was on. It was destiny; kismet. All the math finally worked."

Edward Scissorhands / 剪刀手爱德华的评论    4

　 　 约翰尼与薇诺娜初次相见是在一次影片首映典礼上。当时薇诺娜正去取一杯可乐，"爱神"使他俩互相认出对方，只四目相交，匆匆一瞥，外界的一切便在彼此眼中 倏然消失。数月后，他俩便开始了爱情的程。在《剪刀手爱德华》一片中的默契配合，使他俩的恋情更深了，约翰尼在右臂上刺了"永远的薇诺娜"几个字，以示对 爱情的忠贞不二。薇诺娜起初还以为那是贴纸，千方百计想把它擦掉，当她意识到只是徒劳时，惊得目瞪口呆。更令人叫绝的是，约翰尼表示死后要将刺了字的皮肤 揭下留给子孙后代。
　　
　　
　　 不仅仅是"爱德华"这个角色与众不同，更由于薇诺娜参演的缘故，约翰尼对《剪刀手爱德华》这部影片情有独钟、十分偏爱。他说："能和心爱的人一起工作，而 且还有钱可赚，那种感觉简直是棒透了！"在炎炎烈日下，他整天穿着从头包到脚的黑皮衣，手戴12英寸长的"剪刀手"而毫无怨言，至于每日早晚要花很长时间 很大功夫上妆、御装和苦练使用剪刀手的艰辛，则更不在话下。在爱的绿荫下，他心里流淌着不竭的甘泉。
　　
　　 " I knew right then,' adds Johnny. I knew then I had falling in love with the love of my life"—-Johnny
　　I thought maybe he would be a jerk,' says Winona. `I didn't know. But he was really, really shy and far from any jerk..' —Winona
　　(“我知道正是那个时候。”约翰尼补充道：“我知道那以后我爱上了我生命中的爱人。”——约翰尼
　　“我原以为他可能是个古怪的人。”薇诺娜说，“我不知道，但是他真的真的最非常害羞，一点也不古怪。”——薇诺娜 )
　　
　　1989å¹´,德普遇见薇诺娜．”那一刻就像电影中一样，所有东西都逐渐模糊，而只有她是清晰的．”德普这样说．而薇诺娜说，那一刻，分明只有几秒钟，却能感觉到时间像静止一样停滞．
　　一个是正在上升的女星，”全世界最幸运的女孩”;一个是性格男星，正被注视着的叛逆男孩．一见钟情．
　　
　　那一年，薇诺娜17岁．关于她的海报挂满美国各地．她是大众情人，她的美丽打动着所有影迷的心—–无论他们爱不爱她的电影．没人注意她 的不快乐，没人能深刻的理解她的童年，没人知道，从13岁她便在镜头前NG,ACTION声中度过．她说，她是没有青春的孩子．
　　
　　那一年,德普25岁.年纪轻轻,却已结婚又离婚,并有两次订婚.他文身,吸毒,组摇滚乐队,不懂得结婚与订婚间的区别.他叛逆,拒绝传统,并反抗一切.
　　
　　他们的相似在于,表面风光，内心却苦闷无比.
　　
　　也许,就因为这个,他们心灵相通,互相理解,并疯狂相爱.
　　
　　
　　
　　 德普曾这样形容他们的爱情."跟她在一起,与以往的感觉完全不同.我觉得,之前我从未真正的与别人交往过.Lori,我的第一个女友,她很好,但似乎并不 是真的爱我.Sherilyn 欺骗过我,而我也似乎不在乎她.Jen,我们建立深厚的关系,但仅仅是某种关系,我们没有任何实质的发展.而薇诺娜,她是不同的.她是我的一切,她是我的 心,我的灵魂,她是我未来的妻子,我孩子的母亲,我们家的主人.没有人可以替代她的位置.相信我."
　　
　　 <剪刀手爱德华>上映后,两位主角的关系大白于天下,并被炒作的沸沸扬扬.他们肆无忌惮的对着记者宣泄自己的情感.是的,他们相爱,天下人都为之而感到幸福.而没有人想到,不幸的种子,正是这样悄悄种下.
　　
　　
　　
　　 18岁,薇诺娜迎来了事业的最高峰.而她的抑郁也达到了极点.她曾在凌晨两点对着写有"薇诺娜,世界上最幸运女孩"的广告牌痛哭失声.而此时,德普努力的 分担着她的压力,并对这种痛苦感同身受."我很害怕她会死去，每当她看起来不太好时，我都会因担心她所受的苦难而哭着睡着。我不知道如果我的生命里没有了 她我会怎么办。"
　　
　　 他照顾她,在她难过的时候,用手指插进她的喉咙,帮她吐出来.人人都说,在他的照顾下,她在逐渐好转.他们开始形影不离.在洛杉基,他们有了一栋房子,然 后他们计划着再买一间阁楼.德普做早餐,而他们一起在床上享用.他们一起收拾器皿，德普负责清洗，而薇诺娜将它们弄干．尽管是明星，他们却有着普通情侣般 的生活．而不同，也许就在于，他们比别人更加浪漫和疯狂．
　　
　　 ”她已经完全迷上他了．只要有他在身边，无论何时何地，她都会完全的拥入他怀中．”当时的采访中，有这样的描述．
　　
　　
　　
　　 他们是那么恩爱，以至于对着记者的采访记录述说衷肠，面向镜头，旁若无人的拥抱依偎．他们不能忍受分离，每次单独排戏，薇诺娜总要留些纪念物在身上，就好 象德普陪在身旁．然后他们憧憬结婚,薇诺娜梦想着一次蜜月旅行，德普计划着两人一起离开美国，到处漫游，躺在沙滩上喝烈酒.事实上，他们确实准备了订婚戒 指．而德普则做了更疯狂的事．他带着薇诺娜去文身,她看见她的名字是怎么样永远的留在了他的身上．75美元,"winona forever".
　　
　　 “我从来没有成为那些喜欢出去疯并且想在别人面前控制一切的男孩中的一个。当你在成长时会经历一系列判断错误。没有坏的选择，只有错误的选择……人总会犯 错误。我们先前的关系并没有人们想象的那样深厚，但是我在过去27年所经历的任何事情都无法与我同薇诺娜在一起的感觉相比。你能够想象一些真实的事情，但 那完全不同于你真正地去体验它。事实是相当有力的——相信我，这个“永远的薇诺娜”文身不是我轻率地做的一件事，她的眼睛可以杀了我……”德普这样谈论这 件别人眼中似乎疯狂的事.面对采访者,他甚至说过这样的话,当他死后,将把文身淹制起来,送给薇诺娜和她的孩子们.而文身的计划，他其实已经思考了五个 月．
　　
　　 童话之所以会被称为童话，也许就在于它的短暂和不真实．德普和薇诺娜的故事也是如此．他们的爱情只延续了四年．四年中，他们忍受着媒体的追捧和诽谤．他们 的爱情被不负责任的夸张和扭曲．媒体解读他们的爱情，又制造着矛盾．因为两人的关系实在太完美，媒体甚至自己编造虚假新闻．两人最终和平分手．而整个故事 最悲惨的那部分，莫过于，分手后，他们依然相爱．
　　
　　
　　
　　 而薇诺娜,她是不同的.她是我的一切,她是我的心,我的灵魂,她是我未来的妻子,我孩子的母亲,我们家的主人.没有人可以替代她的位置.相信我.
　　
　　
　　
　　 过了许多年，提起那段分手的往事，两人仍唏嘘不已．分手后，某次记者穷追猛打下，薇诺娜曾慌张的说下这段话．”关于我们之间的事情，你还要让我说什么？如 果我恨德普，也许我会有许多话想说．但是，我仍然爱着他．对于我，他是最好的那个．而我只能尽量不去想这些事．”
　　
　　 ”遇见德普的时候，我还是处女．他改变了我一生．他是我最初的所有．他给了我第一次真正的吻．他是我第一个真正的男友．他是我第一个依靠．所以，他将留在我心里，到永远．”
　　
　　
　　
　　 而德普，过着更加放任的生活．对于他来说，薇诺娜是他前三十岁人生中最初与最后的爱．从此，他遇见一个又一个长相气质酷似薇诺娜的女人．面对采访，他说是 自己搞砸了那段爱情．”当我想到薇诺娜的眼睛．Take My Breathe Away的曲子就会在我心中响起．”那首歌，是属于他们的主题曲，在他们的爱情中，这首歌被一提再提．”每次听到这首歌，我和薇诺娜的往事都会重会心中． 事实上，89年到93年的那些歌，总会让我想到我和薇诺娜在一起的日子，那段时间，我真的很幸福．”分手四年后，提到薇诺娜，德普依旧这样说．再然后，他 结婚，生子．往事被深锁在心中．对于薇诺娜，他终于做到只字不提．
　　
　　
　　
　　 但大家都说，德普不可能忘记薇诺娜．人们都说，薇诺娜是德普最初的爱情，他只是把她放在心里最隐秘的角落．甚至蒂姆波顿，德普的老朋友，也说过这样的 话，”我相信德普仍会与薇诺娜在一起．也许不是现在，而是将来的某个时刻．虽然德普已经有了两个孩子．”在波顿眼里，他们是这般的天造地设．”他们爱的绝 望．甚至当他们已经分手很久，德普都不愿承认已经分开这个事实．”
　　
　　 波顿说，德普想要个孩子．事实上，德普经常憧憬做父亲的那一刻．”我要给我的孩子看剪刀手爱德华．我的孩子会说，爸爸，你和妈妈在那部影片中真是太酷 了！”他甚至计划着为未来的孩子戒烟，怕自己成为孩子眼中的混蛋父亲．而德普现在真的有了一儿一女，只是他们的妈妈，不是站在剪刀手身边的那一个．
　　
　　
　　
　　 尽管经过了很多年，人们仍然希望薇诺娜和德普可以复合．他们的朋友做出过很多努力．波顿曾怂恿克里斯蒂娜里奇跟德普谈谈＿他们是至交好友，人们希望薇诺娜 能回到德普身边．之后的日子，人人都知道薇诺娜过的并不好，她传出过许多诽闻，但无一长久，而事业也渐入低谷．德普也一样．当他跟名模凯特莫斯共同出现在 人们视野中时，谁都能发现，这不是从前的德普，就好象从前那个德普已被薇诺娜永远的带走了．
　　
　　 而德普自己也期待着与薇诺娜的另一次合作．他们在一起筹划着拍一部叫＜Just Be Together＞的电影．在他眼中，薇诺娜永远是最好的演员．为了第二次合作，他宁愿去等．他们有过愉快的谈话，德普期待着”未来的某天，有些什么可以 再次发生．”甚至薇诺娜也做出过愉快的回应．
　　
　　 但是，他们之间，终究什么都没再发生．
　　
　　 2001年,薇诺娜带着未付款的衣物走出服装店.举世皆惊.谁都不理解为什么心中如此完美的偶像会堕落到做偷东西的贼.人们说她是想引起人们的注意.她因 偷窃走上法庭,那段时间她频频暴光,负面新闻连连. 而德普在她最痛苦的时期站了出来.他送她一打粉红色的玫瑰.还有一个字条.上面写道:"不要烦恼.这种麻烦,总会在最出色的人身上发生.祝你在法庭上有好 运.我相信你."
　　
　　 而从那以后,德普完整的洗去关于薇诺娜的文身.与妻子,儿子,女儿,隐居法国,归于平静安稳的家庭生活.德普的名字,再没有过与薇诺娜同时出现在小报上.
　　
　　 从此,再也没有人用 Babydoll 和My Tattooed Bad Boy互称对方.这段小插曲,成为德普和薇诺娜最后的传奇.
　　
　　 而好来坞的电影圈中,再没出现过如此疯狂,炽热,完整的爱情故事.
　　
　　
　　
　　 "我想为她去死.我是这样的爱她.我不知道没有她,我该做什么.我希望我可以吻遍她的所有疼痛,使它们消失,停止,不在出现在她身上.若她因此而哭泣,而 我不知所措,我情愿杀死自己.我爱这个女孩,我爱她超过我爱自己."——约翰尼 å¾·æ™® (1989å¹´,12月)
　　
　　 约翰尼得普开车拉着荣获奥斯卡影后提名的玉女薇诺娜，带着身后的狗仔队飞驰在一条乡间的小路，先是从一只猫身上轧过去，然后在记者镜头下与薇诺娜激吻，接 着告诉她以后离我远远的，就在薇诺娜愤怒地跳下车时，突然发现眼前巨大的广告牌子上写着，薇诺娜，我永远爱你，落款约翰尼得普。

当猫扑有位烧饼说了一句《剪刀手肖申克》是部好片子后…

当楼主说他觉得《剪刀手肖申克》是部好片子，广大组员紧紧围绕爱德华做文章。于是很快出现了《爱德华的救赎》。《理发师爱德华》。《剪刀手马德华》。

然后《剪刀手刘德华》终于出场。亮了全组。逼组励志哥评价说：不得不承认，《剪刀手刘德华》一片的光影效果、剪辑和取景在当时是超一流的。

很久以后，有人在李毅吧发现了《剪刀手任达华》。当出现《剪刀手董文华》后就开始不和谐了。

至于爱德华抑或是肖申克有没剪到手，组员也展开了想象《肖申克剪到手》《剪掉手刘德华》，据悉这两部是很血腥的片子。至于《捡到手刘德华》的惊悚程度，你们可想而知。

后来尼古丁爱好者拍出了《剪刀手爱中华》，口味重者拍出了《剪刀手爱如花》。

接着大家将火力转向《天使爱美丽》

出现了《天使爱德华》《剪刀手爱美丽》《天使艾薇儿》

两部电影的反串系列也出了精品：

《天堂钢琴师》《海上电影院》

《风问2》和《叶云2》

《这个修女有点冷》《杀手也疯狂》

《杀手闭嘴》《你丫比尔》

当然后来也出了《杀死劳尔》，《牯岭街少年杀死比尔》这是后话.

海上系列也出了《海上理发师》《海上调教师》和《海上入殓师》，后者绝对是惊悚片。

《海上入殓师》：关于生死，关于人生，关于爱情和亲情。1900s为你讲述。

德州特辑：《德州扒鸡杀人狂》《德州电锯扒鸡狂》
海盗专场：《夹了逼海盗》《马勒比海盗》

超现实科幻大片：《社会主义好》《变性金刚》逼组开始伸向2012：《2012家有喜事》《2012的第一滴血》 刀郎演的

据说孔子不二雄拍出了《多啦B梦》

周杰伦和林志玲拍的《吃玲》，小妞叫得那个销魂啊
这批是菊花社投资拍的：《唐伯虎点秋菊》《贫民窟的百万菊花》《贫民窟的百万宝贝》

《春天花花装逼会》：逼组致敬之作

《沉默的喜羊羊》：沉默的羔羊致敬之作

《七宗大烟枪》：爱欲生死，不过腾云驾雾之间。

飞机系列：《猜飞机》《秋菊打飞机》

《三枪内衣拍案惊奇》：三枪内衣，暖和舒适，老霸道了，我们一直穿它。

《摸光之城》《暮光之城市管理者》：前者是爱情动作片，后者是动作片，你们懂的。

《阿甘地正传》：英雄甘地的一生

最近在拍的《杜拉拉生殖器》和《全民操人》一样被打上了**。

3D动画《老人与海尔兄弟》硬抗3D《阿凡思密达》

革命导师马克思也遭到恶搞：《玛丽与马克思列宁主义》《马里奥与马克思》

木兰系列：《和花木兰的500天》《关于花木兰的一切》

《春哥乍泄》：这是部**。

《杯具总动员》：赚足你的眼泪。

哈利波特也未能幸免《哈利波特大与F罩杯》《哈里波霸》《哈利波特与塔利班的囚徒》

《放牛班的伍德斯托克音乐节》：李安该知足了。

当然了逼组的男人很快将片名引向了低俗。先是《松岛枫的救赎》再是《迷失东京热》 《武藤兰道》，最后来了一系列欧美**;《荒野大嫖客》《黄昏双飞客》《黄金**客》

接下来这股风开始刮向禁片领域。于是出现了《索马里120天》《科索沃的120天》和《沃尔玛的120天》《奥巴马的120天》

当然IMNB作为一个独立先锋影评网站，一向是我观影的风向标

最后出场的是2010年度大片《剪刀手广电局》，此片一出，上述片子顿时暗淡无光。

8 .6 / 8 .0

Sushi Zo – 01/24/2009

 

Located in a strip mall next to a Starbucks, Sushi Zo hardly seems like an one of LA's top sushi restaurants. I'd been looking for a reason to revisit the restaurant. One of my friends was about to have open heart surgery and we felt a trip to one of the best sushi restaurants in the city would do wonders for his spirit.

The restaurant is pretty sparse in terms of alcohol a modest sake selection and a few beers. We started with a bottle of Tsukasabotan Tokubetsu Junmai "Senchu Hassaku" ("Eight Point Plan"). A pretty approachable sake, a lot of initial sweetness and grain, with plenty of fruitiness on the midpalate and a dry clean finish. We then switched to beers, first Yebisus followed by Kirin.

01: Kumamoto Oyster
This beautiful morsel was the perfect embodiment of a Kumamoto Oyster, a creamy pearl surrounded by slightly crunchy muscle. Flawlessly prepared and served in a bath of ponzu, the harmonious blend of flavors served to heighten my anticipation for the meal ahead.

02: Maguro Sashimi – Bluefin Tuna
Typically I find tuna a bit boring, with no distinctive flavor or texture, but this was one of the fattier examples of tuna blending the clean fresh flavor with a pleasing richness. In addition the generous dollop of fresh wasabi added a sinus clearing kick to the fish.

03: Uni and Ika – Sea Urchin with Squid "Noodles"
This almost looks like some sort of ice cream but in reality it is uni with thin strands of raw squid. The uni has a more liquid texture than normal giving the dish a thick viscous mouthfeel. Still one of the weaker dishes for me as the freshness of the uni didn't seem up to par.

04: Awabi – Abalone
We were served a single baby abalone for the group and I was almost loath to share it. The abalone itself was a bit firmer than usual with a heavy crunch. Mildly flavored, the application of yuzu kosho added a tart peppery kick that excited the palate.

05: Hirame – Halibut
The first nigiri of the night, the halibut was fairly soft, lightly seasoned with salt and citrus. Simple yet still very well done.

06: Hotate – Scallop
One of the best scallop nigiri I have had. The flesh had a soft supple texture and a faint hint of sweetness delicious when taken with a light touch of soy.

07: Aji – Spanish Mackerel
I have been eating Aji ever since I started eating sushi and I have found the fish quality has improved so much over time. From the cooked overly fishy examples to this quivering jelly-like gem. The use of ginger and onion complimented the natural flavor of the fish while the fish was so soft it fairly melted on the tongue.

08: Ha-Gatsuo – Skipjack
A cousin to the ubiquitous tuna served at sushi restaurants across the country. Skipjack sits somewhere in between maguro and toro in terms of fat content and deftly combines the best elements of both. It consistently ranks among my favorite selections in the few restaurants that serve it.

09: Hamachi – Yellowtail
This was a distinctive presentation of yellowtail. The fish was a bit more complex than the typical yellowtail with a softer texture and a lean smoky flavor.

10: Toro – Fatty Tuna
For one of the best sushi restaurants in the city, the toro was fairly lackluster. The fish is uniformly smooth and tender with no gristle or tendon but it lacks the powerful oiliness of the best toros. For some reason we each received two pieces of toro. Maybe they wanted to shower us with luxury but more cynically the extra toro felt like a quick and easy way to fatten the bill.

11: Shima Aji – Striped Jack
Beautiful shimmery skin and pink tinged alabaster flesh. The fish has a slight crunch that gives way to a jelly like interior. The use of soy compliments the light fishiness wonderfully.

12: Amaebi – Sweet Shrimp
I've never been a fan of these smaller sweet shrimp as they tend to be overly creamy. If the creaminess wasn't enough this had a grainy almost frozen texture to it. One of my friends likened the course to a shrimp cocktail, a very apt description.

13: Kinmedai – Golden Eye Snapper
This snapper has a tender silky texture and clean flavor. The use of the homemade soy really elevates this fish to another level.

14: Meji Maguro – Baby Tuna
One of my favorites from my previous visit, the baby tuna has a satisfying dense mouthfeel. The use of soy, citrus, scallion, and ginger draw out the subtle flavor of the fish.

15: Kanpachi – Amberjack
An old favorite, this was a bit softer than the kanpachi during my last visit. The use of yuzu kocho gives an initial spicy kick that mellows into a mild sweetness allowing the fish to come to the fore.

16: Ankimo – Monkfish Liver
I heard that Sushi Zo served a warm ankimo, but it wasn't available during my last visit. The liver had a wonderful buttery soft texture, and a mild sweetness. The ankimo was delicious on its own, but the seaweed wrapping was a bit overpowering.

17: Ono – Wahoo
A popular fish at western restaurants, this is the first time I have seen it in a sushi restaurant. The fish is lightly cooked giving it a soft flaky texture. The common toppings of soy and citrus give the fish a salty-sweet interplay that works well with the natural oiliness of the fish.

18: Sayori – Needlefish
It seems no matter the restaurant, the sayori always is the most visually appealing of the fishes, the silver stripe highlighting the almost luminous white flesh. The needlefish was one of the firmest fishes of the night, with a light flavor that really highlighted the skill of Keizo-san's sauce.

19: Binnaga – Albacore
Another of my favorites during my first visit, the albacore may be even better this time around. Insanely soft and tender the fish has a fattiness more reminiscent of toro than albacore. The house sauce clashed with the oiliness of the fish in a complex and pleasing way.

20: Sake – Salmon
An overly tender salmon, I would have liked a bit more meatiness to the fish. The sweet marinated kelp contrasted nicely with the clea
n fresh flavor of the fish.

21: Aoyagi – Orange Clam
The clam had a dense firmness to it, very satisfying to bite through. The use of yuzu and rock salt worked wonders, balancing out the clam's intense natural brininess.

22: Uni Gunkan Maki – Sea Urchin
This gunkan-maki was almost like an ice cream cone with globules of uni overflowing from the top of the roll. The uni was a bit softer than most, with a texture almost like heavy cream. The use of fresh wasabi adds an element of complexity and helps balance the intense sweetness of the urchin.

22: Ikura Gunkan Maki – Salmon Roe
One of the best Ikura maki I have had in a long while. The globules were very firm and burst with cool brine when bitten.

24: Engawa – Halibut Fin
Another rare type of fish, I know it is served at a couple other restaurants in the area, but this actually my first experience with engawa. I was expecting something firm maybe with a bit of crunch but the meat was more like a nicely cooked fish with a slightly viscous feel.

25: Tai – Red Snapper
A very hit or miss fish depending on the restaurant. Zo's snapper ranks among the best, nice firm crunch and light fishiness, the wasabi really lingered throughout this dish.

26: Anago – Sea Eel
Definitely a leaner expression of anago, extremely soft with a smokiness not found in most eel. The lighter use of sauce really allowed the natural character of the eel to shine.

27: Toro Temaki – Fatty Tuna Hand Roll
Like most strict traditional sushi restaurants, Zo offers the fat cigar-shaped hand rolls stuffed simply with rice and seafood, in this case toro. I felt this preparation was akin to using Kobe beef to make a hamburger as the mashing ruined the typically delicate texture of the toro. Furthermore, the overly liberal dose of wasabi made it difficult to taste anything else.

28: Kurodai – Black Snapper
One of my top three fishes during my first visit. Texturally one of the best fishes, there is something immensely satisfying about the spry crunch and silky even texture.

29: Tako – Octopus
Sliced perfectly, the texture offered both a snappy bite and satisfying meaty chew. The use of salt and lemon accentuated the naturally light flavor of the octopus.

30: Kani Temaki – Blue Crab Hand Roll
One of the better hand rolls I have had of late. The clean sweetness of the shellfish is apparent from the start. The wasabi was used more effectively than in the toro temaki, adding a powerful heat without dominating the dish.

31: Tamago – Egg
A passable tamago, soft and cool it had a slight sweetness and an intense honey ham character to it.

We technically repeated two of the courses, the skipjack and Spanish mackerel, but I decided to set the camera aside and just concentrate on enjoying these last two bites.

32 Yuzu Juice
Dessert always consists of a shot of yuzu juice to cleanse the palate. Served ice cold, the juice has a fruity sweetness that refreshes and invigorates. I would drink this every day if I could, sadly the waitress ignored me when I asked where I could purchase some.

My second visit has solidified Zo's position as the second best sushi restaurant in the city behind Urasawa (although I would like to try Mori again). All the food came to a fairly reasonable $120 per person, not too bad considering we ordered one of everything. Unlike some other sushi restaurants the staff is not big on talk. Keizo-san didn't speak with us until the end of the meal and only then to ask if we had enough. If you want the social niceties that come with sitting at a sushi bar there are plenty of better choices, but if you want a fast-paced exciting sushi experience, I highly recommend Sushi Zo.

I am happy to report that even in the current economic climate, the restaurant is thriving. The friend who recommended the place told me about being the only diner on a Friday Night. During my first visit, the restaurant was about half full; this time we had to wait 15 minutes beyond our reservation time.
