Our movies are back…
The Hollywood movie stand-off between the Indonesian government and the movie distributors will end soon, said Jero Wacik, the Indonesian Minister for Culture and Tourism. I wrote about the cause of our missing Hollywood movies in my other blog post the other day, but after reading the news, I’m skeptical to rejoice because we can’t tell whether the distributors are willing to pay their due taxes.

We want our movies back!
A friend of mine came to Singapore the other day and during her trip here, she makes the best of her time to watch Hollywood movies that is currently playing in the cinemas. “It has been a while”, she said, commenting that there are no new Hollywood movies that are playing in the cinemas back home in Jakarta. Perhaps the last time a Hollywood movie came out was in February. Preposterous! How can it be that there are no foreign movies playing in Indonesia? What happened? Whom do we complain to if we want the movies back in our cinemas?
