The Raid 2 (레이드 2) is on CGV

Finally, the much-talked about Indonesian movie 'The Raid 2' is in the theaters across Korea. Although this release is way too late compared to other countries since it was originally premiered on March, this is still a good start for the die-hard fans of gore-action movies---> ME EXCLUDED. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

Among those three movies: I will skip RAID 2. ㅋㅋㅋ since I am squeamish to blood.

But...the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes..and How to Train Your Dragon 2:bring them on! 

The Raid 2 is now showing at selected theaters across Korea. I heard that this movie lovers had been waiting for the release of Gareth Evan's 2nd installment that garnered attention since Sundance Film Festival last year. So...I hope that those avid lovers for such a movie would get what they hoped for. 

As for me, although I am not into this kind of movie, I am happy to know that Indonesian movies are getting worldwide attention, including in Korea like what is happening right now.

Bravo for the team of this Raid 2. * gee..I wish I had enough bravery to see the 청불 (adult-only) movie like this. 

Indonesian Film Festival 2013 @ CGV Yongsan (part 2)

Yes, the line up of movies did not satisfy what I'd expected because I wanted to see more about classical movies, too. But, I understand that the first Indonesian Film Festival ever held in Korea was carried out to give a chance for Koreans and Indonesians living in Seoul to see what they might be missing for the past two years.

So, only representative movies were selected to sort of present 'representatives of Indonesian current cinema.' 

Movie goers could enjoy lounge prior to entering the venue... 

opps..the same pics. 

*But I found the poster ludicrous :-) I mean..the sentence's not finished, yet.

"Let's go on the mysterious film journey across 17,508"

what? ....across 17,508 ...? islands, maybe? 

So, the first movie I happened to see was 9 Summers 10 Autumns.

and it was a surprise for me because mr. Alex Komang, the director as well as one of the actors in the movie did come to Korea and gave us a small preview of what the movie was all about. 

oh, I couldn't believe it.

But...this really made me want to give applause to the committee.

*thanks for bringing the movies to Korean cinema...

next year, again? ^^
