Ozawa movie to premiere on Thursday

Maria Ozawa (JP)Maria Ozawa (JP)A movie starring Japanese pornstar Maria Ozawa, better known as Miyabi, is set to premiere on Thursday after the Film Censorship Institute approved its screening.

Ody Mulya Hidayat of Maxima, the film’s producer, said Tuesday the movie, titled “Munculik Miyabi” (Abducting Miyabi), was rated under parental guidance suitable for youths.

“The film went through the censorship institute almost uncut,” Ody said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

He added there was no seductive stage act by Miyabi displayed in the movie. “It’s a comedy movie,” he said.

Officials at the censorship institute have promised to help promote the movie, Ody said.

The plan to produce the film sparked uproar last year. The controversy climaxed with interim tourism and culture minister Muhammad Nuh banning Ozawa from visiting the country for shooting.

Army: Gunmen kill Indonesia soldier in Papua

 Associated Press, Jayapura | Thu, 07/21/2011 6:47 PM An army officer says unidentified gunmen have ambushed Indonesia soldiers and killed one of them in the easternmost province of Papua. The chief army officer in Papua says soldiers are still searching for the gunmen. Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu said the ambush Thursday morning happened outside a village in the hilly district of Puncak Jaya. Triassunu said the victim was a first private killed by a shot to his head. No information was available on the other soldiers. The attack occurred one day after a military tribunal indicted three low-ranking soldiers for killing a civilian in Puncak Jaya last year. Papua is a former Dutch colony incorporated into Indonesia in 1969 after a U.N.-sponsored ballot. A small, poorly armed separatist movement has battled for independence ever since.
