Body of Lies trailer
You Americans are incapable of secrets because of your democracy
I have not planned to watch this movie. Too 'drama' for me. After our Taiwan trip there were not a lot of movies and Alan had bought tickets before he told me. There we went. Turned out it's like the movie 'The Kingdom'. Middle East wars. Russell Crowe is too fat. Alan slept a few times (haha) and I thought it's not bad.
