Question! What is the best way to feel like royalty?
Went to catch Body of Lies with rawress at GV Gold Class, and boy, did it cost a bomb. However, I'd say the experience was worth paying for because that is as comfortable as one can get in your local theatres. Big comfortable sofas with footrest and adjustable with the touch of a button. I'm telling you, it doesn't get any better than this.
And where else can you get to eat pizzas, ice cream and soup in the theatre without risking getting caught?
Anyways, on to our movie!
Question 2! Who do you trust when you are dealing with the invisible enemy?
Nobody, really.
Body of Lies is a thriller and suspense movie that talks about the war against our invisible enemies. Be prepared to be thrown a whole lot of dialogues, which is quite easily digestible if you pay attention. The show is paced comfortably so that you can catch up, making it a long 2 hour movie.
Littered with suspense and action along the way, the US is portrayed as incapable of securing their terrorist target, making unnecessary sacrifices as a result of improper planning and the lack of patience as a main virtue. Leonardo Di Caprio does a brilliant job in acting as our protagonist. You can see the pain in his eyes as he loses his friend and when his superior botches up his whole operation.
If you are into thinking movies, just go for it. However, if you are looking for a movie that blows shit up, it's time for you to turn the wheel around.
On that note, I would like to advice anyone who's reading this blog to NOT PUT putty (a play-doh like toy) on anyone's hair. Yes. It is evil and dangerous. Stay clear of hair. Trust me.
I need to start jogging soon.
