BODY OF LIES: THE NEXT GREAT SPY FLICK

While the teaser trailer for "Body of Lies," debuted with "The Dark Knight," it didn't exactly give you an idea of what the film was about. Here's the new, extended trailer that's way better. And you gotta love how Leo is coming into his own as somewhat of a tough guy. First "Gangs of New York," "The Aviator," "The Departed" and the awesome "Blood Diamond," DiCaprio is hands down, one of the best actors in the game today.

As for "Body of Lies": Based on Washington Post columnist David Ignatius' 2007 novel about a CIA operative, Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio), who uncovers a lead on a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan. When Ferris devises a plan to infiltrate his network, he must first win the backing of cunning CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe) and the collegial, but perhaps suspect, head of Jordanian intelligence. Although ostensibly his allies, Ferris questions how far he can really trust these men without putting his entire operation - and his life - on the line.

I know what you mean. Leo's really matured and grown as an actor. He's done a lot of great work. I recently saw Blood Diamond and was blown away. It was amazing.
