From the Back of a Van

One of our favorite things about living in China is being able to buy copy DVDs of newly released theater movies before they are even released on DVD in the U.S. Oftentimes, the descriptions on these copy DVDs are not proofread, just poorly translated by some guy who speaks a little English, we presume. Would it take that much time and effort to have an English translator do it correctly is always the question on everyone's mind here.

This DVD was even funnier to us, because not only is the description on the back poor Chinglish, but the visual on the front is "hilarious" (according to my husband). Angelina Jolie is not an actress in this movie, she is the writer-director. I hardly think she would approve of this ridiculous photo of herself looking like some kind of vixen. This is a war movie, not a porno flick. We are constantly amused and it never gets old!

The real one from the U.S.:
