My Thoughts:
Another one I enjoyed quite a bit. I loved the little extra comedy added to this movie. It made for a nice little change of pace. I also like how the movies continued to start basically where the last one left off. I especially liked the scenes when the crew went back in time to find the humpback whales... and how they were... as Kirk said... not at their best. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of a reaction from Gillian (the marine biologist) when she was beamed onto the ship and when she first seen Spock without the headband making it obvious he was an alien. It just seemed like it should have shocked her more then it did. Even with being prepared by what Kirk told her earlier.

The Men Who Stare at Goats, a review by RossRoy

WHAT THEY SAY

In this comedic look at real life evetns that are almost too bizarre to believe, reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) teams up with Lyn Cassidy (George Clooney) and discovers an experimental top-secret wing of the U.S. military. Here soldiers are trained to change the ways wars are fought through New Age psychic powers by passing through walls, reading the enemy's thoughts and even killing a goat by simply staring at it. Inspired by Jon Ronson's non-fiction best-seller of the same name, this is an eye-opening and hilarious story of the government's attempts to harness soldier's paranormal abilities in order to combat its enemies.

MY THOUGHTS

I really liked this movie! It's not an out and out comedy. It is really absurd at times, and it does have moments of laugh out loud moments. All four main actors are really great in their role. I particularly loved Kevin Spacey.. but I do have a "soft spot" for him. I like him in pretty much anything he's done.

A good episode. Though you have to suspend your disbelieve that nobody notices that Ms. Fraser is a woman. Also Fraser must have experience with wearing women's shoes. He was walking like an expert
