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.

Evan Almighty, a review by addicted2dvd

Evan Almighty


My Thoughts:
OK... I am a huge fan of Bruce Almighty... think it is one of Jim Carey's best movies!  So when I first heard that they were doing a sequel with the character Evan I had mixed feelings... was curios and wanted to see it... but bummed there was no Jim Carey. Not that I would know how they could do it with him again... but bummed all the same. Because of this I didn't allow myself to get to hyped about the movie.. but I think that is always a good thing... whenever I am really hyped about a movie I tend to get let down.

So watching this movie I was enjoying it... then I found myself laughing quite a bit. I don't feel it is as good as Bruce Almighty... but do think it was a really good movie. I can now hardly wait till I get in the mood again... and watch it as a double feature along with Bruce Almighty.

Having read comments that the third season did disappoint a lot of people, I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the point with me. I enjoyed this season much more than season two. In season two they felt obligated to do another season-long mystery with Veronica in the center. For me it felt forced and uninteresting. In season three they instead decided to do two mysteries instead which spanned multiple episodes each. I especially liked the Dean's murder case.
