The Men Who Stare at Goats
NaBloPoMo Day 9
Just the title of the movie made me giggle just a bit. The movie itself was bizarre and funny, and I was pleasantly surprised that George Clooney did a good job. I don’t know why I’m always surprised when Clooney does a good job at acting. It could just be the memories of his kind-of-screwup, slightly helpless Doug Ross on ER. Ewan MacGregor, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey were, as usual, entertaining and convincing… and in Spacey’s case, just a tad more than a little creepy.

I’m hesitant to go see this one. It reminds me of Burn After Reading. That was too twisted for me. And it had an amzing cast as well.
