The Men Who Stare at Goats
In this quirky dark comedy inspired by a real life story you will hardly believe is actually true, astonishing revelations about a top-secret wing of the U.S. military come to light when a reporter encounters an enigmatic Special Forces operator on a mind-boggling mission. Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor of Angels & Demons, Miss Potter) is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady (Academy-Award®-winner George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit with unparalleled psychic powers that can read the enemy’s thoughts, pass through solid walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it.

interesting @Jazzyexpat
Having known people who had occult capabilities (which I don't), I found the movie plot to be interesting and well worth the money to buy.
Interesting @xupdrocks
different but interesting..... purchased.... why won't it download to my computer? 2nd purchased movie this week that wouldn't download.
Good Start, Disappointing Finish @t_smith
The movie is quite humorous right up to the end, where it falls flat and is quite disappointing. Still, it's worth watching. The acting is good.

It’s a movie alright, though not getting into the main plot and reasoning of the movie. It is very much so comparable to a TV show that ran once, because it was so bad and kind of good that no one really cared for it at all. Pretty much like a wet log, you can burn it but is gonna need some time to dry(but never got anytime).
Elusively Hilarious @Sup3rm4n89
This film is one of two of my ultimate favorite comedies, the other being the Big Lebowski. The Men Who Stare at Goats is ludicrous and yet believable. The acting and writing serve to portray the controlled insanity that defines the human experience.
