The Men Who Stare At Goats

George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey star in this film from 2009 directed by Grant Heslov.

Whacked for sure. Jeff Bridges becomes leader of a division of the military called the New Earh Army, a group of psychics with paranormal abilities who supposedly will end war by conquering foes by remote viewing, phasing through walls, etc. Discovered by reporter McGregor, he follows one of them into Iraq. Is the guy on to something or just crazy.

Compared by many to a Coen Brothers film, I didn't think it came close. But it has a great premise even if it didn't follow through.

Worth a peek.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

1997 film directed by Clint Eastwood stars Kevin Spacey and John Cusack.

Reporter (Cusack) covering Christmas party by Savannah society host Spacey finds that his mild human interest story becomes much more interesting when there is a murder that night and Spacey is the suspect.

Good feel for the Southern atmosphere and some interesting elements of homosexual intrigues, voodoo, and more.

Somewhat long and rambles some, but different and interesting. Good cast is admirable.
