Movie: Men Who Stare At Goats

Let me start off by saying this movie was so slowly paced that I nearly fell asleep. George Clooney plays (again) a strange main character role in order to get the viewer to watch. Its sad when you have to bring in a big name to get someone to watch your lame movie. Either case, lets move on to what the movie is about. The premise is about a journalist who learns after meeting Clooney that the U.S government went through a "Hippy Reformation" as I will call it, during the 70s. The reformation was called "The New Earth Army"lead by a leader hippy who convinced the army that they were an elite group of men that possessed strenth in kindness and convinced them they could obtain super powers like 'cloud shifting' or walking though walls . These 'Jedi Knights' as they came to be called were the beginning to a new era in war. Clooney was a close follower of the leader hippy and was (or so he thought) able to be invisible, travel the world with his mind and lets not forget: Kill a goat by staring at it. A huge portion of the 'movement' was lead by LSD. The movie overall was a bomb. I laughed twice during its duration and honestly couldn't wait for the next movie to play. The movie interrogates your mind ~making you wonder, can they really have super powers? Did they or was it the drugs? And Why am I still watching this? Among the flashes of unnecessary scenes of animal abuse and torment, poorly scripted lines and a screen full of desert for a couple hours, I would call this movie a fail...right under Burn After Reading. The best part? The huge LSD trip scene. I think that was the second laugh I had...and last. Overall movie score: 2 for a barely tangible plot and a poor use of film time.
