Men Who Stare At Scripts

Just watched new Clooney movie "Men Who Stare At Goats" inspired by hippie era U.S. Army project to experiment with "Psychic Warfare". Where soldiers among other things tried to kill animals by staring at them. The movie has great actors like Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey, who all lift the movie. A movie which lacks in self confidence. It is a wibbly-wobbly type of movie, which don't know really what it is about, and why. Parts of it are just great, and parts of it are just sad or plain boring. My personal opinion is that it is great when it is about the psychic experimenting at the Army base in the 70's, but loses gusto when the contemporary Iraq-scenes are portrayed. Worth watching? Yes, I'd say so, the Psychic Boot Camp scenes with Clooney in a 70's wig and mustache are dead funny.
