The Men Who Stare at Goats

The Men Who Stare at Goats ticketstubThe thing is, I'm not sure what the point of this movie is. It's funny and kinda kooky and maybe they want you to think "Really? This is what the US government has been doing with my tax money?" or maybe there just wasn't a point. I came out confused because I couldn't decide if I had enjoyed myself or not. I really wanted to feel something about what was going on, but instead, it was just funny and kooky and that was it. Nothing emotional, nothing to get you thinking, no real drama, and in particular, a scene in which a soldier (on LSD and naked) starts shooting up an Army base (without actually hitting anyone) seemed unfortunately timed. So in the end, this movie was entertaining, but not especially interesting.

2/5

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@kumailn Funny, at first I thought you were referring to the now defunct game studio.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
