men who stare at goats

a pretty strange movie, but a fun one. this movie follows our hero, ewan mcgregor, a journalist, as he tries to make sense of the strange things he discovers. he finds himself caught up with an unusual branch of the military, lead by jeff bridges (who seems to be channeling 'the dude' if he were a hippie... and in the military) that investigates and tests psychics. the story is strange, and everyone in it seems to be having a blast, much of which comes off on screen. one of the best parts is when mcgregor, who played obi wan in the prequel star wars trilogy, makes a reference to feeling like a jedi with all this psychic stuff going on. this one is strange, but a bunch of fun.
