We need the Jedi more than ever...

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2010)

I have just finished watching "The Men Who Stare at Goats", and honestly, it is a real gem! Very funny, but not outrageous like silly, lame, typical Hollywood movies.
It stands right next to M.A.S.H.,and so.
Interestingly, it is a serious comedy, sometimes I felt watching a Kevin Smith movie, sometimes Coens' movie, however, it is far different, and better than them.
George Clooney is one of the most versatile actor in these years. If you have not been convinced up until now, just watch this film.
Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Bridges acts and support very well, but the great surprise is Ewan McGregor, who seemed to be lost in last years. Still, he starts with a quite annoying character, but he turns to be the height of the film.
Without mentioning anything about the story, it is really a sarcastic, strong, and very-close-to-the-truth viewpoint about humans, USA, and the army...
Directing is OK, cameras too, the music is proper for the story.
This is a real ACTOR movie, and worth to watch it. And/or buy it later...
Really credible, especially in the grotesque scenes, and although it has a narrative style, splitting the film, it is quite enjoyable.
And I was so grateful (and still I am) to bring back the JEDI, showing they are EXISTING, they are AMONG US, and yes, Ewan McGregor can be a JEDI again, without George Lucas...
Just watch it, and feel the POWER!
