As befits a man who was the driving force behind the Ocean's trilogy, George Clooney knows a thing or two about all-star casts.
That said, even he must be mightily impressed by the all-star line-up assembling for his latest picture, The Men Who Stare At Goats.
For starters, there's Clooney himself - and he was joined today by Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges, who have all signed on to the black comedy, based on the book by Jon Ronson.
The film is just the latest movie to address the situation in Iraq, but it's a good bet that no other Iraq movie has explored the ground that The Men Who Stare At Goats will cover: in other words, the development of psychic warfare. Told you.

Let me be the first to predict another box office bomb.
As confirmed Marxists, these guys simply can't be expected to understand what the market actually wants, which is some light entertainment.
Why in the world anyone would turn to Hollywood, of all places, to get insight into either foreign policy or morality, I'll never know.

Half of the time I go to see a movie just because of the actor(s), like "Bad Santa".
Because I was in the military for 5 years and spend a lot of my time playing Battlefield Bad Company, maybe you can predict what I'll be doing when this movie comes out with some of my favorite actors of all time! I was also born just 2 months after Ewan McGregor and can strongly relate to the Scottish background. I predict this one has great potential for the 30's and 40's crowd. All they need now is a movie with the same actors in space and we'd have a super blockbuster.
