the men who stare at goats

i really expected alot more from this movie, its like paying $1000 to go to a zero gravity room, and the person you pay takes you to a pool. depressing right? I know.

George Clooney stars as Lynn Cassidy, a "Jedi Warrior" trained by the us government to use peace and gentleness, not violence, to win wars. I have to admit, there were some funny parts. but most of it was garbage. The opening line which states "more of this is real than you think" makes you want to keep watching, but it just sucks you into an abyss of crap. There were only 5 people in the theatere when i went to see it.

3/10.

The Box

This was one of the more bizarre movies i have seen in a while, there are alot of twists. i was so amazed that i almost puked like 6 times. But anyway, this movie was actually adapted from a short story titled "button,button". i really didn't expect it to be a short story, considering all the twists and mystery and what not, but whoever wrote it must be a genius. The movie itself is astounding, it gives you a look into the life of a couple living paycheck to paycheck. and one morning, a mysterious visitor leaves a box on their doorstep. only to return just as mysteriously and offer them one million dollars and the responsibility of the death of another human being. It took a while to get going, but when it did my skull almost caved in from shear awesomeness. From what i can see this movie had just one flaw, it was supposed to be set in the 60's and i really did not get that out of the film. i give it a 7 out of a potential 10.
