____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>“The Men Who Stare at Goats” is an exercise in the absurd. Everything from George Clooney’s performance to the film’s supposedly true plot is almost believable – almost.The film follows Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) as a down-on-his-luck reporter who vows to prove his journalistic merit by covering the Iraq War. He has a chance encounter with Lyn Cassady (Clooney), a “Jedi Warrior” in the Army’s psychic warrior program, which sets off a “Pineapple Express”-style romp through the desert. How you feel about putting LSD in the water supply of a base in Iraq, stopping a goat’s heart with your mind and using the “Barney and Friends” theme song to torture insurgents will greatly affect your opinion of “The Men Who Stare at Goats.”Like a rash of other recent movies (“Taking Woodstock,” “Pirate Radio”), “Goats” is directly aimed at aging baby boomers looking to relive parts of their youth. It gives us the obvious hippie references, the classic-rock soundtrack and the nostalgic drug references, which leads me to wonder: Does anyone do LSD anymore? The film’s ending would fit right into an Abbie Hoffman discourse. With enough psychedelic drugs, even war can be a total trip, dude.The movie’s biggest problem is that it only kind of believes in itself. At some moments it’s hilarious, and at others it’s a little too earnest. When the film actually believes that “Now, more than ever, the world needs Jedi,” it falls flat on its face. It’s this awkward blend of dark humor and hippie idealism that holds the film back from being really entertaining or even cohesive. “The Men Who Stare at Goats” wants to be "Catch-22" of the modern era: hilarious, touching and a tad depressing. Instead, it’s a poor mishmash of dark comedy and earnest idealism that makes the film neither edgy nor entertaining.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>“Battlestar Galactica” ended its run as one of the most critically acclaimed sci-fi shows in recent memory. To fill in some of the mythology blanks and tide fans over until the premiere of sister show “Caprica,” the SyFy has given “Battlestar” fans “The Plan.” The movie presents key events from the perspective of two Cylon leaders. For anyone not completely familiar with the overarching plot of the series, “The Plan” makes little to no sense. None of the characters are introduced nor are any of the events given any context.After the movie finished, I felt like I had just seen two hours of disjointed highlights from four seasons of television. I don’t know how many times the movie faded out to black only to cut to some unrelated event. Perhaps if I had faithfully watched each season, “The Plan” would answer some burning plot questions. But without full knowledge of all things “Galactica,” watching “The Plan” is a painful experience.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>“Misdirect” is a great word to include in the title of the new Between the Buried and Me record.Though it follows the same direction as 2007’s widely acclaimed “Colors,” “The Great Misdirect” is six songs of progressive metal that veers wildly from one genre to another on every track. Between the Buried and Me have forged a career out of these genre-hopping shenanigans and thankfully that continues here. Lead single “Obsfrucation” opens with a proggy guitar intro that gives way to some chuggy riffing, a synthy chorus, more riffing, more synths, a death metal riff and probably 50 other parts I don’t have space to describe. Every song on “The Great Misdirect” is crammed with as many parts as possible, and not every riff is memorable. This is particularly true of the band’s more metal moments, which can sound tried and cliche, but overall the “The Great Misdirect” has a good blend of styles, and the musicianship is almost always top notch.

Thomas Miller reviews Coverge's latest album, 'Axe to Grind.'
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>After 20 years, Converge is still pissed off. Few bands in the current metal scene have been as influential as Converge or as consistently unflinching in their sound. Converge’s newest, “Axe to Fall,” is 11 songs of discordant, noisy hardcore driven by speed-metal drums and two songs of spacey atmospherics. It may seem like an odd pairing, but that makes “Axe to Fall” one of the better metal albums of the year.The title track is classic Converge, a short sub-two minutes blast of vocalist Jacob Bannon’s nearly unintelligible screams, dense drop-tuned guitars and a second break down. After 30 minutes of pummeling hardcore, we get “Cruel Bloom” and “Wretched World”, two songs that sound like Radiohead in an insane asylum. “Axe to Fall” is definitely not for everyone, but for fans of abrasive, noisy hardcore, there hasn’t been a better record all year.
