Movie Preview: George Clooney in The Men Who Stare at Goats
After watching the trailer for The Men Who Stare at Goats, I think George Clooney's upcoming movie is going to live up to its quirky title. Based on columnist Jon Ronson's book and inspired by a true story, the film follows Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), a journalist who heads to Iraq to gather research for a story about a secret psychic military movement. Enter Clooney as Lyn Cassady, a soldier who calls himself a Jedi and seems to have the power to back it up.
Movie Preview: Kevin Spacey in Shrink
The story in Shrink seems not unlike that of another movie that I recently previewed, The Answer Man: The guy who's supposed to have all the answers (in this case a famous shrink) is in fact, just as screwed up as the rest of us. Shrink, however, seems to have a few more layers and a little more weight. In fact, I found myself totally absorbed in this story — just by watching the trailer.

Well, it turns out this writer was right: you could absolutely review 21 based on the trailer alone. Having seen previews for this movie (or even having seen a cinematic work put out by Hollywood once or twice), the movie is predictable from start to finish. But you can also probably predict how you'll feel about 21 from the trailer.
