‘Goats’ has fuzzy vision
A fun tone is undermined by disjointed storytelling in George Clooney’s “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” and it all starts with the disclaimer that opens the movie: “More of this is true than what you might imagine.”

Supernatural success
LOS ANGELES — The critics have spoken. Here’s what more than a few have to say:
“Scariest movie of the decade.” - ‘Getaway’ imperfect but fun “A Perfect Getaway” is essentially one big red herring, flopping around on an idyllic Hawaiian beach, desperately trying to call attention to itself.
-
‘G.I. Joe’ show no go
LOS ANGELES — It’s the biggest movie of the summer that practically no one has seen.

This movie is not a ‘Drag’
The name alone, “Drag Me to Hell,” tells you exactly what this is: an unabashed celebration of B-movie schlockery. But the dichotomies director Sam Raimi presents within that familiar genre are what make this such a kick.
