While I sit here watching “Law & Order,” I’m thinking about the
movie that we saw earlier 
this evening - the curiously named “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” Based on the trailer, i was expecting a comedy. And a comedy is what I got. What I needed, though, was an ending. The
conceit of the film, which is based on a nonfiction book by British
writer Jon Ronson, is that an American journalist named Bob Wilton
(Ewan McGregor) stumbles onto the story of his life. He meets Lyn
Cassidy (George Clooney), a retired “psychic spy” who prefers the title
of Jedi warrior. Seems Cassidy was once part of a U.S. Army team that
tried to harness powers of the human brain to create a new kind
of soldier/Dan Webster, Movies & More. More here.
Question: Which is the next movie you expect to see on the big screen?

2012. I am waiting with bated breath for some seriously conspiracy minded apocalyptic action.
I can also tell you what I am NOT looking forward to and/or seeing: The new Twilight flick. Barf-o-rama!!!!
