THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS – HD Trailer

In this quirky dark comedy inspired by a real life story you will hardly believe is actually true, astonishing revelations about a top-secret wing of the U.S. military come to light when a reporter encounters an enigmatic Special Forces operator on a mind-boggling mission. Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady (Academy Award®winner George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A legion of Warrior Monks with unparalleled psychic powers can read the enemys thoughts, pass through solid walls, and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. Now, the programs founder, Bill Django (Oscar® nominee Jeff Bridges), has gone missing and Cassadys mission is to find him. Intrigued by his new acquaintances far-fetched stories, Bob impulsively decides to accompany him on the search. When the pair tracks Django to a clandestine training camp run by renegade psychic Larry Hooper (two-time Oscar® winner Kevin Spacey), the reporter is trapped in the middle of a grudge match between the forces of Djangos New Earth Army and Hoopers personal militia of super soldiers. In order to survive this wild adventure, Bob will have to outwit an enemy he never thought possible. The Men Who Stare at Goats was inspired by Jon Ronsons non-fiction bestseller of the same name, an eye-opening and often hilarious exploration of the governments attempts to harness paranormal abilities to combat its enemies. “Men Who Stare at Goats” “Overture Films” “George Clooney” “Jeff Bridges” “Ewan McGregor” “Kevin Spacey” War Politics Iraq Afghanistan Vietnam “Mind Power” Telekinesis Science Parody Satire

Must Have Cydia Applications: BossPaper

The fifth in my series of must have Cydia apps, today I focus on a very cool customization application called BossPaper. It allows you to show a preset series of wallpapers to display on your springboard as well as allowing you to choose a custom slideshow based on your own pictures. Unlike themes that can take up lots of resources to do this, BossPaper works well without heavily slowing down your device. I definitely recommend at least go take a look at it.
