The Men Who Stare at DVDs

On Tuesday March 23rd, you too can stare at goats from the comfort of your own home.  That is the day that The Men Who stare at Goats will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The film follows struggling reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) who meets up with Lyn Cassady (Oscar winner George Clooney), a member of a special forces unit of the army trained in para-psychological skills.  He follows the enigmatic Casady on a mission in Iraq to find Bill Django (Oscar  winner Jeff Bridges) the founder of the New Earth Army. The pair track Django down to a training camp run by renegade psychic and long time nemesis of Cassady’s,  Larry Hooper (two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey) and Wilton becomes trapped in a grudge match between Django’s New Earth Army and Hooper’s own band of super soldiers.
