‘The Men Who Stare at Goats’ lacks focus

“The Men Who Stare at Goats” makes comedic hay out of an apparently true effort by the U.S. Army to develop psychic super-soldiers who would conquer the enemy with their minds instead of guns. But while Jon Ronson’s non-fiction book on the subject is probably quite the page-turner, this satirical screen adaptation veers so wildly in tone and temperament that it rarely delivers as either a comedy or a timely satire.

‘Astro Boy’ a wild and wonderful robot romp

Given my somewhat idiosyncratic taste in family films, I should probably start this review with a disclaimer — if you thought I was crazy for championing “Meet the Robinsons” and “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium,” then I’m probably never going to convince you that “Astro Boy” is a delightfully funny and poignant family film that’s not afraid to address adult themes.
