FIRST EARTH BATTALION The Real Story Pt.2 By Jim Channon

Gorgeous George Stares At Goats Clooney becomes a psychic soldier Source: Variety Gorgeous George Stares At Goats We suspect that usually George Clooney’s stare only makes him a ladykiller, but today, he’s signing on for a different task: killing goats with only the power of his mind. Yes, he’ll be starring in The Men Who Stare At Goats, to be directed by his producing partner and Good Night, And Good Luck co-writer Grant Heslov. The story’s based around the US Army’s semi-mythical First Earth Battalion, which apparently investigated psychic powers and non-lethal weapons during the late 1970s and 1980s, after Lt. Col. Jim Channon went on a fact-finding mission through the hippy communes of California and came back advocating ginseng regulators, divining tools, omni-directional thought and colourful uniforms so that “individuals will shine through the conformity. Groovy dude. They also had a goat lab at Fort Bragg, where for 25 years soldiers tried to kill goats by staring at them. Allegedly, it worked once, but we suspect that had more to do with the goats by that point probably being quite old. The film’s based on the book all about the events by journalist Jon Ronson, with a script by How To Lose Friends and Alienate People’s Peter Straughan. While Heslov’s directed before, this is his highest profile film to date, what with bestest bud the Cloonster starring. And also staring. So fingers crossed for something truly groovy, man.

Norah Jones First Film – My Blueberry Nights

Anna Chan: Grammy award winning singer Norah Jones brings a musical touch to her big screen debut in “My Blueberry Nights.” Norah Jones talks about her struggles and fears related to her first big screen appearance. Norah Jones is set to star in Wong Kar Wai’s new film ‘My Blueberry Nights’ due for release this April 4. The Grammy-winning singer says she relied on improvisation as much as the script when filming. A great supporting cast helped as well. This is Wong Kar Wai’s first film in English. It is a rich and deeply visual story of losing and finding love filmed across the United States. The decision to do a film in English came after Wong hand picked Jones to star in a film. Attracted by Jones’ looks and cinematic voice, Wong approached her for the film without having met her and in spite of her lack of acting experience. [Wong Kar Wai, Film Director]: “I’m very impressed by Nora, first of all in her talent and in her spirit, because I can see that she is a very confident woman and I also like the freshness, because I was very curious to see what she would do in front of the cameras.” [Norah Jones, Singer/Actress]: “He’s a very musical director, he goes by feel and instinct.” Jones is the daughter of Indian satirist and composer Ravi Shankar. She came to fame with her debut album ‘Come Away With Me’ which won Album of the Year at the 2003 Grammy Awards. In the movie, Jones plays Elizabeth, a girl who embarks on a soul searching journey. The film debuted at the …
