Good eating to you this holiday What better time to talk about food than this national day of thanksgiving?

Director Grant Heslov has a screenwriting credit on the outstanding Oscar-nominated film “Good Night, and Good Luck.” Unfortunately, the quality of his writing talent did not transfer well to his role as the director of the strange and disjointed farce that is “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” It’s based loosely on journalist Jon Ronson’s book about the U.S. Army’s real efforts to develop a psychic brigade of soldiers with paranormal powers.

Paul Dondero. On the afternoon of Oct. 15, detectives watched as Jason Le Tran, 23, of Fountain Valley, collected the UPS box from the doorstep of a vacant apartment in the 1000 block of South Coast Drive in Costa Mesa, police said.
