COWBOYS & ALIENS


Cowboys & Aliens is one of those high concept movies Hollywood approves after five or six martinis. Somehow, Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford signed on to this mishmash of elements. Jon Favreau, director of Iron Man, brings the same special effects expertise to this western/SF hybrid. I found this movie lame, but for many movie fans this is the kind of mindless summer movie they crave. GRADE: C+

      I gave an “F” to that Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher mess, KILLERS, Patti. That movie was truly awful. COWBOYS & ALIENS is just silly.

    A C+ from George is like a D or lower from most of us. It sounds stupid.

    I do {heart} Olivia Wilde.

    Just the kind of mindless flick I’ll get through Netflix to watch some afternoon. The “somehow” of Craig and Ford signing on is spelled M*O*N*E*Y.

      Sadly, you’re probably right about the money, Rick. Craig and Ford are talented actors who could have been acting in a movie much better than COWBOYS & ALIENS.
