Drive by Blog: Cowboys and Aliens
I really couldn't have been more pleased from the movie Cowboys and Aliens if they tried! Action, comedy, amazing casting, fun storyline, special effects, explosions, not to mention there are actually COWBOYS AND ALIENS.
The previews give you just enough, showing that Daniel Craig has this mysterious iron cuff that we know is somehow connected to the aliens. Turns out he is an outlaw, gang leader that was abducted by the aliens, and while being held captive, attacked one and stole his dynamite bracelet. Jack (Craig) wakes up in the middle of the desert with no memory except that he can easily take down multiple men in one go, and so does repeatedly. Thumbs up. :)
Favreau may be an action movie genius by playing off the personas of Ford as Indiana Jones, and Craig as James Bond. You bring your beliefs of them with you and immediately accept that they are extreme Badasses. I even felt the presence of Terminator II in the moment where the alien was submerged into the molten gold machine, and we see him dissipate..... Very clever Favreau. Oh and did I mention hell yes, this is what summer movies are suppose to be about!
