Who couldn’t enjoy cowboys in a movie with aliens? The premise is there, the team is there and everything sounds so like a lot of fun. It’s a solid movie, but it does fall a touch short of expectations. That said…I’d still pick it up and take a peek. READ THE FULL THEATRICAL REVIEW

Pick of the Week

To purely blow out the Blu-ray player – I say Cowboys & Aliens will put your system to the test. The Hangover 2 will be one of the films that is rewatchable as a comedy, though there are better comedies out there.

Thanks!
