Cattle Rustlers From Another Planet

Now that the BIG movie of the season has dropped, the time of transition has begun, from Summer to Oscar. This is the time where we start to see a decrease in the explosions and an increase in drama and carefully planned character development. Usually, this is the time where we say goodbye to the likes of Transformers, GI Joe, and other dumb, action movies of that ilk, and we say hello to the likes of District 9, (500) Days of Summer, and films that, while maybe not the sort that will be recognized come the Academy Awards, nicely allude to the level of quality to come. Cowboys & Aliens is such a film, a truly masterful character study of men pushed to the edge, up against overwhelming odds, with wonderful redemption to be found and... 


Haha, had you going there for a minute, didn't I? No, what Cowboys & Aliens really is, is a a rip-snorting, action packed, genre mash-up that has an awesome concept, but fails to actually live up to it. Performances are passable at best, and the action doesn't do any more than it has to. The whole project seems like it came out because one studio head said, "Pourquoi pas?", which is never a good sign. 


Six shooters vs. lasers. We can do that.. right?

Trailer Trash: Super Bowl Spot Roundup

Congratulations to Green Bay! I know Kai is living the good life right now!

Sunday! Super Bowl Sunday! A day where the lewdest and crudest of people get together to watch the tube, cheer for their team, pound beer, and gain a collective MILLION pounds in chips and dip! It's all about the game on Super Bowl Sunday!

HAHAHA!!! What a laugh! Who are we kidding? No one gives a crap about the game! Ask someone what their favorite part of the game is, and chances are they'll say the commercials, and they'd have every right to. Super Bowl commercials kick ass!

We had plenty of juicy spots for upcoming films at this year's game. See the breakdown here!
