New Release Movies: Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

Quantom: Every now and then a film will come along and tell you exactly what it is from the title alone. Films such as "Batman Begins" and "Snakes on a Plane," among many others. Batman Begins obviously tells us it's about the origins of Batman, but it builds up a rich story throughout the course of the film, which is still continuing two films later. Snakes on a Plane on the other hand, is 90 minutes worth of Samuel L. Jackson and snakes on a plane. So here then, we have "Cowboys & Aliens." The question is, which is it? A film that uses its title as the basis for an intriguing story, or two hours of cowboys and aliens?

Movie Predictions: Cowboys and Aliens

Disclaimer: This prediction is purely based on watching the trailer for the movie and without any knowledge of what this movie is about. We apologise for our ignorance in advance but hey, it's us.

Jables:      First off. Bond and Solo...hawt.
Quantom: Bond looks good. Solo so DAMN old.
J:       [Laughs]
Q:     Also, the title of the movie kind of sucks.
J:      Yeah.
Q:     I thought that with a name like 'Cowboys and Aliens' it would be really light hearted, but it seems to take itself pretty seriously. Okay, so it also has Sam Rockwell.
J:       I'm a fan.
Q:     Not sure about the token bird...isn't she from something?
J:       Tron recently. Olivia Wilde, I remember she was on OC.
Q:     So obviously Bond and her hook up. Going out on a limb to say they'll live happily ever after.
J:       Agreed. Thoughts on the special effects?
Q:      I mean they seem okay, but it reminds me of District 9. It looks good but you're like, "Hey these are graphics." What do you reckon?
J:       They weren't Green Lantern bad but as you say, they stick out like dogs balls.
Q:     [laughs] Green Lantern.
