Cowboys and Aliens

In the preview, it looks like Olivia Wilde gets naked. True?

That would be my deciding factor.

I've been waiting on this one for a while. Hopefully going tonight.

I'm with you on this one. I have too much respect for Ms. Wilde for a movie such as this one to expose your in the nude. Such a stunt would be done only to bring in the lasciviously-minded pillagers of purity. As a former follower of Ms. Wilde's twitter account I can say without hesitation that Ms. Wilde is a wonderful and virtuous woman. If she should pose nude, it should be for a work of art, not a sci-fi thriller.

He's certainly full of shite.

Cat killer, remove the plank!

She showed her tits in Alpha Dog, brah

That was before she read my tweets on Twitter.

Getting bad reviews on RT's, but I'm going still. Ive had a bad run of going to shitty movies lately, so beware of the curse.

She was naked for one part of the movie, but you see basically as much of her as if she had clothes on.

Cowboys and Aliens: The first time I saw the trailer for this movie, it now seems like a year ago, I was almost sure this would be a comedy. A cowboy movie...about aliens? That's funny. A little dry humor from Harrison Ford, Wilde and Bond's blue eyes to appease the aesthetes, and some CGI for the kids. The trailer gave promise to an action-cowboy-comedy. But much to my surprise, and chagrin, this movie really is a cowboy movie about aliens.

It seems a recent trend to incorporate elements from two apparently disparate movie genres, what with Super 8 bringing together the 80's genre with sci-fi and all the comic book stories that weave histo-drama with sci-fi. It's anything but seamless. Sci-fi needs to remain in the realm of the nerds. Stop mixing sci-fi with bona fide movie genres. It's hurting my soul.

I discussed this movie with Ms. Wilde on Twitter for the past months. She assured me it would be good, but even with her reassurance, I remained skeptical. She promised me a refund if I didn't like it. Well, needless to say, I shall be contacting her for my $5 back. But I really won't, because I don't want to hurt her feelings. For her sake, please do not tell her what I'm about to tell you.

This movie fails on multiple levels. But the biggest and most irritating is ruining what would have been a good Western if they would have focused on a realistic, non-alien antagonist. Seeing cheaply made aliens running about in a landscape comparable to the heights of cinematography established in Open Range was nothing short of absurd. On the positive side, the movie was perfectly cast, even if Harrison Ford's recent grumpy old man routine is growing old. Ms. Wilde and Amy Adams are two of the finest actresses of this generation.

The introduction of Indians into the movie was a time filler and none of the Indians had a character that could make an audience care. The only relationship that has any transcendence is that between Ford and his Indian servant. Even Wilde and James Bond, despite their beautiful blue eyes, do not have much chemistry. I don't even know if I can say this was a good popcorn flick. Would I watch it again? Absolutely. Watching Olivia on the big screen is worth it and her beauty alone boosts this movie's score by two points, but the movie is still not very good. 4/10
