MOVIE REVUE: An Old Frontier for Cowboys & Aliens

A movie with a premise like Cowboys & Aliens might muster plenty of unwarranted criticism from biased moviegoers, but its content isn’t as black-and-white as its title might suggest. Jon Favreau’s $180 Million blockbuster-to-be is unquestionably an epic, but it unwittingly parlays its winning premise into a veritable roulette wheel of formulaic fallbacks, diminishing its confidence as a genre crossover. That being said, it’s also an ambitious and well crafted sci-fi action film that transposes elements from a tired theme with a fresh setting in an effort to revitalize a story that dates back to the 1950s.

MOVIE REVUE: Cowboys & Aliens: A Meditation

And now, for Hollywood’s latest comic book adaptation, Cowboys & Aliens.  I don’t know anything about the comic on which this film is based, so there will be no comparison between the two.  There will be no summary, nor will there be a discussion of plot found here; the movie gives you exactly what the title promises – cowboys and aliens – and that’s all you need to know.  However, what follows this paragraph is more of a discussion piece.  I apologize in advance; this piece may seem schizophrenic and disjointed, but so are my feelings about the movie.

MOVIE NEWS: Jon Favreau is Out

MOVIE REVUE: Iron Man 2 Hot for Summertime

 

With the current trend of Hollywood movies, sequels have to follow a unique blend of key ingredients in order to make it taste good. First, it has to keep the spirit of the first film alive and well. Next, it has to bigger, better, and stronger than the last. The sequel has to give us that sweet taste that we want to come back for more. Finally, the next movie has to give you more insight of the characters we grew to know from the first movie then wrap it all up with a new story that appeases a newbie. While Iron Man 2 had some ups and downs like a roller coasters, it still delivers high quality entertainment with its action scenes, less CGI, and solved the problems of the first Iron Man. Truly; this movie is the front runner of the 2010 summer of movies!

MOVIE REVUE: G-Force Doesn’t Push the Envelope, It Glides!

Blaster & Juarez - 2 of the Amazing G-Force

G-Force tells the story of a team of special agent rodents who were sent on a mission for the U.S. Government. The team was trained by Ben (Zach Galifianakis) who has been training them for three years to take on the missions the FBI cannot handle.

The team was threatened by the government to be shutdown, but they performed one mission to prove their might. Their latest mission was to infiltrate the home of Dr. Saber (Bill Nighy) and retrieve information of Operation: Clusterform. Clusterform was in reality a code sent to computer chips in Sabersense Appliances (The largest appliance company in the world) to turn them into killing machines that will exterminate the human race.
