I suppose you enjoyed Thor? The only thing keeping me awake in that one was the soundtrack. You have to admit there's something to be said for eye candy. Throughout Cowboys and Aliens there was at least something to watch onscreen. Olivia Wilde. She of the perfect complexion, perfect hair, perfect teeth. Now if we could just find the perfect film for her!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-32432001220173134052011-08-02T01:13:09.633-04:002011-08-02T01:13:09.633-04:00Nice review.

But if the film itself has problems with taking itself too seriously, that spells trouble, mainly because when you have five writers that's never a good sign. Still somewhat fun entertainment. Check out my review when you can!Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-34468714321125467752011-08-01T15:39:26.265-04:002011-08-01T15:39:26.265-04:00I compeltely agree of most everything you said.

But, I didn't really get the movie either. People (us regular folk and professional critics alike) mostly seem to like it.

I did find Dano particularly annoying. I don't like him in general (and what's with his penchant for westerns?). There were definitely some problems. Olivia Wilde is nothing more than eye candy in my opinion. She's sort of what Megan Fox was back around the time of Transformers 2/Jennifer's Body, in terms of hype vs. acting ability anyway. And I found it odd that Harrison Ford was essentially introduced as a villain, an asshole at the very least, and somehow just ended up being a swell guy that consoles Daniel Craig by the end.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394045103473759585noreply@blogger.com
