Cool vs Stool - Cowboys & Aliens

Cowboys & Aliens - Welcome to Earth, pilgrim. Now it's time to die.

What happens when the kick assery of James Bond (the good one, Casino Royale) is focused by proven comic book-action direction and driven by masterful sci-fi story telling? Oh, I know! (pick me, pick me) You get Cowboys & Aliens.

The obvious players in this film are Daniel Craig (Casino Royale) and Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones), and both deliver performances worthy of the best westerns (Unforgiven, High Noon, True Grit). Add Sam Rockwell (Iron Man 2) for some comic relief and a super sexy (bra-less) Olivia Wilde (Tron) into the mix, and you have a fantastic western.
