The blockbusters just keep on coming to our local cineplex. "Harry Potter 7" preceded "Captain America" (Will Marvel comics ever run out of superheroes?). This week, we eagerly anticipate "Cowboys & Aliens"
Will "C&A" be a big hit? Would the New York Yankees defeat your six year old daughter's softball team? Hollywood stacked the deck for this one. It stars the current James Bond (Daniel Craig) and the former Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford). All it needs is a furry Wookie sidekick. The aliens resemble giant dragonflies. An E.T. - type alien just isn't scary enough for modern audiences and with summer in full swing, most people are freaked-out by insects in their everyday lives.
The 1800s Arizona setting is actually a touch of genius. Granted, westerns haven't exactly filled the cineplexes in years, but they guarantee plenty of gunplay which always is a big hit with the Second Amendment crowd. "Fighting off aliens - That's why I have the right to assault weapons and armor-piercing ammo."
I'm camping out in front of the box office for the Midnight Premiere.
