That would be an interesting film– “Cowboys and Aliens and Smurfs.” Harrison Ford would definitely have my okay to shoot first at the little blue monstrosities.
We don’t have a Cowboys and Aliens review ready for this weekend, so here’s a place to discuss the film, which has opened to substantial box-office.
Below, find the bonus surprise trailer to another mix-genre film we suspect will sink….
If Battleship succeeds not only will we see even less creativity from Hollywood, but reviewers across the country will be required to write, “it’s a hit!”
Cowboys and Aliens… well, I must be getting old or something, because that just invokes a big, what in the hell was Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig thinking when then got involved in this…
As for the Smurfs, I am sure the target audience, my children will love it.
Redbox for both of these though.
I’m not so sure about Cowboys and Aliens either, but I did rather like Alan Tudyk’s comment:

My first reaction on seeing the C&A trailer was, “Man, those guys must be having a blast!” How often do they get to ham it up like that, with all those over-the-top poses and Significant Looks? :)
As for the trailer, the “Battleship” game has so little to it that making a movie out of it is actually a pretty creative endeavour. (And from that trailer, they even managed to apply generous amounts of creative license…)
