MINI PLOT: A lone cowboy with no memory of pas leads an uprising against a terror from beyond our world. 1873. Arizona Territory. The city is attacked by marauders from the sky. They all unite and  prepare for an epic showdown for survival.

MINI REVIEW: Movie looks about as western authentic as that Six Gun Territory attraction near Ocala that closed around the time Disney invaded Florida. The story started off decent and when the aliens first came to the old western town and attacked I was satisfied.The script is suitable for dialogue balloons, but that’s okay since it’s based on a comic book. And the aliens can be excused for resembling those fungus monsters that TV commercials warn are living under our toenails.his movie would have been better if it lived up to it’s name “Cowboys and Aliens” but sadly it was more “cowboys and a couple alien scenes.”

LIKES: Actors are so good at appearing convinced that this malarkey is really happening. Plot seems so stupid, but it seemed to work well. The fist fights between humans are brutal and visceral

DISLIKES: Storyline,action and thrills are underwhelming. Does not go with title

Peter Jackson’s another hit movie Dead alive, a nice watch, is a simple premise though with cartoonish tone. Plot is about a flesh eating zombie, which a  socially inept person(Timothy Balme)  tries to hide while maintaining a romance with Paquita.

His mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey at local zoo, who eventually gets sick and dies,and later gets back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors.

Climax: Our dear hero finally cuts a wide swath through the zombie  with the help of a rotary blade lawn mower, leaving the house awash in blood and body parts in order to save his romance. For more information please check imdb

John Carpenter’s “The Thing” a classic from 1982, which was a remake in its own right  from 1951’s “The Thing From Another World”, gets another remake. This time the Director is Matthijs Van Heijningen, a newcomer.

Pre-viewing comments coming in are mainly criticisms with people thinking CGI will ruin this film. I on the other hand think, if it is done well, which I have a feeling it will be because of the delays, the CGI could enhance the creature and make it a spine-tingling and freaky scare flick. We will have to wait and see. Info on The Thing can be found at IMDB.

1. Chatroom – UK horror/thriller that is painfully stupid.
2. Insane – Had potential, some good kills, but way to boring for a slasher.
3. Red River – This takes ultra low budget films to a painful rock bottom.
4. Savage County – Of the 4 this is at least bearable, but has tons of faults.
