Trailer 2: Cowboys & Aliens

April 14, 2011Movies, VideoCowboys & Aliens, movie synopsis, synopsis, trailerScott Meisner

Here we have the sequel to the November 2010 premiere trailer for Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens. It combines nearly everything we saw in that trailer with the Super Bowl 30-second spot and adds 0h-so-much more. In this brand spankin’ new trailer we are provided with more detail about Daniel Craig’s character and where he comes from. Apparently he was abducted by aliens and instead of killing him the foreign creatures dropped him into Arizona Territory in the year 1873. The weapon they fastened onto his arm looks to be a tracking device that ends up leading the alien race to the desert. Olivia Wilde has some speaking lines here, and co-star Harrison Ford also makes an appearance. Watch the trailer above, and hop after the break to read an updated synopsis.

Cowboys & Aliens releases July 29, and damn it’s gonna be good. Continue reading Trailer 2: Cowboys & Aliens →

This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, but #BrandBowl was trending right next to #SuperBowl in the Twittersphere during the big game today. While the sports-loving percentage of the country kept their minds focused on the Packers and Steelers, the rest of us admittedly didn’t care so much for the game and instead invested our time in watching the commercials placed neatly between timeouts and end of quarters. As you know, companies spend millions of dollars for a 30-second spot during the most watched (sporting) event on TV. So how did they fare this year? All in all they were alright; nothing wildly spectacular caught my attention but they were definitely some stand outs worth mentioning and watching again. From beer to cars to Doritos, tech, and movie trailers–it’s all after the break for you to peruse. Continue reading Super Bowl XLV commercials →

Trailer: Cowboys & Aliens (this will blow your pants off)

November 17, 2010Movies, VideoCowboys & Aliens, Jon Favreau, movie notes, trailerScott Meisner

Jon Favreau, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Damon Lindelof. What do all these names have in common? Each of them serve a pivotal role in the making of Cowboys & Indians, an upcoming sci-fi western. Yes, a SCI-FI WESTERN. It is COWBOYS VERSUS ALIENS. And the human regime is led by the dashing Daniel Craig, the sexy Olivia Wilde, and in a villainous role the veteran Harrison Ford. The flick is based on a 2006 graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. Until now this movie has been shrouded in secrecy; only bits and pieces were shown at this year’s Comic Con. But hot damn does this trailer impress. Lone cowboy Jake Lonergan (Craig), equipped with some foreign weapon attached to his arm, is ready to take on a full scale alien invasion set in the wild west. Um, where do I line up? Right–the movie releases July 29, 2011. Check out some awesome stills in the gallery below.
