Film Review: Cowboys & Aliens

For movie details, please click here .

Sometimes the title of a film conveys irresistible promise: Strangers on a Train . Sometimes it promises more than the movie delivers: Snakes on a Plane . And sometimes a title is, simply, a great notion. Cowboys & Aliens is the ultimate why-hasn’t-anybody-thought-of-this-before rollicking summer blockbuster-in-waiting whose time has come.

The movie is exactly what you think it is, and it’s as much fun as you would imagine it to be, although there’s nothing novel about its story other than that it mixes up two well-worn genres to make them seem fresh again. The filmmakers— Cowboys & Aliens is a team effort with heavy hitters in every department—had the good sense to play the campy concept straight, rejecting the knowing irony that characterizes so much Hollywood fare. Sure, they gleefully beg, borrow and steal from classic westerns and sci-fi adventures in every scene, roping together so many clichés and tropes you’ll have a hard time discerning John Ford from George Lucas. Yes, the characters are two-dimensional and the plot offers few surprises beyond the curious commingling of six-shooters and ray guns. But Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford deliver rip-roaring performances, the cinematography and production design are spectacular, and the action-serial approach to the material—the Lone Ranger meets Buck Rogers under the Big Sky—will beguile kids and old-timers alike.

Based on the graphic novel by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, Cowboys & Aliens gets the adrenaline flowing with a good old-fashioned punch-up. Mysterious stranger Jake Lonergan (Craig) wakes up wounded under a scorching desert sun with no gun and no clue about the curious manacle strapped to his left wrist. Looking worse for the wear but ever unflappable, he dispatches three bounty hunters (bloody fly-ridden scalps hanging from their saddles) who have the misfortunate to cross his path—Lonergan is a man’s man who doesn’t even bother to squint at his antagonists—then commandeers a horse to ride to the nearest town, Absolution. In short order, Lonergan runs afoul of flinty cattle baron Woodrow Dolarhyde (Ford), who does squint, and with good reason. Just when these two archetypes seem destined to settle the score with fists or bullets—WHAM!

Reliable V95 Digital Velocity 1500-Watt Steam Iron Review | Pur ...

The Reliable iron has a separate chamber and heat source for the water that generates the steam. This means that steam is available at a lower heat setting than usual. Also, the steam is consistent - no spitting, leaking or dribbling. The steam can be used with the iron in a vertical position (for steam-pressing a garment). The iron has two steam settings. The higher steam setting puts forth a tremendous amount of steam - just like a steam generator iron but without having a separate water tank to deal with. Quickly remove wrinkles from clothing and other fabrics with this powerful 1500-watt steam iron. Unlike traditional irons that produce steam with the soleplate heat, the unit features an internal steam generator that not only produces more continuous steam (30g/minute) than conventional irons, but it also allows for adjusting the soleplate temperature to accommodate the fabric being pressed, which means lower temperatures can be used without the fear of water spitting. Even more, the iron's stainless-steel soleplate provides a uniform temperature and concentrated steam holes at the tip for quicker ironing, plus special grooves that help smooth and dry the garment. Its electronic control system includes an LCD panel that displays the temperature level selected, the amount of steam selected, an automatic shut-off indicator, a water-tank refilling indicator, and an anti-scale filter replacement indicator. For added convenience, the steam iron's acoustic warning device beeps when the desired temperature's been reached, the auto shut-off safety system becomes activated, and every time a selection button gets pressed. Other highlights include a 1-1/4-cup water capacity, an 8-1/5-foot cord, and an ergonomically designed handle to reduce hand and wrist stress. The steam iron measures 12 by 4-1/2 by 7 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
