"Cowboys & Aliens." Ignore the title, it's actually very good!

I put off watching it all these years because of the title. I finally got around to watching it and really enjoyed it. Here's my review and a trailer:

I thought it was going to be a goofball comedy.

a few days ago. It really is pretty good. The action is good, the actors are good, it's just a fun ride.

I own the DVD and watch it about once a year for the good of my soul or something. I highly recommend it.

Funny story. I was in NM a number of years ago and noticed how much the woman helping me at a store looked like Olivia Wilde. I asked her if people ever told her that, and she said, “Oh that’s interesting. I was her stunt double in a film recently.” I asked her was it Cowboys and Aliens, and she said it was! It was filmed in NM.
