LRA writes: Have you ever watched a trailer and had that one scene, that one shot that made you go "Wow, that was cool!"? Or maybe there was something you saw that stuck with you, something that for some reason was in the back of your head and despite how insignificant it was you were waiting for it to show up in the final cut of the film. But when you watched the movie that scene was nowhere to be found or has been altered in a significant way. Well, that is what the Tractor Tire Award of the Week is all about. We try to track down those scenes that didn't make it into the final version of the film and make sense of them. Where in the film was it supposed to be? Why might it have been cut? Why has it been changed? We may not always have the answers for you but at least you will have your piece of mind and know that you aren't crazy. So, this weeks award goes to Cowboys & Aliens!
The mixing of a western with a sci-fi has been done before but never quite like this. That adds quite a bit of excitement to the movie because of all the movies released in 2011 very few were original, and even fewer were original action flicks. The plot isn’t the greatest thing to happen to Hollywood, but the experience sure is fun. With a few twists and turns, and plenty of action, Cowboys & Aliens is enough movie for the average movie-goer to enjoy
MediaStinger: "These movies didn’t necessarily have trailers that blew you away, but at the very least they all had potential to be much better than the actual final product."
Cowboys and Aliens was not a big disappointment to me or anyone else that I know that saw it. We all loved it and for the same reasons. The characters, the actors that played them, the fresh storyline that's not been done...it wasn't a reboot or sequel or prequel..just a new story and different.
I guess we have to agree to disagree on that one.
LOOK OUT! It’s a giant lizard monster thing! We must fight it by talking about movies and games and technology and junk! Listen now!
