I’m not sure what’s new this time around, though.
#COWBOYS AND ALIENS DVD TRIAL#
I would still recommend that film for the first part alone, but if there’s any documentary to rent this week it’s Jean-Xavier de Lestrade’s “The Staircase,” a brilliantly absorbing eight-part miniseries about a man on trial for murdering his wife. Recommended If You Like: chess “Man on Wire” “Rocky IV” It’s all as interesting as a report of that kind sounds like, but nothing more. What’s on screen is just what Garbus has learned and can now share with us as a proxy (with help from the interviewed experts). It definitely feels like a film where the filmmaker got an idea to make a doc about this intriguing person who had just recently died and then went to town researching him and pouring over whatever footage and photographs of him she could get a hold of.

Garbus doesn’t seem too passionate about the game nor even the player the film is focused on. Because either the doc is a biography or it isn’t. government or his eventual return to Iceland for final years asylum. I kind of wish the film had concentrated even more on the the time surrounding the 1972 games, even if that would mean very little address of the illegal 1992 re-match in Yugoslavia that got him in trouble with the U.S. Though I like the look of Liz Garbus’s “Bobby Fischer Against the World” and enjoyed the riveting first half, I ultimately don’t see it as having a point. Recommended if you like: “The Hangover” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”‘ “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”Īt least there are some documentaries out on home video, right? Well, even the biggest nonfiction title hitting DVD today is something of a disappointment.
#COWBOYS AND ALIENS DVD MOVIE#
In a single scene, the movie manages to reduce itself to the level of uninspired dick jokes and tired homophobic humor.

The rationale seems to be that the only way to outdo a drunken wedding in Vegas is to bring about the unthinkable: gay sex.
#COWBOYS AND ALIENS DVD FULL#
Suddenly the frame is full of them, previously unnoticed on the transgender staff, which is designed to set the target audience into a boisterous combination of laughter and retching. In the spirit of ratcheting up the outrageousness, it is revealed in the sequel (at almost exactly the same place in the narrative) that not only did he have sex with another stripper, but she’s got a penis. Daniel Walber saw it as so much worse, noting that it does attempt to top the original, only in the wrong ways, resulting a movie that is “loud, racially insensitive and homophobic.” From his review, posted May 27: If that movie is not racially offensive enough, there’s always Todd Phillips’ “The Hangover Part II,” which many simply found disappointing for its rehash of the story from the first film. Recommended If You Like: “Battlefield Earth” “Unknown” “The Time Machine” (2002 version) Even if “Aliens & Cowboys” had a better ring to it, the phrasing would be incorrect. Notice that in the title “Cowboys & Aliens,” it’s the Indians who are substituted for new bad guys. Because by having white guys as the heroes, even with assistance from an Apache tribe, it’s as if to say, “this is how it’s done.” I guess rather than today’s usual white guilt, this is more an act of white innocence with a ton of white pride - like a declaration that we’re strong enough to avert invasion, and it’s not our fault that others weren’t. Mostly, though, it’s a kind of slap in the face to the Native Americans and anyone else conquered and exploited by the European invaders. We’re getting to play the victim, and the hero, and the survivor. From my original response to “Cowboys & Aliens” on July 29: But more than the lack of great storytelling and thrilling spectacle, I was upset with the obnoxious message of the film, which is far worse than any issue one can have with “The Help” (which is also out on home video today). One of the most disappointing movies of the year, and not just financially, is Jon Favreau’s “Cowboys & Aliens,” a blockbuster mash-up of the Western and the alien invasion genres. Looking for something to rent this week? Here’s what we had to say about the films out now on DVD/Blu-ray today:
