Cowboys & Aliens , director Jon Favreau’s latest high-budget venture, opens in a bleak but picturesque New Mexico landscape in the 1870’s, and a dazed cowboy (Daniel Craig) notices a peculiar electronic bracelet affixed to his wrist. He evidently cannot remember his name or anything else, and he soon wanders into a Western town inhabited by various folks, including a hardened Colonel (Harrison Ford), a mysterious beauty (Olivia Wilde), a frank preacher (M.C. Gainey), and a clueless saloon owner (Sam Rockwell). He discovers that his name is Jake Lonergan, and that he is wanted for a variety of terrible crimes, including murder. However, the threat of an invading alien spacecraft comes to the forefront, as friends and family members of the townspeople are captured by these bizarre creatures that they call “demons” – at that time, humans had yet to invent the term “aliens,” and the thought of another planet with living beings would never have crossed their minds. Lonerga...

Do you... 1. live in the Boston, MA-metro area? 2. love movies? 3. have access to a car or public transportation? 4. want to save $11.50 on a movie ticket? 5. want to see movies for before they are released? 6. want to [occasionally] participate in Q&A sessions with actors, directors, etc.? 7. want this list to be over? You answered "yes" to all seven?  Good for you.  (If not, sorry).  You're in the right place.  While I can't give you screening passes myself, I can help you get them by checking out these sites on the world wide web: - Gofobo -- you need to sign up for an account, but this is the most popular website for attaining screening passes; if it's a "private screening," you'll have to wait for an RSVP code (from various radio stations, newspapers, etc.); but if you click on "open screening," you can see if there are still passes available for that screening - Kiss 108 --  oftentimes, radio stations will give away passes bo...

Crazy, Stupid, Love does not dawdle in introducing its primary conflict: Emily (Julianne Moore) announces that she wants to divorce Cal (Steve Carell, away from his natural Office habitat) while the couple of 25 years is having an unromantic date, but she soon confides that she has been with another man (Kevin Bacon). Cal is far too stunned to react properly, and impulsively jumps out of a moving car.  He enters a local bar that he has passed numerous times, and he notices Jacob (Ryan Gosling, whose abs are indeed real), an overt flirt and expert ladies’ man who fawns over the Hannah (Emma Stone, lovely and charming), although Hannah is about to graduate from law school and is not intimidated or tempted by Jacob’s come-ons. Meanwhile, Cal and Emily’s son, Robbie (Jonah Bobo, embodying a hopelessly-in-love adolescent convincingly), is certain that his babysitter (former America’s Next Top Model contestant Analeigh Tipton) is his soul mate, and in a creatively romantic ...
