‘Cowboys & Aliens’ surpasses its cheesy title
A movie with the words “Cowboys” and “Aliens” in the title really has no right to be good, but in the hands of “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau, “Cowboys & Aliens” manages to be a fun time at the very least.

‘Friends with Benefits’ succeeds with star chemistry

‘Transformers’ isn’t saved by more explosions
All I can say is that there will be explosions, beautiful women, fast cars, terrible dialog, product placement, choppy editing, murky cinematography, and overacting galore.
