Summer 2011 is going to be quite beefy, but between all the superheroes and the Autobots and Decepticons, the movie I’m most excited to see is Cowboys and Aliens, which hits theaters on July 29. How could this not be nothing but pure win? It stars Harrison Ford (Morning Glory), Daniel Craig (Quantum of Solace), Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy), Sam Rockwell (Conviction), Paul Dano (Knight and Day) and Adam Beach (Flags of Our Fathers), plus it’s directed by John Favreau, …

I don’t know much about this movie and just watched the trailer for the first time, but I have to admit, I’m juiced. “Moon” would appear to be another great sci-fi picture and heaven knows there aren’t many gems as of late.
