DVD reviews: Cowboys and Aliens and more

Cowboys and Aliens

Who's in it? Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford
The plot  When we first heard of this movie we thought it was a Scary Movie-style spoof, but then, the question was put to us, "Why is an alien arriving in the Mid-west back in the day any more bizarre than it would be now?" Fair point. A stranger (Craig) arrives in the rough desert town of Absolution, with no idea who he is and is turned over to the tyrannical Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). But when they are attacked by aliens, the odd stranger suddenly seems to be their only hope for survival.

Who's in it? Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif
The plot This flick follows conman Tabrez Mirza Khan (Kumar), who films a movie in a small village purely as a guise for robbing a train loaded with precious antiques, and in doing so gets the whole community in a pickle. All the while he’s busy pursuing wannabe actress, Anya (Kaif ). We love Farah Khan’s other work as a director – like Main Hoon Na – and while this is our least favourite of her films, it’s still good for a laugh.
