5 Scarves
Go See This Movie Now!
I usually wouldn't give you the rating right away, but this movie is too good to play around and make you wait for the rating. This movie has it all: it's hilarious, serious, sad, and is a good look at a bit of our countries troubled past. If you cry and laugh hysterically during the same movie it's probably a 5 scarfer. Great acting and great lines. I'll end this with the best line and then hope that you are inspired to go see it soon.

Little Blue People, Wizards, and Fast Cars
A summer of kid movies! As an urban youth worker I do have to stay up to date with all things that have to do with kids. This summer was no exception as I went and saw The Smurfs, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and Cars 2. Below you will find the score and a brief explanation of each movie.
Smurfs 2.5 - Scarves
See this movie if you like Little Blue People, Cheesy Kid Movies, Warm Fuzzy Feelings, and Weird, Creepy Villains.
Harry Potter 7 - 4.5 Scarves
Great movie! Even non-wizard fans (aka cool people) would probably enjoy this movie. If you are an HP fan you will not be disappointed and to be honest you probably already saw this movie at least once. Follows the book well and is non-stop action packed
Cars 2 - 4 Scarves
Great twist on the story of Lightning McQueen; truly a funny and interesting. Not only do adults like this, but the kids that we took from the youth center and my five year old nephew were all about it. Definitely worth seeing plus Tow Mater steals the show.
The moral of this post is that you shouldn't judge a kid movie by its cover. Instead, judge it by its scarf rating!

Review: Cowboys and Aliens
Top 10 Things I learned from Cowboys and Aliens
10. Never mistake a metal wrist band alien weapon thing for hand-cuffs.
9. Going to the bathroom in a river during an alien attack might be the safest place on earth.
8. Do not let Harrison Ford's cows be killed by aliens.
7. Never call Daniel Craig's possible but not sure girl friend a whore.
6. Dead alien + Native American fire = now living naked alien.
5. Some aliens from other planets speak fluent Apache.
4. Do not look at the white shiny ball.
3. The only way to remove a wrist band alien weapon thing is a kiss from your true love. (Thank you Disney, oh yeah, and this true love must be an alien in disguise)
2. Extra-terrestrials are just as greedy as the next guy. (its all about the money)
1. Best promoter of racial reconciliation = alien attack.
If you have ever wondered what would come from Independence Day, The Bourne Identity and 3:10 to Yuma having a love child, well here is your answer (don't think about the biology and it makes sense). This movie gave me exactly what I expected, a sub-par plot with a few twists and some sweet action scenes. During the middle of this movie I looked over to Diane (my wife; and yes, she going to this movie shows how much she loves me) and said, "This just got weird." Of course she replied, "Its about cowboys and aliens." She was right of course. But I think why the middle was so weird is they tried to give us some character and plot development. The whole time I'm thinking, "I didn't come here to watch a man find himself and an woman walk out of fire. I came to watch cowboys fight aliens." Well, thankfully the end is just that and it was awesome! Overall this was a below average movie with one upside. Cowboys fought aliens. Come on... you knew Cowboys and Indians was overrated...
Rating: 3 scarves (probably too high, but Cowboys did fight aliens)
P.S. Just in case you didn't catch it: don't see this movie if you want more than Cowboys fighting aliens.
