![]() ![]() ![]() I call these monsters bug-eyed not to be unkind but to trace their lineage back to the mother lode of BEMs on the covers of such pulp mags as Thrilling Wonder Stories. Their other purpose in journeying unimaginable distances across the void is to use mysterious forces to suck up gold - coins, watches, rings, whatever. But mostly they strafe the town, drop explosive charges behind characters but rarely upon them and reel up human victims into their smaller flying ships in order (need we be told) to study them. ![]() Oh, they arrive in a spaceship that's taller than a skyscraper, and they must have designed it. The aliens, as usual, show limited signs of intelligence. Daniel Craig plays Lonergan, the stagecoach killer, Harrison Ford plays the not enigmatically named Woodrow Dolarhyde, and Keith Carradine is Sheriff Taggart, who has his work cut out for him. Humanity is in danger, and it's up to the rough-hewn cowboys of the Old West to save us.
