Last night's CME was Cowboys and Aliens. Nice to see Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig in the same movie. It appears Craig is the heir apparent to Ford in the laconic, action hero roles. OK by me. He's excellent at it. It also has Olivia Wilde, who has been a fave of mine since her Black Donnellys days. Not that I would but I don't think I could be a spoiler for this film because the title pretty much gives away the plot. Just look at today's QOTD. That's CME of a high order. I liked it and give it four of five stars. Some didn't, though. See BOTD for a harsher critique.
If you missed this week's Castle season finale, the song below is the one that closed it out. Excellent. Great choice. Full disclosure: It will get in your head and stay there.

Quote from said blog: "Despite a premise that fused two once-reliable genres and a cast featuring both Indiana Jones and James Bond, Jon Favreau’s $163 million Cowboys & Aliens got smurfing smurfed at the box office over the weekend, opening to a measly $36.2 million — well below even the modest $45 million its makers had predicted."
