All My Child Spoiler

"Cowboys & Aliens" is awesome (spoilers)

In order to do that, my faith would need to have been slipping. And it has somewhat. The comic book movies I’ve been seeing of late have been hit and miss. I generally liked the “Batman” series reboot (from the series in the ‘90s where I only really enjoyed the Michael Keaton installments). I saw “Watchmen,” the less said about that the better. I saw and enjoyed “Iron Man” but have never got around to seeing “Iron Man 2.” I saw maybe one “Transformers” film, and have never bothered with “Harry Potter.” I didn’t bother with “Spiderman,” either, and I don’t know that I will with the reboot of that series either. I haven’t seen “The Green Lantern” and can’t be bothered to see “The Green Hornet.” “Captain America” unfortunately left me somewhat cold, and “Thor” was OK, but not what I was expecting.

And that’s it. Expectations. I think the people who make trailers are able to concentrate so much awesome into the space of 60 seconds because in some movies there’s maybe exactly 60 seconds of awesome to be presented in a trailer (obviously some movies have lots more), and when you get to a 150-minute movie it’s just plain diluted.

But when I saw the trailer for “Cowboys & Aliens,” I assumed the best. It looked incredible from the word go. And some background, I enjoyed “The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.” and Joss Whedon’s production of “Firefly,” so the concept of the “space western” wasn’t that foreign to me (the way it seems to be over on “Rotten Tomatoes.” Reviews in the 40s? It’s like those people never had childhoods).

True, I didn’t realize until right now that I have no idea why the campsite blew up in an explosion that tossed that drunk guy into the river. Of course it’s not really that important. The main thing is that there’s some gold in post-Civil War Arizona that a gang of alien thugs have crossed the universe to steal. As part of their mission, they fly around in these sort of multi-wing dragonfly numbers and lasso people and drag us back to their main ship and learn our weak spots.

We learn this from Olivia Wilde as Ella, who is apparently an alien whose planet the aliens attacked before they came here. She’s superstrong and she’s apparently a shape-shifter whose body can be reborn in flames.

The main character is Daniel Craig as Jake Lonergan.

Brot calls Jesse at home to tell him David made it through surgery and that Lucy's DNA results are in. After Jesse leaves, Mookie brings Maya over for work. Mookie engages in small talk with Angie as he cases the place. He swipes a statue, but Angie hears it and tells him it's been in her family for years. He wonders how she knew he was looking at it and she explains that her hearing is more acute now and informs him she has memorized everything in that apartment. Before he leaves, Mookie instructs Maya to answer her phone when he calls. Once he's gone, Angie tells Maya Mookie reminds her of her controlling father. Maya defends him, but Angie knows she tenses up when he's around. Angie tells her how her father convinced her to give Frankie up for adoption, which makes Maya cry. Maya insists she's fine, but Angie wants to help.

At the hospital, Jesse learns Maya is Lucy's biological mother. Jesse doesn’t think it's a coincidence that Maya got a job looking after her own kid and fears she wants the baby back. Brot tries to reassure him it'll be okay, but Jesse worries what will happen once Angie finds out their baby died. Jesse finds his son and asks him about Maya. Frankie assures his father Maya can be trusted.

Jake returns home with Amanda's test results. From the look on his face, Amanda assumes she has cancer. He confirms it and says they have to do more tests, but assures her they will beat this together. Jake moves in to hug her, but she says she will lose it if he does. She tells him if she dies, she wants him to find someone to love and to remarry. She wants Trevor to have a mother. Jake won't hear this because they will fight it. Amanda admits she's scared, but Jake reminds her she is strong and brave. Not to mention, she has a support network and love, which will get them through this. She falls into his arms in tears saying she doesn't want to die.

As David wakes up in his hospital room, Griffin says he can thank him for saving his life by telling him the truth. David tells him he's fine so there's nothing to worry about. Griffin remains outraged that David has been testing their research on human beings. He demands to know who besides Maria and Greenlee is involved. David won't tell him. He wants to reveal everything soon, but there might be a minor setback. He isn't sure if Greenlee's leg pain is real or if she's just trying to get information out of him. Griffin panics, but David says everything is under control. Griffin reminds him he will be in the hospital for a while so he needs to know if there are others. David says there are, but he can't tell him who. He won't jeopardize his research, but Griffin promises not to say a word to anyone. David doesn’t believe him now that he is involved with Kendall. David reminds him how he begged him to save Cara and now he's taking some high moral ground. After Griffin leaves, Kendall walks in and accuses him of driving her mother over the edge. She thinks he did it out to for revenge for her shooting him. He counters that he's done more for Kendall than she'll ever know. Kendall knows he's up to something and warns that they will all be watching him. She storms out and runs into Griffin. She confronts him about working with David, demanding to know what exactly he has he been doing to help him. She needs him to tell her everything, but he can't. He says he might be able to tell her down the line, but not now. She responds that it's now or never. She can't see him if he won't tell her the truth. He can't give her honesty right now so they agree they are done. Back in David's room, he instructs someone on the phone to find Dixie and to find her fast.
