The highly anticipated blockbuster genre mash up “Cowboys & Aliens” starring Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell, and Olivia Wilde hits theaters today (July 29th). Supposedly, the premise came from Gary Larson’s The Far Side comic strip, which happens to be one of our all-time favorites. To celebrate its release into the wild (west), we’ve decided to present you with 2 types of women: crazy hot cowgirls & sexy sci-fi chicks who either battle aliens or are aliens themselves. Check out each faction then vote for the group you think is sexiest at the bottom of the post after the jump.

Aliens will soon be descending on the western front in Cowboys & Aliens. In the movies, aliens have always come down to Earth to either greet us or eat us. Sometimes the aliens are a masterpiece of genetics and intelligence. Other times they are just dopey shmucks who just sort of wandered onto our planet accidentally. Hopefully when it happens for real, they’ll be the latter. We pulled up a list of the best and worst aliens, rated by their bad@ssery. Check out the gallery after the jump.

AOL News reported that we (America) would not be able to survive a Battle: Los Angeles style attack from threats beyond our solar system, according to retired Army Colonel John Alexander. As a species I think we know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em, that’s what makes movies in which fellow humans overcome insurmountable odds so entertaining and rewarding. But, some movies really stretch our suspension of disbelief with their extremely lopsided David vs. Goliath battles that are, in reality, un-winnable. Which movies? Find out after the jump!

Ever since Twilight flashed its sparkly fangs onto the silver screen, young girls and crazy cougars everywhere have been going gaga for “monsters” with pale complexions and six packs that us guys can’t compete with. They’ve already made vampires and werewolves pansies and I have my suspicions that mummies and the Creature from the Black Lagoon are next. Here are a few monsters that, no matter how hard female writers may try, won’t be able to turn into sexy models. At least, I hope not. See what makes them so very un-sexy after the jump!

Is Doomsday upon us? With the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan, many believe Mother Nature will do us in. On an episode of Conan, Seth Rogen mentioned George Lucas firmly believed the world would meet its maker in 2012. Harold Camping, a Christian radio broadcaster from California predicts May 21, 2011 is the day we all perish. While weather is a leading candidate for global collapse, others believe alien invasion isn’t that far fetched. It’s been a popular theory in movies, at least. Just look at the titles coming out: Battle: Los Angeles, Paul, Mars Needs Moms, Super 8, Cowboys and Aliens. The list is extensive. Luckily, we’ve narrowed it down to the 10 most memorable. See our picks after the jump!

Today’s WTF news items feature quasi-Italians going back to their quasi-homeland, a Green Bay Packers fan who is currently looking through the Classifieds after a fashion faux pas, and an Indian farmer who really needs to rent M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs”. Read more after the jump!

We all have a stereotypical view of space invaders – they’re typically ugly motherf*ckers. Look no further than E.T., Aliens, Independence Day or the latest alien invasion flick, “Skyline” opening in theaters Friday, 11/12. Everyone thinks these foreign cretins will come to our planet on some sort of UFO and attack. What if they’re already among us like in the new NBC hit The Event?

Alien invasions are never good. Well, except when the invading aliens happen to be a bunch of hot, sexy extraterrestrials who are all about exploring our space. Here’s our official list of the top aliens we would gladly invite to earth any day.

After the early success of The Expendables, it’s only natural that word of a sequel is already out. Everyone will have their speculations as to what actors should join the greatest action ensemble ever, including me. Although there are numerous unknowns who’ve cut their teeth in dozens of action flicks, The Expendables 2 deserves more household names and faces to share the explosions and fighting that gave every man with a pair a grin from ear to ear. Hopefully Arnold (if politically possible) and Bruce will get more screen time in the sequel, but the following actors should definitely be considered for major roles regardless.

In early July, 1947, a mysterious object crashed on a ranch 30 miles north of Roswell. The Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a statement claiming to have recovered a crashed “flying disk.” Since then, our celestial cousins and their sweet spacecrafts have been featured in countless films.

COED’s Most Anticipated Movies of 2010 hailed the film adaptation of “Arrested Development” as the most eagerly awaited release. Talk about your all-time c*cktease. Looking at this year’s tentative slate of box office hopefuls, you might think Hollywood is unoriginal. Even with with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replacing Megan Fox, Transformers 3 has no chance of erasing the soiled diaper that was Revenge of the Fallen.

Gone are the days when men would rule the “tough guy” roles in film. More and more women have made their way into the leading roles where strength and tenacity are key. These women have fought everything from zombies to psychotic murderers, all while bringing class and hotness to the screen. These are the truly badass women of Hollywood and it’s time they get some recognition.

Don’t give up your favorite seat on the couch just because the weather is getting nicer. There are a few worthwhile movies coming out this week on Blu Ray and DVD, especially for fans of the supernatural and martial arts.
