"Cowboys & Aliens" released 2011

I enjoyed this movie despite all the negativity surrounding it.  Cowboys and Aliens was released into theaters July 29, 2011.  It starred Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell and Olivia Wilde.  Jon Favreau.  Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard were among the producers.

Based on a comic book, the story is about an alien invasion in 1873 New Mexico.  It received mixed reviews but was nominated for several awards for its animation effects in a live action film and for its stunt ensemble. 

"Moon" released 2009

Moon, released July 9, 2009, is a sleeper movie that has won numerous awards for its star Sam Rockwell and its director Duncan Jones.  It was co-produced by Sting's wife, Trudie Styler.

Rolling Stone ranked it as #23 on its list of the top 40 Sci-fi movies of the 21st century.  It was nominated for a BAFTA for Best British Film.
