Prehistoric Killing Part Two: Lost in Hell

The title of this review, Lost in Hell, pretty much wraps up the movie, Land of the Lost. Rarely do I consider leaving the theatre after fifteen minutes, but it only took ten to realize this movie wasn't going anywhere. Eventually it becomes difficult to discern the difference between dinosaurs, cavemen, aliens and Will Ferrel. They all become jumbled into one stupid movie. Of course in the end an obsessive need to see what happens at the end kept me sitting in my seat for the entire hour and half, but as originally expected it was not worth the time.

Watching Land of the Lost is a bit like trying to laugh while reading the dictionnary... here give it a shot:

bland
adj., bland·er, bland·est.

1. Characterized by a moderate, unperturbed, or tranquil quality, especially:
a) Pleasant in manner; smooth: a bland smile.
b) Not irritating or stimulating; soothing: a bland diet.
c) Exhibiting no personal worry, embarrassment, or concern: told a series of bland lies.
2.
a) Dull and insipid: a bland little drama.
b) Having little or no distinctive flavor: bland cooking.

The biggest difference is that the dictionary isn't trying.

Will Ferrel was once a man famous for his roles in classic comedies like Old School and Anchorman. Now he will apparently act in any movie that throws a dime at him. This movie had zero potential and the fact that Will Ferrell thought that he had something to gain from playing a role in this movie is slightly disturbing.

It has however opened my eyes to how low Ferrell has sunk, I think I may just give him twenty bucks to star in my new comedy:

DICTIONARY: Letters A-B

Get ready for multiple sequels and more entertainment than Land of the Lost.

Quick Way to Save $10


In today's economy saving money is important. Every penny counts, and if you have an opportunity to save $10 you'd be an idiot not to do it. Well here is how you can save ten bucks: DON'T GO WATCH ANGELS AND DEMONS!

If you read the book you will discover that the screenwriters basically said "fuck the actual point of the movie and lets just make a thriller that takes place in the Vatican". I'm about to spoil the movie for you but it shouldn't matter because hopefully you've already made the decision not to go watch the movie.

The whole thing where the Camerlengo gets the vision from god is scrapped, instead he just reasons it out which completely ruins his entire plan. Of course in the movie he doesn't really have a plan he just did it for shits and giggles anyways so it doesn't matter. He doesn't tell the media either in the movie which seems like a bad idea considering he is supposed to be telling his message to the world.

Also not all the preferati are killed, they save one. Very random.

So if you have read the book you will probably find Angels and Demons to one of the worst movies of all time. If you haven't read it, the movie still probably made your all time bottom ten.

For example in the movie the highly skilled assasin corners the two heroes in a dark castle. He has killed multiple people that night already but he decides to let these two geniues off with a warning of: "stop following me." Now I don't care if you are slow six year old or Ron Howard you should still probably realize that this was unbelievably stupid, although clearly the latter didn't. As a side note, after this incidient the killer proceeded to spiderman himself down a wall and then blow up in a car.

Also I have never seen a blockbuster movie take the plot of a book and make it less intense.

I wasted $10 on this movie, so if you're reading this I beg you - Please do not make the same mistake I did.
