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:

Prehistoric Killing Part One: An Epic Victory

Going in to a comedy you expect a decent amount of laughs, some memorable lines, and of course Jack Black. Year One delivers this, with an effective if not classic comedy. Jack Black plays the part of a caveman well, which is unsurprising considering his striking resemblance to a cavemen in the first place. However rising star Michael Cera really steals the show. His witty side comments, pathetic attitude and overall funniness made for lots of laughs.

The movie consists of several bible references, most of which are easy to understand and quite funny (the best without a doubt Abraham killing his son). Year One also puts a creative twist on the Cain and Able story. These scenes keep the movie going in between the duo's epic trip from their home tribe to the sinning, whore filled (much to the delight of our two cavemen), and violent city of Sodom.

By far the funniest parts of the movie take place in Sodom as the cavemen attempt to live among the dangerous Roman-like citizens. Our two heros take their place among the guards. Both cavemen find hilarious love interests in Sodom, with Black being chased by the hot princess, while Cera has to cope with a gay priest.

At the end Year One falls a little near the end when it finds itself in a situation that too many comedies find themselves in, when it starts to take itself too seriously. The final rebellion has its laughs, but it starts to take on a much lamer "greater good" movie feel, as Black and Cera attempt to rescue the villagers from the overpowering rulers.

Year One won't be the best comedy you will see all year, but if you are need of a few good laughs and some good times you can't go wrong with Year One.

Don't Use Roofies...

The Hangover stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and the new breakout comedian of 2009, Zach Galifianakis.

Every line from this movie is quotable, and will make you laugh your ass off. Zach Galifianakis stars as Alan, the fat, lazy, step-brother of the groom-to-be, who seems to fuck up everything he does. Though, everything he does is fucking hilarious. From being a lone wolf pack, to wearing a sexy under armour thong, to drugging everyone out on roofies, Alan makes everyone in the theatre laugh hard.

There's many different aspects of this movie that make everyone want to go and see it. For men, it shows the bachelor party you always wish you had, or revives the memories of your bachelor party. For teens, you can laugh at basically every line said in the movie. For women, theres a cute baby she can say "awwwww" too for the entire movie. And, of course, for the elderly they can get out of your house, and see a quality film with the children.

There is no way that this movie can not make you laugh out loud, and just explode from laughter. This is most likely the funniest movie you will ever see, due to the PURE GENIUS of the entire thing, and will make you wish that your bachelor party was as fucking awesome as his. So I think that everyone in the world should see this movie, just because of the pure genius of it. Zach Galifianakis, we love you... Todd Phillips (the director), we love you... and everyone should "feel it" whenever they can. Anyone who does'nt like this movie should be hanged and their life should be over.
