2009: The Year of Death, 3D and Animation

Death, 3D and Animation took over this year, as we saw film profits make over 10 and a half billion dollars. That gross comes courtesy of 3D preniums, perhaps stating that 3D is here to stay.

Death played a big part as well, from Farrah Fawcett to Michael Jackson, the stars that died were tremendous and left their marks on the world forever. I can honestl say that with Michael Jackson, he proves you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Animation really became the star of the year though. When we saw preety bad live-action films (et tu Couples Retreat and Gentleman Bronco's), animation gave us mature and thoughtful fare like Fantastic Mr. Fox & Up. Even usual kiddie fare made us laugh harder like Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Toss all of that in with The Princess and The Frog & Coraline and you have one heckuva impressive lineup.

Live-Action got some great stuff, notable the Star Wars of our time that is Avatar. Brilliance like Where The Wild Things Are also played. Stupid comedies were anjoyable as well like Land of The Lost and Paul Blart.

2009 can be summed up as a landmark year for all of us, changing cinema for good and doing away with the old...and in with the new.

The Y Bomb: Land of The Lost

In this weekly column, we'll look at movies that bombed and why they were a flop

I just reviewed Land of The Lost and felt it was a really funny film. So why did it bomb?

I remember when the film came out. There was a ton of marketing for it. Yet, it seemed to look either too child-friendly or too mature. It's hard to take a film seriously when you first see it's trailer on Disney's Earth and then on Drag Me To Hell. You just don't think the film is worth your time.

Also, Land of The Lost fell into the same problem Bruno and Funny People had: it's unrelatable. Earlier this year we had I Love You, Man. Everyone relates to needing a pal and feeling dated. Who relates to going through time warps? The everyday situation is becoming the norm for comedies. That's probably why Mike Myers flopped with The Love Guru last year.

There may be a market for out-of-this-world comedies, but it's getting smaller by the year. In my opinion, that's why Land of The Lost bombed. Marketing and poor demographic.

DVD Review: Land of The Lost

Land of The Lost was reviled and loathed upon its release this past June. Now, call me crazy, but this film had me laughing riotously throughout. Maybe I have a low IQ, but I liked this film a lot.

This film is about Rick Marshall, a scientist who believes in time warps. He soon tests out a device that travels through time warps with Dr. Holly and tour guide Will. However, the land they discover is full of dinosaurs and lizard like Sleestacks. There soon is trouble ahead and they have to get home before it's too late...

A fun thing in this film are the dinosaurs. I liked Grumpy, a T-Rex that chases after Rick throughout the movie. Although with all the language in the film his name seems too childish, he still is fun to have around since he's very vicious and scary.
Will Ferrel is fun as Rick, as is Danny McBride as Will and Jorma Tacome as the monkey/person Chaka.

The film is a comedy up front, though, and it shows. There's many a good laughs, including a hilarious one at Matt Lauer's expense, including Rick's title of the book he publishes on Time Warps. Another good one is Chaka has a great singing voice. I kid you not!

There are a few missteps, like a motel sequence that goes on WAAAAAAAAAAY too long. However, overall the film is a delight that shouldn't be missed, especially if you liked Will Ferrel's other films like Blades of Glory or Anchorman.

Rating: 7.8 out of 10 or B+

What's a 7 letter word(s) for worst reviewed film of the year? O-L-D D-O-G-S

Old Dogs has the not so cool honor of being the worst reviewed film of the year. 6% of the critics liked it. If you ask me, this film will either just be stupid funny (like Land of The Lost) or just plain stupid (like Daddy Day Camp).

I shall see soon enough. I'll be seeing the movie over the weekend.
