2010 Razzie Award Winners Announced

Ross Miller — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:00:59 +0000

We are less than 24 hours away from finding out who the Academy has awarded for excellence in film this year. But with many of you who proclaim the Oscars meaningless, maybe seeing who gets one of those little golden statuettes isn’t all that big of a deal.

Instead, what some of you may be more interested in is seeing who won a Razzie. The Razzies get given out just before the Oscars every year and honor the very worst movies the previous year had to offer. And isn’t it ironic that one of 2009′s biggest money-spinners, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, tops the list of winners/losers?

I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Here is the 2010 Razzie award winners:

Worst Picture of 2009

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

Worst Actress of 2009

Sandra Bullock (All About Steve)

Worst Actor(s) of 2009

All Three Jonas ...

Parental Warning: Land Of The Lost Is NOT Kid-Friendly

Vic Holtreman — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:05:22 +0000

Right off the bat I’ll say I know I’ll take some heat for this article because I haven’t seen Land of the Lost myself, and no doubt lots of young adult non-parents will be rolling their eyes over the point of this article. However being a parent myself, I thought this was most definitely worth bringing up.

Just as “regular” people use movie reviews to decide whether to see a movie or not, I’ve been looking at reviews about this film – and based on them I’m writing up this warning for parents who may be planning on taking their young children to see this.

You may remember Land of the Lost as a cheesy, innocuous Saturday morning TV show from your youth – so ...

MTV Spoilers Footage: Transformers 2, Watchmen & More

Vic Holtreman — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 04:57:22 +0000

Tonight MTV aired a “Spoilers” show with new footage from Watchmen, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Harry Potter 6, Land of the Lost and a behind the scenes featurette from Star Trek. Out of the three, the only one that actually made me look forward to one of these a little more was (believe it or not) Land of the Lost.

We have the clips for you below.

You can judge for yourself, but to me the Harry Potter footage didn’t influence me either way – they just indicated that there will be both more humor and action in the next film. I was REALLY disappointed by the Star Trek segment because I could have sworn I’d been reading there would be new footage – but there wasn’t. Sure, a lot of behind the scenes stuff – but no ...

Which Movie Trailers Will Air During The Super Bowl?

Rob Keyes — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:51:06 +0000

We’ve all heard stories of the insane amounts of money it costs to run TV spots during the Super Bowl ($3 million for a 30 second spot this year) but it’s certainly not stopping several of the major studios from debuting their highly-anticipated trailers during this year’s broadcast from Tampa Bay.

The following snippet from a Variety article lists the confirmed trailers:

Confirmed for this year’s roster are high-profile titles like Paramount’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” “Star Trek” and “G.I. Joe“; Sony’s “Angels and Demons“; DreamWorks Animation’s “Monsters vs. Aliens“; and Universal’s “Land of the Lost” and its fourth installment in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise. Disney is also planning to use the game to raise the profile for Pixar’s next toon, “Up.”

New Posters: Underworld, Fast & Furious, Land Of The Lost

Rob Keyes — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:02:58 +0000

Here we have a few new posters for your viewing pleasure, including the very firsts for Fast & Furious and Land of the Lost.

Land of the Lost is a comedy which follows a forest ranger and his two kids who mistakenly end up in the land of dinosaurs (and other creatures). It stars Will Ferrell, Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies) and Danny R. McBride (Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder).

I’m pretty big fan of Danny McBride now that I think of it. I think he was pretty hilarious in Pineapple Express and I like how he came out of nowhere two years ago and is now in a lot of the biggest comedies each year. I don’t know much about this movie but if the dinosaurs don’t look terrible, this should be a fun (and funny) flick – if you’re a Will Ferrel fan.

Unbelievable… $100 Million For A Land Of The Lost Movie

Vic Holtreman — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 22:37:16 +0000

The bottom of the barrel for unoriginal movie ideas… could this be it?

Universal Studios is committing $100 MILLION to a comedy based on the old, cheesy Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday morning kid’s show Land of the Lost.

Land of the freaking Lost.

I’m just about speechless. Seriously, what’s left? How much lower can they go for source material for movies? No disrespect to the Kroffts intended, I enjoyed those cheesy Saturday morning shows when I was nine years old. But to base a movie on that show? A hundred million dollars? And turn it into a Will Ferrell comedy? Maybe I should write a spec script for a $100MM Gumby movie (I’d say H.R. Pufnstuf, but I have a feeling that’s already in the works somewhere).

Somebody please tell me this is a prank of some sort. It’s ok, I’ll ...

Potentially good TV show remake: Land of the Lost

Brian Rentschler — Tue, 26 Apr 2005 19:16:41 +0000

Here’s some potentially good news. According to E! Online, Will Ferrell has signed up to play Rick Marshall in a film version of Land of the Lost. For those who aren’t familiar with the Sid and Marty Krofft creation, Rick Marshall and his two children are on a rafting trip when they are somehow transported to another world. They have to deal with dinosaurs, Sleestaks, Chaka and, of course, each other. It was a very silly, very low-budget show that didn’t take itself too seriously, which is why I think casting Will Ferrell in it would be a great idea. Hopefully the writers and producers will try to stay at least somewhat true to the original story instead of going off on a tangent, like the Bewitched crew did.
