MEGAMIND takes the usual superhero-supervillain rivalry and turning it upside down (or inside out). The result – voiced by Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, and Tina Fey – is a box office hit, but does it have a brain on its shoulders or is it soft in the head? Find out on this week’s episode of [...]

The big-budget feature film version of LAND OF THE LOST turns out to be an amiable summer popcorn movie, enlivened with eye-popping production design, impressive make-up and special effects, enthusiastic performances, and a handful of good jokes. Unfortunately, the best moments are all on view in the various trailers and film clips available on the [...]

When it comes to putting dinosaurs on the screen, Universal is certainly the studio that knows how, and in LAND OF THE LOST the dinos do not disappoint, thanks to the wonderful creature design work of Crash McCreery (who worked on all three JURASSIC PARK movies) and effects supervisor Bill Westenhofer (THE LION, THE WITCH [...]

Trapped in a dangerous prehistoric world, Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell) tries to cheer his comrades up with a song – unaware that his lifeblood is being drained by a humungous, bloated mosquito.

Will Ferrell’s scientist loses his temper when his attempt to help Chaka only scares off the frightened creature.

Chaka the prehistoric missing link tries to warn Will Ferrell and company about the reptilian Sleestak, but what we have here is failure to communicate.

It takes on a rather thoughtful theme without drowning in the potential pretentiousness of its almost too precious premise. Instead, STRANGER THAN FICTION delivers as a wonderfully romantic comedy that manages [...]
