This Friday June 5th will mark the first time this Summer that 2 major movies will be dueling it out in their opening weekends as “The Hangover” will battle “Land of the Lost.”  I’m not sure about you guys but I think this battle will be closer than most expect. From straight buzz alone, I feel that The Hangover is a bit of a favorite.  However, I fear to doubt Will Ferrell’s star power; plus Land of the Lost looks pretty good. Let’s go through just a little bit of each movie and conclude on which to see (if you had to choose only ONE) buy I Can’t Think Straight

The Hangover – in maybe the most anticipated comedy of the Summer, The Hangover, has “Old School” director Todd Phillips making his biggest return to the movie world since his smash hit comedy in 2003. In fact, many even think that movie catapulted the careers of Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell to their star status today. Sure, they were big prior to Old School, but reached a new level of stardom after that movie landed them more leading roles.  Now back to The Hangover…we have a cast full of B and C list stars collaborating in a movie based on a Las Vegas bachelor party gone haywire.  For such a simple and over done premise, I’m pretty surprised on how good it really does look.  The trailers are everywhere, the on-screen chemistry looks great,  Zack Galifiankis is one of the funniest people around (he’s also incredible at stand up), and Ed Helms (from “The Office”) lands his biggest movie role to date.  Seeing Helms in the trailer has really generated a surprising amount of buzz as I keep hearing people keep say “oh wait, isn’t that Andy from The Office.”  The show has really made its mark on pop culture TV.  Anyways, the movie does look great and early reviews

are pretty solid.  People 21-30 are constantly talking about this movie and we all want to relive the glory we saw with “Old School.” However, I really think Land of the Lost is going to make a mark on this weekend.

The Dam Busters movie

Darkman II: The Return of Durant dvdrip Though most of my friends have really only given thought to seeing “The Hangover” this weekend, I will not under estimate the power of Will Ferrell.  The man pretty much holds the spot of top dog in the film comedian rankings and is the only A lister with a premiering movie this weekend. People 12-21 hold a special place in their heart for him. With the addition of Danny McBride in this movie, I think it might take some of the market away from “The Hangover.” Yep, “Eastbound and Down” is that popular. It also got picked up for a second season for those who did not know.

Will Ferrell’s movies are typically awesome when they have insanely bizarre plots that we all sort of connect to. A group of grown men starting a fraternity (Old School), a spoof of being in the news industry (Anchorman), and a satire on Nascar (Talladega Nights) had Will Ferrell in his classic roles.  They each had 2 things that really stand out, 1- they all had lines we still say today and 2 – they each got better the more we watched them.  His last couple of movies were all sort of stretches, thus the reason for their somewhat lack of classic humor. In addition, none of them had memorable quotes or were worth the time to re-watch.  “Land of the Lost” however brings Will Ferrell back into that classic role.  And it allows him to create a sci-fi movie spoof that is actually based on a former television show. For that, this movie will be better than expected.  Oh I forgot, it also stars a really hot female lead in Anna Friel from the soccer movie franchise “Goal.”

Prediction – The Hangover – $37 million, Land of the Lost – $33 million

The sheer buzz The Weight of Water hd of The Hangover will defeat Land of the Lost but I think Land of the Lost is worth seeing. Perhaps “UP” even remains as top dog at around $43-45.  Thats my guess.
