...anything," although in this case, since the movie is being released in 3-D, it's a more expensive anything. It is the third in a series of stories revolving around a mammoth named Manny (Ray Romano) and his friends Diego the saber-toothed cat (Denis Leary) and Sid (John Leguizamo). Sid is a sloth, although a parent undereducated in the Ice Age franchise could be forgiven for spending the first half-hour of the movie mystified as to what this ugly thing is supposed to be. In a sitcom, which is really what Dawn of the Dinosaurs most resembles...
...Manny, Diego and Sid have been friends since at least 2002, when they nurtured a human baby whose mother had deposited the infant at their feet and then expired, doubtless reassured that her child was in good hooves/paws/claws.

The series is recalled fondly for its hokey acting and the aliens whose costumes had visible zippers...
...dusting off the 1974 television show Land of the Lost, director Brad Silberling's goal was not to craft a PG-rated romp through the educational terrain of Sid and Marty Krofft's original series, but to tweak and distort all the various elements that made the series a cult sensation in the first place. The movie, which hits theaters Friday, reimagines the space-time of this alternate universe with an eye toward the absurd. The story still centers on disgraced paleontologist Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell), but instead of his family he buddies up with scientist Holly Cantrell (Anna...
