Watch out, Stan Lee! You're not the only old coot trying to cash in again on a decades-old creative burst. Seventies schlockmeisters Sid and Marty Krofft make their bid for Marvel Comics -- like cultural relevance via Will Ferrell's $100 million reinvention of the Saturday morning camp classic, about a trio that gets trapped in a secret world populated with dinosaurs, lizard people, and monkey boys. After one preview screening, a fanboy dubbed it "Anchorman crossed with Jurassic Park." In other words, it's going to make a lot of Chakas. -- David Lidsky

Another anticipated film for this year is The Goods movie. The Goods movie is a film about a car dealership that's been hit hard by the recession, and the star of the film, Jeremy Piven, has to figure out how to make the Fourth of July sale a smashing success and make some fast cash. The film will also feature Will Ferrell. Ferrell has had a riotously successful film career thus far, although his most recent film, Land of the Lost, hasn't exactly been blowing up the box office. If the previous films in his catalog are any indicators, the producers of The Goods movie won't need debt consolidation from making the film.
