Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

I just watched the 1974 version with Doug McClure, and then the 1977 version of "The People that Time Forgot" with Patrick Wayne and Doug McClure. The dinosaurs and creatures were pretty well pitiful compared to today's technologies. There were a few people in dinosaur suits, a few "fair" animatronic dinosaurs and a few dynamation-type critters (not done by Harryhausen, BTW). They followed the two books be ERB pretty well, actually, and the acting was better than just okay for the time. All in all they made for a nice afternoon with a -15 degree fahrenheit temperature outside.

Oh, I know that. I had just watched those a couple of days ago though and thought about them after I watched the trailer.

So this is the second time Asylum is doing The Land That Time Forgot and I must say does are the best dinos I've seen them do almost close to being somewhat decent.

Did they do that horrible version with C. Thomas Howell as well? Ouch.

Yeah I was like why are we talking about movie again all the way back from 2009 until I saw the trailer.
