Monkey Business (Part 1: May)

By Bill Gibron

Talk about frontloading your approach. Each week in this first full month of patented popcorn movies finds another famous franchise icon making a major blockbuster bow. Only truly disastrous results from these guaranteed crowd-pleasers will keep the coffers from clogging with cash. [1 May 2007]

Reviews

Captivity (2007)

By Cynthia Fuchs

Hardly exceptional in its brutality or attitude, and distinctly feeble in execution, the film features any number of bad ideas, from its ordinary psycho-killer to obvious plot twist to inept would-be rescuers. [16 July 2007]

Fat Man and Little Boy (1989)

By Matthew Callan

The viewer is left feeling that the Manhattan Project would have been a fantastic topic for a miniseries, but is an awful one for a 120-minute studio flick. [3 May 2004]
