Daddy Day Camp (2007) [PG]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $5.25
Review-lite: Cuba Gooding Jr. takes over Eddie Murphy's role as Charlie Hinton, a dad who three years ago knew nothing about running a day care center, but started Daddy Day Care hopes to repurpose the brand into Daddy Day Camp and get to spend more time with his son. Unfortunately, he and best pal, Phil don't know the first thing about running a camp, and their boyhood camp, Camp Driftwood, with hopes of revitalizing it and themselves. The result is possibly the most trite, annoying, non-funny, overly sappy, warm-hearted family comedy ever made. (click for full details and complete review)

King of Kong (2007) [PG-13]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $11.50
Review-lite: The King of Kong is a well-edited, surprisingly engaging documentary about Steve Wiebe's attempt to unseat Billy Mitchell as the world champ of Donkey Kong under the watchful eye of Billy Mitchell's own groupies. While not as compelling as the power documentaries of Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Moore, it has its fair share of human-fueled drama, enough to sustain the attention and imagination of most for its 70-minute running time.
