With tons of soft tissue on ice, geneticists have no shortage of mammoth DNA to play out their fantasy: tweeze a bit of it out, insert it into the ovum of an elephant--a close living cousin--and implant the embryo in the elephant's womb. Before long, a woolly bundle should appear...
Half a dozen college chums reune to reminisce, bicker and bond. This agitated comedy (produced by Lee's cousin Spike) could be called The Big Chillin' if it had a smidge of the 1983 film's wit and charm.

In another scene, Lenny sees the Muslim refugees camped next door and asks her cousin who they are. Irritated that her cousin will not explain what he means by "fallen women" and "rape," she questions a young boy. The boy describes how he hid under dead bodies until the massacre of his village was complete and then went to search for his mother, whom...
