The Movie: Monkey Shines (1988)
What Is It?: After
getting hit by a truck, a wheelchair-bound ex-runner employs a super-brained
monkey to do his bidding, which includes a bit of light housework and heavy
murdering. Subtle black comedy or unintentionally camp sincere horror? Either
way, George Romero’s flick is Kong-sized fun.
Why Today?: Today
is Monkey Day. In a perfect world,
every day would be.
