Watch it

B-
Pit a reptile the size of a school bus against an American TV-news crew in war-scarred Burundi, and you get Hotel Rwanaconda, a horror movie interested in cheesy scares and drawing attention to the plight of poor Africans. (So no, Primeval is not the ''serial killer'' film promised by the ads.) Costarring a giant CG crocodile, the movie cribs from the Jaws playbook, but it's more polished and ambitious — albeit misguidedly so — than your average genre howler. And it has Prison Break's Dominic Purcell, who favors open-chested shirts in this role, too.
