A handful of films are coming out in the next few weeks that are aimed at what you might call the “red state” crowd — conservative, Christian, or both — and, as such, none of them are coming to Canada. So I haven’t got a clue what sort of access to these movies critics will have on the American side of the border. But it does seem that at least one of these films will avoid the press altogether. Lou Lumenick reports that An American Carol — a political satire starring Jon Voight as George Washington, Kelsey Grammer as George Patton and Kevin “younger brother of Chris” Farley as a Michael Moore style documentarian — will not be screened for regular movie critics before it opens October 3. For more info on the film, see Entertainment Weekly and the Hollywood Reporter, watch the trailer below, and make of it all what you will.
