V.A. Musetto<\/a> at the New York Post<\/i> says War<\/a><\/i>, the action movie starring Jet Li and Jason Statham, will not be screened for critics<\/a> before it opens this Friday. But while that might be true in the States, the film actually screened for critics here in Vancouver last night \u2014 perhaps because it was filmed here? (I didn\u2019t see the film myself; I was at the Mr. Bean\u2019s Holiday<\/i> preview screening.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a daytime press screening of Rob Zombie\u2019s remake<\/a> of John Carpenter\u2019s Halloween<\/a><\/i> (1978) that was scheduled for later this week has since been cancelled. The film opens August 31, so there isn\u2019t much time left for any substitute screenings.<\/p>\n

AUG 27 UPDATE: Looks like Variety<\/a><\/i> got to see Halloween<\/i>, at any rate; their review went up today, four days before it opens.<\/p>\n

AUG 28 UPDATE: Lou Lumenick<\/a> of the New York Post<\/i> admits that the Variety<\/i> review of Halloween<\/i> exists, but says, nevertheless, that \u201cThe Weinsteins are not showing this in advance to critics in the U.S., never a good sign.\u201d Then again, the film is apparently being screened this week at the World Film Festival<\/a> in Montreal.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
