I went to see a horror movie the other day we'll be reviewing on the show next week, "30 Days of Night." I'm always careful to say I'm not a fan of the genre. Life's too short for that, but I realize they wouldn't keep making slasher movies if there weren't a large audience for them and they must be addressed. We'll see how that one does next week.

On another note, I suspect this week's big box office movie will be "Why Did I Get Married?", the newest Tyler Perry movie which he refused once again to screen for critics. That annoys me.

Not that it'll find a big audience, but why a filmmaker will not let us do our job and see the film before it opens, the way the overwhelming number of movies are viewed, makes me wonder what he has to hide.

Perhaps he doesn't need critics' reviews - he does has a large and loyal fanbase - but it's just bad form. Regardless, it'll be tops, I suspect, only to be pushed aside next week by "Gone, Baby Gone."
