A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

THIS ONE MIGHT REALLY HURT: I can't be the only one who's noticed that both Dimension/Miramax and Sony have major movie releases this weekend ("Cursed" and "Man Of The House," respectively), neither of which has been screened in advance for critics. I can't remember a weekend when there's been two major releases, neither of which screened for critics--can anyone? Lions Gate screened its mini-major release of "Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman," though perhaps they shouldn't have. So just how bad are they? I mean, New Line had the guys to screen "Son of the Mask" last week, and that presently has a 4% fresh rating over at Rotten Tomatoes. We'll be staying on stop of the story and helping you understand the pain.
