New York’s David Edelstein, too, is disappointed that neither of the horror movies in wide release this weekend will be screened for critics. Over at the Projectionist, he writes: “I very much wanted to see Halloween II in mid-August and do a Q&A with Rob Zombie, who never has much to say on his commentary tracks beyond the logistics of particular shots … Even when I’m squirming (often), I’m in awe of his in-your-face, kinetic way of shooting.” Also, he reviews Ang Lee’s new Taking Woodstock here.
