Movies Not Screened For Critics
[edit]I think some mentioned should be made of Mr.Cranky's reaction to movies that the producers chose to not screen for critics prior to release. This was generally done because they knew the critics wouldn't like the movie. Mr. Cranky would really go over the top in slamming such a film, including fantasizing ludicrous film content.
