No big surprise here, but Jordan Mitnzer of Variety absolutely tears into the fourth Final Destination film. As Joe Leydon is so fond of acknowledging, a lack of US press screenings means nothing to an international publication like Variety. This screening took place in Paris. Truth be told, if I were in Paris, I'd try to find something better to do than catch an early screening of The Final Destination (unless of course it would allow me to write-off the whole trip as a business expense). Come what may, I'll let you know what I think after the spouse and I see it on Saturday afternoon (no way in hell are we braving Woodland Hills-to-Hollywood traffic on a Friday night or Saturday night). The good news is that we've got a babysitter all set and the tickets already purchased. The bad news is that two D-Box theater tickets cost a whopping $46. Oh well, see above note about tax write-offs. I haven't paid that much for movie tickets since I took Wendy to the opening night of Dreamgirls at the ArcLight during their one-week exclusive engagement. It was absolutely a four-star presentation of a three-star movie, so hopefully something similar is in store this weekend.Scott Mendelson
