Portland is Punished: No Critics Allowed

Perhaps assuming that any professional reviewer would pan it just to avoid being mocked by his colleagues, the promo team for Seed of Chucky explicitly banned all movie reviewers from a recent advance screening in Portland. A screening that was otherwise open to the public. Well, we can see where this is going, and the result was M.E. Russell's entertaining column in The Oregonian which ends with what is actually a pretty favorable review. It also reminds us that Don Mancini managed to find a role for John Waters, so now you have to go see it.
