Film - Jennifer's Body

Why didn't people go an see Jennifer's Body? I thought it was really fun. True, there are plenty of people who detest Diablo Cody's distinctive writing style. You have to be able to stomach substituting "jealous" for being "Lime-Green Jell-O," but I think that's cute and perfectly fitting with a high-school horror flick.

Some say the film didn't fare well because people were sick of Megan Fox. Although this may be the case, that's too bad, because she was really perfect in this role. I actually think the movie would have done a lot better if it had delayed its release to the beginning of October. When I was in High School, loads of friends would get together and go see a horror movie around Halloween and this one would have been perfect for those who wanted to see something scary-fun, not truly horrifying (like Paranormal Activity).

Film - Jennifer's Body - Red Band Trailer

The red band trailer for the new Diablo Cody-penned horror movie, "Jennifer's Body" starring Megan Fox, was released earlier this week. I liked Juno a lot, and I like Diablo Cody okay, though I think she's a little too pop-culturish for her own good. I'm not sure how I feel about this movie, though. I'm not crazy about horror movies, though there are a few I am partial to. But I kind of dig this trailer. I'm getting a little excited about this movie in spite of myself. Amanda Seyfield is always good, so that's a plus. Kyle Gallner (who, coincidentally enough has also appeared in both Veronica Mars and Big Love with Seyfield) is also in it, and I keep hoping that kid gets some more jobs. I think he gets overshadowed by less talented, but better looking peers. Unfortunate.

Anyway, what do you think? I'm worried that it will just be meh. But I hope it will be better than meh. Read more!
