Jennifer's Body

I'm quite surprised by the voting the movie received. But then again it goes to show you, that there are quite a few different tastes out there. Jennifers Body isn't the best movie, not this year and definitely not of all time. But it's exactly what you should expect from a movie like this.

Megan Fox plays her role really great, as she did in "How to lose Friends and alienate people" along Simon Pegg. Considering all the media attention she's getting, it must be tough for her to choose her next project. And it's nice to see the girl that was singing and dancing on a Greek island (Mamma Mia), getting her nerd on. She's the "ugly" duckling sort of (yeah I know, if that's ugly, I'm going to marry it) and is a strong counter point to Megan Fox.

The movie is full of ambiguities and that's what I like about it. It has a great script (for a genre movie) and delivers fully on it's premise.

Jennifer and Needy have been friends since childhood. Now in high school, people can't believe that the two are friends, Jennifer, the hot cheerleader, and Needy the geek. All seems well until Jennifer drags Needy to a club to see a band. A fire erupts, and Jennifer is taken with the band. When she comes back, she seems different, she occasionally gets uglier, she always acts like a bitch, and she wears pink and acts all happy while everyone else is morning the loss of some of the students. Why does she act this way, because she has been possessed by a demon. The only way she is able to stay pretty and young is to feed on teenage boys. Now Needy must find a way to rid her friend of the demon, before anyone else is killed.

I enjoyed this movie, and talk about a shocker, I thought this movie was going to be just Megan Fox killing people. And to be honest, I wasn't that far off. It's both scary and funny.

Jennifer's Body - B+ (Memorable)

After reading multiple articles, and watching Megan fox and Diablo Cody's interview I decided to watch this movie again if it works this time and holds on. I was surprised that it actually works better, the dialogues are sharp and witty, the production value, actors performances, gore, humour works better than it was before as it definitely ahead of its time. I liked the movie before but didn't thought it was rewatchable but I have to say I was wrong. Megan Fox sure deserves better, She was sexy, witty, sharp and overall brilliant in the movie. You don't see anyone like that anymore who owns the screen unapologetically sexy and fierce.

The movie is supported by wonderful supporting cast Amanda Seyfried, Chris Pratt, Kyle Gallner, Johnny Simmons, J.K Simmons, Amy Saderis and Adam Brody.

I hope we get to see more unapologetic fierce characters on screen instead of politically correct characters. I sure hope Megan Fox gets some more roles with talented writers and directors and sure more respect from everyone.

I have to admit that I was initially fearing that "Jennifer's Body" was going to be another generic teenage horror movie. But luckily it turned out to transcend mediocrity and be more than an average teenage horror.

It was because of the cast that I had feared as much. I mean, Megan Fox, come on. But she actually stepped up to the plate and delivered where it counted, proving that she is more than just a pretty face.

The story is about a girl who catch a ride with some questionable Guys. And fearing her gone, her friend is relieved to find her coming back home. But Jennifer is not the same person anymore; she is so much more.

As for the story, well, it wasn't revolutionary to the horror genre by any means, but it was entertaining. And it delivered where it had to.

The practical effects were quite good, as were the special effects. The slow breakdown of Jennifer's body throughout the movie was particularly impressive.

I have seen this movie twice now, granted with years in between, but the movie does have enough contents to sustain more than just a single viewing.

7/10 - very campy, very funny, and memorable feminist horror comedy is Megan Fox at her best and is certainly worth of the cult following it has developed.
