Jennifer's Body
A late replacement for Daybreakers, and another film that we enjoyed seeing at TIFF 09, did everyone manage to stay awake for this one - and did anyone spot the Lance Henriksen cameo at the end of the film?
For more on Jennifer's Body then check out our new podcast which features my review of the film alongside soundbites from Megan Fox, Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama which I managed to grab at the Midnight Madness premiere:

Excellent fun, good to see a mainstream horror that isn't basically, just not very good.
The relationship between Jennifer and Needy sort of took me back towards Ginger Snaps sort of territory. Which is not a bad thing as that is also a film that I really like.

Ah ha!! So it was Lance Henriksen at the end, I thought I was imagining it - he's certainly looking his age!
I can't say that I am a Megan Fox fan at all (I wont go into a rant now), film was watchable but not great at all unless you like watching American Pie movies lol.

Mightily dissapointed with this,where was the quick snappy dialogue i was expecting,from the characters? nowhere to be heard,it seemed to just shrink away from its ambition,i expected a real bitch fest instead it was rather dull,megan fox cant save this one sorry but it was too long and a hot actress is nothing without a good story and sadly this lacked it,it might be jennifers body but its an empty vessel thats for sure.

I actually really enjoyed this one but felt it coulda been on earlier as snappy pop culture references at that time of the morning just went WOOSH!!! Right over me head with some of them...
Needy was a good character though

I feel it was better than most of the mainstream horror I have seen in the last year ie Haunting in Conneticut, Walled In, The Unborn and Case 39.
I didn't have any expectations of this so maybe that's why I did not feel disappointed. It's clearly horror for the younger end of the market, American Pie with fangs so to speak.

It was a hybrid and it was done really really well.
The script wasn't quite as good as Juno, but I'm sure that was perfect, so it's hard to follow up.
Loved the needy character and the relationship with her boyfriend.
Even though it was an 80's homage, it still reflects the era really well and I'm pretty sure I'll watch it in 20 years and remember 2009.

I really enjoyed this movie....good to see a decent movie with decent production values and a bit of money spent on it, but would rather see something that isn't out for a while and is some kind of preview. I could go 3 miles to my local cinema to see this this week.
Thanks for the ride, sir.
