Weekend Movie Forecast: The Informant! Vs. Jennifer's Body

Then there's Jennifer's Body, which stars Megan Fox (the frat-boy's Zooey Deschanel) as a small town high school student who's possessed by a hungry demon.

When you win an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, as Diablo Cody did with her debut script for Juno in 2007, you have reason to feel confident in your talent. For Cody, this turns out to be a dangerous prospect... The dialogue reaches for the darkly funny abstraction of Heathers, but Cody shows off more than she illuminates; even in the middle of the gory climactic sequence, the characters are hurling one-liners at each other like rival battle-rappers. They forget that anything’s at stake."
