Jennifer's Body, Hot or Not?
Who:
Best known for Juno, everyone's favorite story of teenage pregnancy and borderline pedophilia, screenwriter Diablo Cody is preparing to release her second feature film. Jennifer's Body is the film in question, set to be released September 18, 2009.

Cast members include Megan Fox (Transformers), Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls), Adam Brody (The OC) and Juno's parents J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney. Also Amy Sedaris, who many of you might not know of, but she is absolutely fantastic.
What:
Diablo Cody certainly lives up to her name with this one: Jennifer's Body is about a stereotypical bitchy cheerleader (Megan Fox) who becomes posessed by a demon after coming into contact with a Satan-worshipping band, fronted by Nikolai (Adam Brody... in guyliner!). Jennifer's stock character of a plain best friend (Amanda Seyfried) realizes she has to kill Jennifer after boys from their Minnesota high school are brutally and "mysteriously" killed.
Wait, what?
It's billed as a dark comedy and said to be similar to Heathers (which I highly recommend. However, I'm not sure I can recommend this movie. Though having only seen a trailer, I can't exactly tell you to skip it either. Judgement pending. It has a great cast, but I'm squeamish and not sure if I can stomach the cannibalism (Yes, you read that right, cannibalism). I might just stick to rewatching The OC and Mean Girls to get my fix on my preferred actors. But there is one more thing that intrigues me about this flick...
Who Else:
Even if I don't end up seeing this movie, I think I might have to buy the soundtrack. Featuring All Time Low, Cobra Starship, Dashboard Confessional, Panic at the Disco and Silversun Pickups, I don't see how this soundtrack won't become a hit in the scene. It's the new Snakes On A Plane soundtrack but (hopefully) without all the shitty remixes.

But, the soundtrack sounds, kinda, sorta, AMAZING.
I know, right?
And...Megan Fox. Boo. I had to stare at her lying on a motorcycle for much too long during Transformers. This sounds interesting, though.
