_J_'s Journal: TIFF09/01 Jennifer's Body

Jennifer's Body. Diablo Cody, Megan Fox. Basically Ginger Snaps but the girls aren't sisters so there is a little girl-on-girl action happening. Whenever anyone plays with genre films, which is all of the time these days, it is always interesting to see the ways in which conventions are overturned. Innocent kids are not more likely to survive than not-so-innocent kids. The females are definitely the protagonists. The first act of evil is more a comment on modern kids not wanting to work for their success. That may or may not be true, but I had a lot of fun in this flick.
