in theaters: jennifer's body, directed by karyn kusama


If you're headed to the movies this weekend, you might be checking out the horror/comedy Jennifer's Body. Megan Fox, in all her mega-hotness, stars as a high school cheerleader who gets possessed by a demon and begins killing boys in a small town. Whoooo!

It doesn't look great, but the movie's notable because it's written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. But what might make it particularly interesting to you readers is that it's directed by Karyn Kusama, the award-winning filmmaker behind Girlfight. That movie was cool. Aeon Flux, not so much. Anyway, there you go.

UPDATE: Here's an interview with director Karyn Kusama over at Ain't It Cool News: Karyn Kusama And Mr. Beaks Anatomize JENNIFER'S BODY!
