Jennifer Check (Megan Fox) is the sexiest most popular girl in school, envied by all the girls who wants to be her, and desired by all the guys who wants to date her. Jennifer's bff Needy (Amanda Seyfried),have been friends since childhood and the only person Jennifer truly trust, despite Needy's nerdy looks compare to Jennifer, their bond is close and it not hard to understand why their friends. There relationship changes when Jennifer takes Needy to see her favorite indie rock group called Low Shoulder at the local tavern bar in town. Later that night, a devastating fire at the bar where the group was performing killing 13 people, in their small town of Devil's Kettle. Lead singer Nikolai (Adam Brody) convinced Jennifer to accompany the group for a ride into town and to ditch Needy immediately after the accident. Jennifer finds out quickly that the group is not what they seem, and that they all worshipers of Satan; everything goes wrong for Jennifer after that, chaos and mayhem follows her and the boys in town.

This dark comedy written by Diablo Cody is another example of her unique prospected in life. Well written and cast perfectly, this is a must see movie.

I give this movie 4 Stars.

Bright Star



Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish) an out-spoken fashion designer wannabe in London 1818, falls in love with the gifted poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw). The unlikely couple began there secret, but very much passionate love affair. Their love is very much disapprove by John's best friend Charles Brown (Paul Schneider) who feels that Fanny is a distraction to John's work and also she only interested in flirting and titillating the men in town, and not truly in love with John.




This movie is the adaptation about the very short lived, but truly long lasting love between John and Fanny. The movie does drag in some parts, but you leave the theater seeing what real love is and their undying love for each other.


I give this movie 3 1/2 Stars.

Sorority Row




5 sorority sister are playing a practical joke on Danny (Adam Berry) who cheated on their sister Megan (Audrina Patridge), the prank goes out of control when Megan accidentally gets killed. A pact was made to keep the secret, but a year later after the girls graduates college a killer seeks revenge on the sorority sisters, mayhem takes over and many must die.

Sorority row can be described with just two words. Can you say "Movie Cliche"? This movie is one part "Scream" and two parts "I know what you did last summer" toss in hot sexy college girls half dressed and you have the recipe for guys dream scenarios. This movie doesn't promise anything and it delivers what it promise nothing.
I give this movie 2 Stars.
