Neither a Diablo Cody script or a vampiric Megan Fox have sold critics on Jennifer's Body. Did the feminist subtext convince you, or did the high-school horror outing just drain your patience? It ought to have been a snappy subversion of the horror genre with a feminist subtext and dialogue to die for. But the critics are not convinced that Jennifer's Body, Diablo Cody's first screenplay since the...

Jennifer’s Body (15) Dir. Karyn Kusama Reviewed by Matt Adcock ONE WORD SUMMATION: grisslybabelicious Some girls are just bad news… But none can measure up to the sexy Jennifer (Megan ‘Transformers’ Fox) who sets a whole new standard in being evil. It’s not just that she’s brazen, self centred, slutty and manipulative bitch – Jennifer is literally ‘demonic’...

Scripted by Diablo Cody, who won an Oscar for Juno , this is the week's only vampire movie. A semi-serious, extremely bloody affair, it's set in the town of Devil's Kettle, where a band of Goths sacrifice the high-school beauty (Megan Fox) to Satan to take their band into the big time. Unfortunately she's not a virgin and thus remains alive to become an insatiable flesh-eating bloodsucker, terrorising...

There's a new phobic disorder rampaging Hollywood these last few years it seems, and the folks of Urban Dictionary got a name for it: Junophobia, an irrational fear of teenagers who incorporate more than 10% of Diablo Cody's slang into their lexicon. If you suffer from that condition, don't dunk your marmalade in the trash just yet - there IS help. Empire Online has taken upon themselves to assist...

The Men Who Stare At Goats (12A) (Grant Heslov, 2009, US) George Clooney, Ewan McGregor. 94 mins. A fiction less strange than the truth, this takes the juicy bits from Jon Ronson's startling book on the outer limits of US military research but doesn't quite know what to do with them. The result is an uneven Iraq war escapade with journalist McGregor and unhinged undercover op Clooney, peppered with...

So I'm writing this in advance, which means that, to a certain extent, I'm making up the scores for the excitometer. That is to say some (or a large measure) of excitement is based on the reviews coming out for a film. Not that I always expect to see reviews - it's extremely rare that a Bollywood film will be previewed in the main film press hence they mostly score poorly on the anticipation stakes...

OH DEAR, oh dear. The worst thing about the near-complete failure of screenwriter Diablo Cody’s follow- up to the sublime is that it gives her detractors – small in number, but vociferous – ammunition for a counter- insurgency. See? All she does is knock together smart-Alec aphorisms into a rude, disorganised stream. We told you she was a fraud.

If Diablo Cody doesn’t fit your fantasy of an educated, literary celebrity stripper, maybe the thought of Tom Morello dancing on a pole will get your heart rate—among other things—up.

Megan Fox is pretty scary, though somehow not as scary as she was in Transformers, says Peter Bradshaw Diablo Cody's screenwriting encore to Juno – her superbly gentle and funny teenage-pregnancy comedy– turns out to be a genre high-school horror flick with a satirical edge, starring super-hot Megan Fox as a sexy, popular, manipulative girl who is evil. As Cody's script puts it: not high-school...

Diablo Cody sounds like someone with a devilish tongue – she wrote the super-sassy hit Juno – and it's at full stretch in this high-school horror.

TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) –Well, the Diablo Cody mystique sure ended fast. After a clutch of awards including an Oscar for penning "Juno," she is back in Toronto a scant two years later with "Jennifer's Body." A campy pastiche of horror and high-school movie cliches, the film only rises above standard-issue scare fare by dint of Cody's sneaky sense of humor. The film will most disappoint those who...
