TIFF ’09 Review: First Thoughts on ‘Jennifer’s Body’
In the first of three reviews, Tex chimes in with his thoughts on 20th Century Fox’s Jennifer’s Body, which arrives in theaters this Friday. “Diablo Cody will certainly not replicate the critical success and accolades that were bestowed upon JUNO with the categorically narrow appeal of a teen horror-comedy. But, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t delivered a satisfying film that will no doubt hold up to (and perhaps even age gracefully with) repeat viewings.” Click the title for the full review and check back to write your own reviews this Friday.

From New Line Cinema and producer Zach Cregger (Director: Barbarian) comes the upcoming sci-fi/horror movie Companion, which has officially received its “R” rating this week.
Companion has been rated “R” by the MPA for…
“Strong violence, sexual content, and language throughout.”
The film’s cast includes Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets,” The Boogeyman) alongside Rupert Friend (Separation), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Lukas Gage (“You”), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), and Jack Quaid (Scream, “The Boys”).
Described as a sci-fi/horror movie, Companion will mark the directorial debut of Drew Hancock, who also wrote the script. At this time, plot details are under wraps.
