DESCRIPTION

THAT'S MEGAN FOX AS JENNIFER CHECK...A BEAUTIFUL AND CONFIDENT YOUNG WOMAN...IN CONTRAST...HER BEST FRIEND...APPROPRIATELY NAMED NEEDY...PLAYED BY THE SCENE STEALING AMANDA SEYFRIED...IS CLINGY...INSECURE...AND YES...NEEDY...

ONE NIGHT...JENNIFER TAKES NEEDY TO SEE AN INDIE ROCK BAND...BUT TROUBLES ARISE WHEN THE SINISTER ROCKERS SACRIFICE JENNIFER TO THE DEVIL...YOU SEE...THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO SACRIFICE A VIRGIN...AND JENNIFER...IS ANYTHING BUT...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

SO NOW...A DEMON IS CHANNELED INTO JENNIFER AND SHE BECOMES A MANEATER...WATCH OUT BOY SHE'LL CHEW YOU UP!

THIS GOOD GIRL VERSUS BAD GIRL FILM IS TOO OBVIOUS TO BE A SMART SATIRE...TOO PASSIVE TO BE AN ALLEGORY...TOO GENERIC TO PASS AS AN ORIGINAL...AND I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE DIABLO CODY...THE SCRIPTWRITER OF JUNO...WROTE THIS FILM AND SHE WAS EVEN THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER...DIRECTOR KARYN KUSAMA MADE A BY-THE-NUMBERS FILM THAT LACKS BITE! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BODY...BUT WHERE'S THE HEART?

THERE ARE STILL SOME SMART DIALOUGES THOUGH...AND THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN SEYFRIED AND FOX IS PALPABLE...

TEENAGE BOYS WILL FLOCK TO SEE THIS FILM...WHY? BECAUSE OF THIS MUCH-TALKED ABOUT GIRL-ON-GIRL KISSING SCENE...WAIT FOR IT...WAIT FOR IT...OH...PROBABLY NOT...AND FOR THAT...JENNIFER'S BODY GETS 2 HIGH SCHOOL EVIL KISSES...

IN THE INFORMANT...AN OBESE MATT DAMON IS A WHISTELBLOWER! HE'S THE F-B-I'S STAR WITNESS AGAINST AN AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS GIANT HE WORKS FOR...THE TROUBLE IS...HE'S HIDING SOME SECRETS OF HIS OWN...

IF YOU'RE A FAN OF DIRECTOR STEVEN SODERBERGH LIKE I AM...YOU WILL ENJOY THIS DARK COMEDY EVEN THOUGH IN THIS FILM...SODERBERGH RELIED ON TECHNIQUES RATHER THAN SUBSTANCE...BUT DAMON IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW...AND HE DELIVERED A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE AS THE FILM'S UNRELIABLE NARRATOR...

AND FOR THAT...THE INFORMANT! GETS 3 LIAR! KISSES...

BASED ON THE POPULAR CHILDREN'S BOOK...CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS IS A FUN 3-D ANIMATED ADVENTURE ABOUT A TOWN WHERE FOOD FALLS FROM THE SKY...

BILL HADER PROVIDES THE VOICE OF FLINT LOCKWOOD...THE YOUNG SCIENTIST BEHIND THIS INCREDIBLE INVENTION...BUT WHEN THE MACHINE TAKES OVER...IT'S NOW UP TO FLINT TO SAVE THE DAY...

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS IS AN ENGAGING FILM WITH EXQUISITE ANIMATION AND TOP SHELF VOICEWORK...IT'S NOT QUITE THE FOOD FOR THE GODS...BUT IT'S THE SMARTEST FILM THIS WEEKEND AND A PERFECT FAMILY TREAT...

AND FOR THAT...CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS GETS 3 1/2 IT'S RAINING FOOD KISSES...

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT MOVIE BUFFS...CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS IS MY PICK OF THE WEEK...I'M MANNY THE MOVIE GUY...YUM....
