Synopsis: 
A newly possessed cheerleader turns into a killer who specializes in offing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?

To put it lightly this is not directed towards me. I'm not sure who wants to be the person it is directed at, but I do know that those crappy Scary Movies and Epic Movies make money so there are audiences that exist that I will certainly never understand. From the trailer I'm not so sure Megan Fox is going to be happy she begged for "more acting" and less looking hot. While I admit her role in Transformers 2 was ridiculously Bay'd, delivering lines like "Nice hardware Ace" is not exactly taking the fast lane to the good actress club.

Dear Women, You Don't Always Have to Roar

Being a woman, I'm all about the empowerment of women, obviously - but there are times when women just make it too easy to not take them seriously. Case in point:

Lorene Scafaria [who co-wrote "Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist"] and Diablo Cody are usually not a duo, but half of a quartet. With their pals Dana Fox, who wrote “What Happens in Vegas,” and Liz Meriwether, a playwright-turned-screenwriter, they make up a Hollywood powerhouse writing posse who call themselves “The Fempire.”

I liked "Juno", a lot - so my apologies to Diablo Cody - but are we really bragging about "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" and "What Happens in Vegas"? That makes you part of something called a Fempire? You can probably feel how red my face is right now and you are absolutely on point. I don't really know what else to say right now.

Editors Note: I feel obliged to mention that "What Happens in Vegas" was shown to me on a plane, and the only movie I have refused to watch on a plane is "Mad Money". I probably should have denied WHIV because I can never get those two hours back, but you win some, you lose some.
