Jennifer's Body V.S Sorority Row

First off, clearly Jennifer's Body is the best written/shot etc. of the two. I saw Jennifer's Body and the opening night of Midnight Madness at TIFF, so the experience was prime. However, Sorority Row had the entertainment value of a "bad film", so instead of giving you a few psuedo-funny lines about both, i'd suggest at some point SEE both and take into account the following grading system. What am I saying they'll be some lines, let's face it, i can't NOT.

Jennifer's Body
Eye Candy:A-
I'm not a Megan Fox fan looks wise as most, in fact I found Amanda Seyfried quite cute in it. The grade would have been lower if it wasn't for the fact they make out.
Gore Factor: A
Pretty awesome, though a little cheesy at times.
Witty Lines: A
Diablo Cody wrote it, enough said
Special Add-Ons: Midnight Madness experience with the whole cast, directors and Diablo Cody in attendance.
Overall: A
Tightly written and darkly funny, Jennifer's Body put women in the Horror genre in a smart an interesting way. The Heathers references were ablaze which would probably only irk hardcore Heather fans, but Cody is obviously very schooled in the genre.

Sorority Row
Eye Candy: A
Briana Evigan turns out to be quite the babe by the end.
Gore Factor: C+
Unnecessary stuff, not fun, already overdone .
Witty Lines: B+
Sorority Row is ostensibly a pretty poorly written film, but in the best way. Actually, the Jessica character says pretty tasteless things throughout the film. It was thoroughly entertaining.
Special Add-On: We snuck in some Rum for our coke. It's a group movie thing.
Overall: B-
Okay, it's not the best film, or a good one at all, but its so much FUN to see, and I swear it wasn't just the alcohol. Did i mention Briana Evigan is a babe in it?
