Zoom-in Online

It's Friday again and that means there's a whole new crop of movies on which you can dump your money. You've no doubt worked hard this week tilling the fields and weaning your young and you wish to take in a film that won't leave you mourning the loss of funds you could've spent on booze. Choosing what film to see without any information is a bit like a round of "Press Your Luck," except landing on a Whammy won't leave you feeling insulted, robbed of your dignity, or wishing for physical harm to come about on another human being. Bad movies can do that to you. Here at Zoom In Online, we're your friends and we want to prove it by providing you with as much information as we can before you attempt to wade through a potential cinematic mine field. Consider us your cinematic D.A.R.E., except funnier and without all the poor results.

Okay, so by now it's no secret that Paranormal Activity was the surprise horror hit of 2009. The suspense, the subtlety, the painfully drawn-out episodic nature of it all. But while audiences were blissfully soaking in each second of their Paranormal experience, little did they know that a wide-eyed, wily producer was watching them the entire time.

Ever since the L.A.-based duo of Dean Spunt and Randy Randall helped put Los Angeles back on the map as an indie hotbed, they've shown that they aren't afraid to try new things.

Antichrist film review.

Wait, what?  What kind of jerk would I be to put just my name - myself - first and foremost before the product I was about to create?  What would it say about my ego?  While it's true that films by well-known and artistically-lauded directors are often released with declarations of "a film by such and such" or "so and so presents," such credits seem to imply pride, as in, "this director is proud to present to you his or her film," more so than arrogance, as in, "this director is gracing you with his or her film."  Yet by eliminating that simple "a film by" or "presents" credit and presenting just a director's name before his or her film begins - or, indeed, specifically preceding the film's own loaded title - I can't help but pick up on a message, whether intentional or not, about a massive ego behind what I'm about to see.

Jennifer’s Body written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama is exactly what I expected.  It’s a campy, women centric look at the atrocities of being a teenage girl.  For some of us who have been there, the first line of the film “Hell is a teenage girl” seems just right.  Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried play two best friends who have grown apart.  Jennifer (Fox) is the nasty sex pot and Seyfriend plays Anita (Needy) the nerdy girl with the cute boyfriend who has become Jennifer’s lapdog.
