Jennifer's Body (2009)
A newly possessed high school cheerleader turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates.
A horror film wrapped up in a feminist message works both ways as genre movie and as political statement, but some male audiences might not notice.
Maltin**: "Attempt to layer horror-movie tropes onto a story of female friendship (and the roles young women inhabit) doesn't work. Written by Diablo Cody, but this teenage outsider isn't as easy to embrace as the heroine of JUNO."

Passion Play (2010)
An angel under the thumb of a ruthless gangster is saved by a trumpet player down on his luck.
A silly phantasmagoria with a Noir touch has Rourke and Murray in good form, but you'll need to be in the mood for a slow-paced, brooding fairy tale; the 'twist ending', however, was obvious from the beginning on.
Maltin*1/2: "Jumbled noir-ish fantasy...Murray is game, playing a hood named Happy, but even he can't add much to this barely watchable, instantly forgettable mess. A less than auspicious directorial debut..."
