Now, I know what you're thinking?  Sorority Row, really Janine?  Really? 

And honestly, you're right to think that.  Sorority Row is not what you would call a good movie, but thanks to Leah Pipes performance as Jessica it is a pretty entertaining movie. 

I remember when Angelina Jolie was first starting out, the reviews for the movies she was in would always be like "This movie blows, but this Angelina Jolie chick is great."  That's how I feel about Sorority Row.  It's a dumb movie, but Leah Pipes is fucking fantastic, and sexy, and hilariously bitchy.  

The Jessica character reminded me of:  Emma Frost, Mistress Cara and Mistress Denna, Skimmer, Cordelia Chase and Alex Cabot.

That's a lot of awesome right there, you gotta admit!

Also, the movie has some pretty good lines:

Chugs: [looking around her doctor's office after hearing a noise] Where are you?  I don't have time for 'catch-me-rape-me'.

Jessica:  Ellie no one is dead *pause*  Well, Megan.

Jessica:  I'm gonna deal with you later.
Maggie:  You might wanna deal with your hair first.  It looks like shit.

[Discussing what to do with the body of their dead sorority sister]
Jessica: So what is it? One big chunk or bits and pieces?
Ellie: Probably bits and pieces. In Pre-Med, we learned that if there’s air in the lungs and in the chest cavity, the body will float to the surface.
Claire:  She’s right. We can’t have her floating to the top!
Garrett:  Somebody’ll find her.
Chugs:  And that’s game over!
Jessica: How about those implants? Does silicon float?

Jessica: [upon seeing Megan's corpse]  Oh, she looks terrible.

Jessica:  [upon seeing the murder weapon 8 months later] Is that the same one? I mean, it looks different. Like someone pimped it out.

Jessica:  You know what, when you talk like that, people will think you're a bitch... and nobody likes a bitch.

Really, anything with Jessica is pure gold.  Her fake-ass "Oh no.  Don't go out there.  *pause*  What? I tried" (when someone was going to go investigate a weird noise) literally made me LOL.  The delivery is perfect.

TBH, you're not going to be scared.  It fails miserably at being a horror movie or a thriller.  But I was amused throughout, and will most probably write femslash involving Jessica ... cause, well, if you watch it you'll understand.

Enjoy!

I watched this last week and I totally agree, Jessica is the best thing about this movie. I was actually pissed off when she didn't get to be in the final walk away (the too skinny sister should have been toast, instead).

Cassidy and Jessica obviously had unresolved issue, and femslash really is better than therapy to resolve such UST related problems.

Jessica is a golden goddess! She pwned this movie. I never would have watched past the first ten minutes if it wasn't for her, but now I'm legit recommending it to people just because she was so awesome.

I know. I was so happy that she made it so. I almost didn't want to finish watching the movie after she died. Maggie was a bitch too, and she wasn't nearly as fun as Jessica so if one of the bitch's had to live I wish it could have been Jess.

THIS! Jessica's line to Cassidy, "I'm going to take a shower. That is NOT an invitation" cracked me up. The fact that Jessica felt the need to add that it wasn't an invitation to join her seems to indicate that there used to be an open invitation to join her, right? After that line they were secret lovers to me, lol. Plus, they'd just be really, really hot together :D
