Latina beauty Jennifer Lopez is turning to her Selena director Gregory Nava to reignite her movie career after a string of flop films. J.Lo leapt to fame in 1997 with her portrayal of tragic Mexican singer Selena Perez in Nava's film, but - despite a critically-acclaimed performance in Out Of Sight in 1998 - the actress has fallen foul of critics with a series of flops, including Gigli, The Wedding Planner and Enough. In Nava's forthcoming movie, Lopez will play an American reporter sent to the Mexican-US border town of Ciudad Juarez to investigate the mysterious killings of dozens of females there - a real life phenomenon. Filming is expected to start in March.
J-Lo in my hometown? (Juarez is El Paso's sister city.) Nah. Probably they'll shoot it all in California.
Oh and by the way...dozens of women? Try hundreds. Okay. 400. Does anyone else think it's absolutely outrageous that 400 women have been murdered in a single city over 10 years and only in the past few years it's gotten national press?
If this had been happening in America, it never would have reached 400. But there's been rumors of police corruption and participation, of cult or drug killings. It's scary. I know a lot of people who don't go to Juarez any more. I sure as hell don't.
Huh. What a rant. Sorry.
