Unlike her eyeblink appearance in the god-awful Aftershock, Selena Gomez is at least in half of the new action thriller Getaway starring Ethan Hawke. He, by the way, has already been in two movies this year – Before Midnight (one of this year’s best) and The Purge (a follow-up horror thriller after Sinister from 2012).
After Spring Breakers and Aftershock, Gomez is really trying to break into acting all while maintaining a healthy music career. She’s about to drop a new album called Stars and Dance along with a US tour.
I still can’t get a chance to judge if she can really act. I think she has the potential to be very good, but I really need to see her with better actors around her. Read More

You “La Reina del Sur” telenovela fans are going to love me today! I just got my hands on the exclusive first look character poster of “K-11” with Mexican actress Kate del Castillo!
Jules Stewart, mother to Twilight star Kristen, directs del Castillo in this drama that tells the story of a man’s plight after winding up in K-11, the Los Angeles County Jail’s transgender inmate unit.
Jules Stewart and K-11 producers are being smart about capitalizing on Latino moviegoers by casting the very talented Kate del Castillo. From what I can gather, this looks like Kate’s most challenging role to date where she is showcasing her ability to play very layered characters. Kate is a thespian and in this movie she’s unforgettable! Read More
