Jennifer Lopez who seems to think it is the year 2000 all over again, is back making music and movies. In her latest film The Boy Next Door, very reminiscent of Beyoncé’s Obsessed, Lopez leads the cast in this psychological thriller that explores a forbidden attraction that goes much too far. Directed by Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) and written by Barbara Curry, the film also stars Ryan Guzman, John Corbett and Kristin Chenoweth. Release will be January 23, 2015. Read More
