Ugh! Why is Hollywood continuously trying to kill my childhood? One of the most perfect comedies, Overboard, which is like crack when you tune into on a Saturday afternoon, is in the works to be remade!!! And with Jennifer Lopez in the starring role!
In the original, Goldie Hawn flawlessly plays socialite Joanna Stayton, who falls overboard from her yacht outside a Podunk town, develops amnesia and is left at a hillbilly hospital by her husband Grant. Dean Proctor (Kurt Russell) a local contractor originally hired to revamp Stayton’s closet on the yacht and who is not compensated for his work, sees Joanna on the TV and decides to seek revenge on the rich chick and convince her she is wife and mother of his four unruly kids. Hilarity ensues, everyone learns a lesson, Dean builds a mini-golf course and an adorable kid goes “Bah bah bah bah”. More on NO! NO! NO! J.Lo Goes ‘Overboard’ after the JUMP

Sometimes being a fan really pays off, like in the case of Kevin Smith. Rumors were confirmed today when it was announced that Smith will be directing Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in a buddy cop comedy “A Couple of Cops”. In fact, Smith himself twittered last night about how nervous he was. [...]
My prediction that “Whatever Works” would premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival was quite accurate. It was announced today that Woody Allen’s latest film would premiere at the TFF’s opening night on April 22nd. It’s quite fitting that Allen’s return to New York on screen would be the same year he premiered a [...]
