Review of “El Cantante” by jennifer lopez
“El Cantante” is the latest film from Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony. The film is about Salsa music legend Hector Lavoe, who was a real life person in the 70s. The film stars Marc Anthony as Lavoe and Jennifer Lopez as his sidekick Puchi. Both are Oscar nominees.
While the film’s musical numbers make it entertaining, it is mostly a by-the-book biopic. Overall, I give it a 4/10. If you are a fan of Jennifer Lopez and are looking for a fun, musical film, check out “El Cantante.”
While the film is not a perfect film, it does introduce an amazing talent to the world. Jennifer Lopez brings a real zest to her performance and the film also pays homage to Hector’s tragic past. If you love salsa music, you’ll want to watch this film.
Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, and Marc Anthony star in “El Cantante.” Marc Anthony is a star in the movie, and he spends over 50 percent of the movie singing! Hector Lavoe, a chart-topping Mexican musician, helps popularize the salsa genre. This type of music is a combination of mambo, conga, jazz, and merengue, and is made up of many popular Latin dances.
Review of “Second Act” by jennifer lopez
“Second Act” is a delightful connect-the-dots comedy. Jennifer Lopez gives her best performance in quite some time. She oozes experience and brings curlicues of humor into every scene. The film is a must-see for Lopez fans.
Lopez is one of the hardest working people in show business. Her career spans from singing to acting. She has made movies about her work, but this is her first non-animated feature in three years. And while her talents are undeniable, the script does not match her talent. As a result, “Second Act” feels more like a movie about her than it does about its audience.
The film has many of the elements of a rom-com: romantic entanglements, hilarious sidekicks, and dancing sequences. The movie stars Jennifer Lopez as Maya Vargas, a young New York native who is passed over for a high-powered position in a supermarket chain. She embraces her street-savvy ways to win over the CEO. As a result, she wins over the CEO.
Review of “Marry Me” by jennifer lopez
“Marry Me” is a mixed bag of a movie. It is part rom-com, part concert film, and has long stretches devoted to Jennifer Lopez’s in-character performances. While full-length performances of her songs are more impressive than mere clips, the musical numbers often stall the plot.
The film’s central premise is to show how a celebrity rekindles her past love life, but instead of that, the movie takes a more self-conscious approach to it. In other words, it is a self-conscious rebirth of a genre that’s been dormant for several years. But in the process, it delivers a doozy of a plot device. Jennifer Lopez plays a pop star named Kat Valdez, whose whims lead to her falling for a famous math teacher (played by Owen Wilson).
As Kat, the character is played by Jennifer Lopez with a delicacy and vulnerability that is quite refreshing. The film’s title character is an eerie echo of Lopez herself, and she seems to be a believable reflection of Lopez’s ethereal stardom. But the film is also overrun with songs and dance numbers, which can be distracting if you’re looking to enjoy a romantic film.
Review of “Hustlers” by jennifer lopez
A true crime drama with a sexy twist, “Hustlers” stars Jennifer Lopez in her career-high performance. The movie is based on the true story of a gang of strippers who turn the tables on lecherous Wall Street businessmen. The film is equal parts sultry and funny, but it also has moments of heartbreak and tragedy. It’s refreshing to see a film about the sexual industry that shows the struggles of its female characters. The director, Lorene Scafaria, never loses sight of the struggles that led these women to wear G-strings and other sexually sexy lingerie. They were also women who had families and put food on the table. Ultimately, greed and lust led to their downfall.
Hustlers is loosely based on Jessica Pressler’s New York magazine article. Julia Stiles stars as Pressler. The story follows a group of strippers and the women who run them. Constance Wu plays “Destiny” – a shy, new stripper. She’s a native of Queens, and the granddaughter of an immigrant. The film shows her struggle to make ends meet, but she also realizes that her talents are untapped.
