In the movie Bordertown, Jennifer Lopez is cast as the intrepid reporter covering the infamous killings of women in Juarez.

“It wants to be a thriller, a piece of investigative journalism, a political soapbox and a vehicle for Jennifer Lopez,” intrepid reviewer Kirk Honeycutt writes for Hollywood Reporter.

Sounds like the newsroom at The El Paso Times.

Naturally, Amnesty International has pinned a Valentine rose on Lopez for her participation in this bomb. Seems you can do good, bad and ugly and AI will weigh in with its awesome, college-age denizens possessed of talent and dedication (until they graduate and spend their money on mortgages and diapers)

Artists for Amnesty, indeed. Amnesty from what — careers drooping faster than an aging singer’s famous curvy butt?

Don’t watch this film for any exploration of the Juarez killings.

Watch this one instead.

Bonus points: the apperance of Antonio Banderas, who never heard about a dumb movie about Mexico he wouldn’t cast for.
