Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer back together?

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:48:00 +0000

John Mayer always seems like such a dope in interviews, and I can’t understand what Jennifer Aniston would see in him. But hey, you never know what people are like behind the cameras. The ex-couple have been spotted together around New York lately. Could they be back together? My inner voice is telling Jen to run, Jen, run!

You can catch Aniston right now in “Love Happens” with Aaron Eckhart (the two have zero chemistry onscreen – seriously, she’d have better chemistry with John Mayer).

Jennifer Aniston’s Management now on DVD, Blu-ray

Jane Boursaw — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 03:56:20 +0000

Somehow, I totally missed “Management” when it was in theaters. But it hit DVD and Blu-ray last week, so maybe some nice publicist will send me a copy to review.

I’m kind of hoping it’s better than Jennifer Aniston’s other movies lately. “Love Happens” and “He’s Just Not That Into You” were ok, but nothing to write home about.

In “Management,” she plays Sue Claussen, a women who has a chance meeting with Mike Cranshaw (Steve Zahn) when she checks into the roadside motel owned by his parents in Arizona. Mike’s an aimless dreamer; Sue lives in a carefully ordered world where she just wants to make a difference. Will she find it with her yogurt mogul ex-boyfriend Jango (Woody Harrelson)? Or with the bumbling Mike?

Buy “Management” on DVD or Blu-ray.

Jennifer Aniston on the set of The Bounty

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 00:10:24 +0000

Jennifer Aniston has been busy filming her upcoming movie, “The Bounty” (a.k.a. “Bounty Hunter”). The story follows a bounty hunter (Gerard Butler) who learns that his next target is his ex-wife (Aniston).

I hope this movie goes beyond just the typical romantic comedy with a twist thing. I liked Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl in “The Ugly Truth,” but I wouldn’t say it was anything too remarkable. Just a nice story with two nice-looking people. The same can be said of Butler and Aniston. Here are a couple images of her on “The Bounty” set.

Gerard Butler: Aniston is one classy lady

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:18:57 +0000

No, Gerard Butler is NOT dating Jennifer Aniston! The actor sets the record straight on his co-star in "Bounty Hunter," a comedy about a bounty hunter who learns that his next target is his ex-wife! No release date yet, but it’ll be a while, since they just started filming in June.

Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper dating again!

Jane Boursaw — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 03:45:00 +0000

I’ve seen Bradley Cooper in a number of projects, including “He’s Just Not That Into You,” but I really fell in love with him in “The Hangover.” It’s a smart, funny movie about guys on a bender in Vegas. It’s a lot smarter than it sounds!

Apparently, Jennifer Aniston is feeling the vibe, too, because CelebTV.com is reporting that they’re dating again. The two were spotted on a romantic dinner date at Il Cantinori in New York City. May I just say that these two would make beautiful babies? Thank you.

Jennifer Aniston attends Management screening in NYC

Jane Boursaw — Wed, 06 May 2009 04:11:19 +0000

Jennifer Aniston attended the screening of her new film “Management,” in which she plays an art saleswoman who tries to ditch a motel manager who won’t leave her alone.

Directed by Stephen Belber, the film is rated R for language. It opens in limited release on May 15, 2009, and also stars Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson, two of my favorite actors.

The screening took place at the Landmark Sunshine Theater in New York City.

And may I just say that I do yoga, and my body looks nothing like Jennifer Aniston’s…? Ok, thanks.

After the jump, more pictures and a “Management” trailer…

Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman rehearse The Baster

Jane Boursaw — Fri, 01 May 2009 05:19:23 +0000

Yes, it’s a movie about a turkey baster. Specifically, a turkey baster which Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) turns to in order to get pregnant. She’s unmarried and 40-something, and running out of time.

But seven years later, it all goes either oh-so-wrong or oh-so-right when it turns out that her best friend Wally (Jason Bateman) replaced the sperm sample with his own!

Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck (co-directors on “Blades of Glory”), on a screenplay by Allan Loeb (”21″), “The Baster” is set for a 2010 release date. Here’s a photo with the two leads rehearsing on the movie set. I really like these two in lighter, romantic comedies, so I’m looking forward to it.

New on DVD March 31, 2009 – Marley & Me, Seven Pounds, Slumdog Millionaire

Jane Boursaw — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:11:53 +0000

That crazy little pup known as Marley hit DVD this week. It’s a great movie, but I thought it was too intense for a PG rating and should have been rated PG-13. Do you agree with me?

New on DVD this week:

Marley and Me (single-disc and 2-Disc Bad Boy Edition). Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston star in this real-life story about a couple and their unruly dog. [Film Gecko Review] [Trailer] [Official Site] [Buy Single-Disc] [Buy 2-Disc]

Seven Pounds. Will Smith stars in this mysterious movie about a guy who grants strangers wishes in order to atone for a past mistake. But when he falls in love with a woman with heart problems (Rosario Dawson), his plan starts to unravel. [Trailer] [Official Site] [Buy It]

Slumdog Millionaire. Danny Boyle directed this touching story about an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai who’s competing on India’s "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" Amazon is running a note that some of the DVDs are missing the special features. So if yours doesn’t include special features, call their hotline at (888) 223-4FOX to receive a replacement DVD.

Jen Aniston as a Bond Girl? It’s hard to picture!

Jane Boursaw — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:00:00 +0000

Jennifer Aniston says she wants to be a Bond Girl (yeah, don’t we all?), but I’m having a really hard time picturing her in the role.

I mean, Jennifer Aniston is all about the romantic comedies and funny, quirky characters. Not action girls. And definitely not as a romantic interest for James Bond. Especially not the brooding Daniel Craig!

But … she says she’s in for a change. “’I get offered funny, quirky, pretty roles," she told Elle U.K. "I’d love to do an action movie. James Bond! Glamour! Daniel Craig! S—–loads of fun!"

And … she does have the hot bod going for her, too. Not that it isn’t work. “I’m a realist," she says. “I know that if I eat nothing but burgers and chips, I’m not going to be hired for the parts I normally would. That might be fine one day, but not right now." Ok, if you want to be a Bond girl, I say go for it!
