Other Crap

Antonio Banderas has joined Jennifer Lopez in the indie thriller BORDERTOWN. Oh, I know that cast seems like a red flag, but the film might actually be good. Maybe. The director is Gregory Nava, who is the best director nobody ever heard of. El Norte and Mi Familia are excellent movies, but Nava sort of pigeonholed himself as a specialist in Latino movies, and he hasn't made a movie in many years. Nava completed the last turn-off on the road to obscurity when his last movie wasn't much good in a city where you're only as good as your last movie.
