The Film Experience

by Murtada Elfadl

Hustlers opens today, so let's celebrate Jennifer Lopez. She's getting the best reviews of her career - including a rave from Chris right here. There's Oscar buzz. The movie is poised to become a substantial hit this weekend.

Answer these 3 questions for fun:

What is the first thing you think of when you think of Jennifer Lopez?

Is it that green dress that has its own wikipedia page? That infamous interview from the late 90s? She's a big big star who's been involved in many memorable cultural moments. Tell us what comes to mind...

What's your favorite Jennifer Lopez performance?

Mine has always been Out of Sight (1998), and I think the Oscar buzz is 21 years too late but I'm happy it's finally here. I've been asking friends this question all week, and I got Selena (1997) as an answer as much as Out of Sight. Any others?

Who do you think matched Jennifer Lopez well on screen?

George Clooney, Jane Fonda? She has worked with many A-listers including Jack Nicholson, Viola Davis, Sean Penn, Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Ralph Fiennes and many others.

Whether or not the nomination happens, the months from now until nomiations are going to be fun if the press tour for Hustlers is any indication. We will leave you with Lopez's genuine reaction to her Oscar buzz:
