Deja Vu Anyone?


Jennifer Aniston has been on a role lately since resuming her acting career with last year's hit, Marley & Me. Reports have come out that the former Friends star has signed on for a new film -- the only problem is that it kind of sounds familiar.

The Baster is about a woman who goes to a fertility clinic to get pregnant, but her best friend -- played by Jason Bateman -- exchanges the samples and impregnates her.
Now this doesn't a direct copy, but isn't it reminiscent of her early romantic comedy misfire The Object of My Affection? Maybe now that she has a few $100 million dollar moneymakers she is trying to correct the wrongs she has done...

which leaves me with just one question. Where's the new version of Leprechaun???

He's Just Not That Into You...the long and short of it

The short of it: He's Just Not That Into You starts out with a few chuckles but veers into Robert Altman terrority with too many characters and their intersecting lives. Most of them end up being unsympathetic, pretty people with dating problems. Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck fare the best of the group, while Drew Barrymore is unnecessarily filling time in the 129 minute film.
