How do you get people interested in an action movie with a boring title like Parker? With a Jennifer Lopez shower scene of course! Check out the details on the steamy trailer, along with the latest trailer from Lincoln, and the Nicole Kidman's latest poster from The Paperboy below.

Who Wants to See J.Lo in the Shower?
Balding badass Jason Stathamperforms many feats in the first trailer for Parker, due out January 25. He dies, comes back to life, dresses like a cowboy, fails impressively at a Texas accent, and smashes a guy's face with a . But most importantly, for roughly three frames, he makes out withJennifer Lopez in the shower, which all by itself elevates this to a plane of interestingness far above the Transporter and (especially) the Crank franchises. Look for the relevant frames at about 2:29 in the trailer below.

Media companies recognized the importance of Hispanics in this election, and across the board noted the importance of Latinos in sending Barack Obama back to the White House.

And while so-called "Latino issues" such as  have rarely played such a prominent role in the political discourse, both the Obama and Romney teams were well aware of the potential of Latinos to impact the election outcome and they spent significant amounts of time and money courting Latino voters.

Here's how the Latino vote played out in the news:

Huffington Post

The Huffington Post splashed "¡Viva Obama!" across its homepage to announce the president's reelection, and noted that Republicans will have to adapt their policies to succeed among today's increasingly diverse electorate.

"The country is becoming more diverse in general, with a growing Latino population and an even faster-growing Asian population," wrote the Huffington Post's Elise Foley. "Those demographic changes will spell trouble for the Republican Party if it remains on in its current trajectory, among Latino voters in particular."

The New York Times

The Times pointed out immigration as one area where Republicans need to make changes if they hope to attract more Latino voters.

"Some analysts and Republican strategists argued that the party could notwin while alienating the growing Hispanic vote with its tough stance on immigration," Michael Cooper noted in the New York Times, "could no longer afford to nominate candidates who fired up its conservative and Tea Party wings but turned off the more moderate voters in general elections, and that it had to find ways to win more support from women and young voters. But some conservatives took the opposite view, arguing that Mitt Romney had been essentially too moderate, a candidate who had won the minds if not hearts of the party's base."

The Washington Post

The Post pointed out specific states where Latinos played a pivotal role, such as Maryland, where Latino voters backed the state's DREAM Act.

The Washington Post noted in a November 6 roundup that "Latino voters have long been considered a key demographic in the 2012 Presidential Election," and pointed to specific places, such as Nevada, where Latino turnout was exceptionally high, and Maryland, where Latinos overwhelmingly supported the state's DREAM Act, which will allow undocumented immigrants in the state to pay in-state .

Politico

Maggie Haberman noted in Politico that the Romney team's assumption that they could coast to victory among Latinos on their economic message turned out to be wrong.

"Romney's camp assumed that the economy would be a winning message on its own, and that Latino voters would be so disappointed with the president over a failed promise of immigration reform that the Republican wouldn't need to cut into Obama's margins with them," Haberman wrote. "That was not a safe assumption. If Obama wins Florida, black and Hispanic voters will be the reason why."

NBC News

post on NBC News put it more bluntly than Politico.

"But make no mistake: What happened last night was a demographic time bomb that had been ticking and that blew up in GOP faces…So the Republicans are maximizing their share with white voters; they just aren't getting the rest," reads a post by Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro and Brooke Brower on the site's First Read page.

Slate

The title of David Weigel's Slate piece, "Senate Republicans Admit It: We Pissed Off Minorities and Lost," also nailed the issue.

"Mitt Romney lost millions of votes because he alienated Hispanics," Weigel wrote. "Those losses trickled down to bystanders like George Allen and Heather Wilson and Connie Mack. But Romney did the groundwork."

Talking Points Memo

TPM was more blunt still.

"Don't F' with Hispanic Voters," was the sum total of one post by editor and publisher Josh Marshall.

New Haven's Own's Kelli Jones presented the signing of her first book titiled:

"Pulling Down Strong Holds" on Saturday, June 18, 2011 at Outreach Property Management.

What an inspiration, for our collective and individual journey's of self expression, mental liberation, exercising of our intuitive muscle and just plain old , good times, for all time faith was on display. 

Congrats Kelli and onward and upward....

To what extremes will some women go to in order to overpower a man's vows and pull down his strong family bond? One man is about to find out that messing with the wrong one can cost him everything!

Former baller, Michael Christian's deliberate and notorious lies catch up to him in the worst way, and because of his celebrity status, his private infidelities become a public point of destruction to his entire family, including his devoted wife, Simone, his innocent daughter, Heidi, and his troubled son, Hunter who is left to only dream of what family unity must be like.



Simone is a patient, praying woman, but when the reality of her husbands's constant indiscretions combined with the gruesome discovery that her best friend, Rachael, has committed the ultimate no-no, Simone's faith is tested to its breaking point.

Secrets, witchcraft, lust, deception, and the total disrespect for God and the sanctity of marriage make the perfect recipe for disaster, divorce...and death!
