ennifer Lopez has made all the right moves - in more ways than one. After starting out as a dancer on the television show In Living Color, her move into feature films was a relatively smooth transition. Her first big break came when she landed the lead role in the bio pic Selena, where she sizzled on screen. Then Steven Soderbergh cast Lopez opposite George Clooney in Out of Sight. The role suited her natural Bronx-girl toughness to a T. Whatever steam she picked up working with Soderbergh and Clooney seemed to increase her confidence. And she's made some interesting choices. In last year's sci-fi film The Cell, that tough/vulnerable quality helped Lopez pull off a good performance in a critically maligned film, holding her own against the two Vinces: - Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio - both strong actors. For her next movie, the romantic-thriller Angel Eyes, Lopez returns to the kind of role that seems to suit her best. She's playing another tough cookie, this time a cop named Sharon |
