Jane Fonda went down memory lane on The Drew Barrymore Show remembering films from her acting career. When an image of the 2005 rom-com Monster-in-Law came up, Fonda recalled the infamous slap scene opposite Jennifer Lopez that left her with an injury.
“The thing that comes to mind right away is we have a slapping scene – I slap her, she slaps me…,” Fonda recalled. “Well Jennifer, as per Jennifer, she had this enormous diamond ring and so when she slapped me one of the times it cut open across my eye – my eyebrow.”
Fonda continued, “And she’s never apologized.”
Monster-in-Law was directed by Robert Luketic and written by Anya Kochoff about aspiring fashion designer Charlie (Lopez) who has to face her mother-in-law played by Fonda who will do anything to ruin her relationship with her son. The film marked Fonda’s return to the movies after a 15-year absence since...

Paranormal Activity 4 is in the midst of a strong opening weekend, where it’s on track to earn around $33.5 million. Though that’s less than the $52.6 million the horror franchise’s third installment opened to a year ago, the $5 million-budgeted film should easily win the weekend box office. Co-directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, and screenwriter Christopher Landon return to the Paramount Pictures series to introduce a new family, made up of teenage daughter Alex (Kathryn Newton), six-year-old son Wyatt (Aiden Lovekamp) and their parents (Alexondra Lee and the late Stephen Dunham).

All the activity has led to this – the fourth instalment in the Paranormal Activity series that began with the little indie that could, which transformed into a multi-million dollar franchise.
Paranormal Activity 4 acts as a sequel to Paranormal Activity 2, taking place 5 years later in November, 2011 and sees teenager Alex (Kathryn Newton) start to experience some strange stuff after the arrival of Robbie (Brady Allen), who has just moved in across the street from her – so what’s this all mean for Alex and her family? What is the activity building to? And where in the world are Katie and Hunter?
I love what these films can be, which is haunted house flicks that are terrific fun and akin to something like going on a roller coaster, with the audience strapping themselves in and going along for the ride and all its turns, twists and surprises.
