'Shotgun Wedding' loads up a Jennifer Lopez rom-com that misfires badly
Although we're almost past the point of having the stench of death surround movies when they head directly to streaming, that assessment applies to "Shotgun Wedding," which loads both barrels with Jennifer Lopez, late-replacement Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Coolidge and still fires blanks.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Calls for a Federal Civil Rights Investigation following the Killing of Atatiana Jefferson in her Home
Jackson Lee—“I call on the United States Department of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation of Atatiana Jefferson’s killing to determine how and to what extent Atatiana’s civil rights were violated. While the shooter has resigned from his position as an officer of the Fort Worth Police Department and he has been charged with murder, the shameful and sad reality is that none of this will bring back Atatiana to her loving family. For Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson and countless innocent others whose lives were taken too soon and wrongly, law enforcement must develop and vigorously implement methods to limit the loss of life of innocent individuals. My heartfelt sympathies are with Atatiana’s family at this time. I know that if we could bring back Atatiana, we would. But we cannot. We can only hope her death was not in vain. Until that day and beyond, may she rest in peace.”

The Lazarus Effect Official Trailer
The Lazarus Effect revolves around a team of medical students who devise a way to bring dogs, and eventually humans, back to life. But rather than patting themselves on the back and immediately declaring to the world that each and everyone one of them is in fact God reincarnated, they soon discover that the people and pets that they are resurrecting are pretty evil once they are walking, talking and eating again. Olivia Wilde plays The Lazarus Effect’s lead character, Zoe, who after being electrocuted is brought back to life by her beau, Frank (Mark Duplass). However, it becomes clear that Zoe’s experience has altered her drastically, and the evil force that now permeates through her body soon starts to wreak havoc on those closest to her. In addition to the new trailer, the first poster for The Lazarus Effect has also been released online, and it proves that Olivia Wilde is going to be looking far from glamorous throughout the film.
