At last Sunday’s High School Musical 3 press junket, Kenny Ortega had some thrilling news.

When asked about a Footloose update with Zac Efron is Kevin Bacon’s dancing shoes and Kenny in the director’s chair, Ortega said there’s “a real good chance” the adaptation will soon be underway.

That would be so amazing! Bacon gave Efron his seal of approval to reprise the role of Ren McCormack (which our other crush, Dancing with the Stars’ Derek Hough originated in the stage production, which the film is reported to be based on, in London’s West End).

“I met Zac briefly at an event” Bacon said. “He seemed like a really nice kid and I really do wish him all the best with it.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
