During yesterday’s hearing, Chris Brown, 20, pleaded guilty to felony assault.

He will receive five years probation, 52 weeks in an anti-domestic violence program and 180 days of labor service. He also must get all of his travel plans approved by a probation officer.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg also ordered the singer to stay away from Rihanna.

Rihanna, 21, had not asked for a stay-away order, but the judge issued one. It requires that Brown and Rihanna stay at least 50 yards from each other, except at public events when the distance is reduced to 10 yards.

Good start, but not nearly enough.

He used the dashboard of his car to help bash Rihanna’s face to a bloody pulp, and he gets no jail time?

Where’s the justice in that?!

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!
