Lindsay Lohan's Resurection, Part II

Our favorite train wreck has landed another movie role. ...

Robert Rodriguez, director of Sin City, has found it in the kindness of his heart to cast Lindsay Lohan in his new film. He made this decision despite Lindsay's consistent box office failures, out-of-control partying, rehab stints, and tales of irresponsible and rude behavior on set. This is now her second film job, after she was cast in the lead role in an indie film entitled The Other Side with, er, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette.

The Rodriquez film is called Machete and is about an assassin who finds out that he is the real target of his employers, and proceeds to take his revenge on them. The cast includes Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, and Michelle Rodriguez. Not bad.

Lindsay's part is not yet confirmed, and the only thing we know is that she dyed her hair blonde for the role (she tweeted about it, naturally). But as long as the movie does well or at least is received well, it won't matter if she has just one line. There's nowhere for her career to go at this point but up.

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!

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.

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.

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!
