We Told Ya So: Lindsay Lohan Is Past Her Prime

Yikes.

It would seem bad enough that Lindsay Lohan's new movie, Labor Pains, went straight to cable TV instead of the originally planned movie theater release. But no, it gets much worse.

The movie, in which Lindsay plays a secretary that fakes a pregnancy to keep her job (huh?), got to a paltry 2.1 million viewers on ABC Family, according to the latest Nielsen rankings. That's about half as many as watched Lohan's 1998 remake of The Parent Trap on Disney Channel the previous week.

Can you say ouch!? 11-year-old Lindsay was obviously much more palatable than the trainwreck we see today.

Come to think of it... don't mind us while we go watch Parent Trap ourselves. Where're the peanut butter and Oreos?

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!
