Quick, what do you think of Lindsay Lohan?
Georgia Rule - Jane Fonda and Lindsay Lohan
This movie is Lindsay Lohan's finest hour on screen, though I Know Who Killed Me is another major surprise that may take a couple years for people to catch up with. From the opening shot, storming down a country road screaming at her mom, she burns with charisma that is close to a female James Dean. She is one of the most contradictory actors I've ever seen; brazen, even demonic, but covering immense pain, waiting for a chance to show vulnerability, and mistrusting everybody. She also comes off, at least in her movies, as quick-witted, cultured, and immune to B.S.
What makes Lohan work so well on screen is she pushes the limit of awful behavior to the maximum while still being able to come off as fundamentally decent, with a good soul buried underneath so many layers of grime that it would take a miracle to dig it out. There's something about her that makes any sort of evil or malice she commits seem like it's not really her, but an alternate personality. Whether this happens to be true, or just a convenient excuse for getting what she wants, is the question mark that hangs over Lohan and makes her interesting. Some might say, are you talking about the actress or the characters she plays? Well, Lindsay Lohan plays Lindsay Lohan. But that is the highest form of acting. Point a camera at most people and they will become unreal, fake, imitating what they've seen in other movies or T.V.; point a camera at Lohan and she is an original.
The movie is very respectful of its audience and doesn't spell things out. There are moments, on first viewing, where you'll be confused as to what's really happening, who is lying and whose reality we're even witnessing.
We have to make up our own minds about the characters almost like in an Eric Rohmer film, based on their behavior and how trustworthy they seem -- until the masks finally crumble in the final reels. Everyone in this movie is suffering horribly from betrayal and irreparable emotional damage, except for Jane Fonda, who for once has an almost calming presence as the grandma. Lohan's behavior is both disturbing and totally understandable in this fractured, twisted world. Yet the movie is filled with humor that borders on the sublime, because it reveals character. It's funny even when it's appalling, such as when Lohan's crush has to confess a sin committed with Lohan to his clean-cut girlfriend, who is so pristine that she can't even imagine anything beyond the 6th grade: "Did you kiss?" There is another scene where Lohan tries to run people over in a huge truck, art mirroring life once again, as it always will for this girl.
I still find it hard to believe that Garry Marshall directed this; his sole contribution seems to have been to change the character of Lohan's boyfriend from a Christian, which he must have been in the script, to a Mormon, because otherwise this makes no sense -- Mormons in Idaho? The fact that a local says he "lifts like a Basque" also suggests the original script had a huge Christian influence. But the Christian-ness that Hollywood as usual tries to smother or ignore still comes through in the story's unflinching presentation of big sin, and even bigger redemption. And hopefully redemption also lies at the end of the tale of Georgia Rule's fantastic, troubled star. -- AllOverWith "cannes2000" (L.A.)

Georgia Rule (Widescreen Edition)
Thanks to Garry Marshall's wonderful and sensitive direction, I can say I loved this comedy which is actually a drama. This film had terrible marketing, the trailer made me believe this was a comedy but this film is not, Georgia Rule deals with serious and adult subject matter, I won't give it away but I highly recommend this movie 100%. It seems like every Garry Marshall film is absolutely engaging and heartwarming like Beaches, Raising Helen, Pretty Woman, and The Other Sister. Marshall is probably my second favorite director behind James Mangold (Walk the Line, Identity, Girl, Interrupted.) One of the things that surprised me is Lindsay Lohan's perfomance, she blew me away and in her previous films, I felt her acting was wooden and lacked originality but as the rebellious and hard to love Rachel, she nails it and you feel her pain and frustration towards everyone she encounters. Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda are excellent as always. Every performance is top-notch including Dermont Mulroney who is way too under-rated even to this day. So with that being said, Georgia Rule was the one film I felt that deserved so much more appreciation. Buy or rent it, I am glad I gave this sleeper a chance. -- ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)

I Know Who Killed Me - Lindsay Lohan
Soon to be released on DVD!
This film has all the earmarks of a low-budget shockfest: pointless nudity, slashing violence, and dialogue that is so corny it's laughable. The script is so convoluted and wacky that when I wasn't covering my eyes from the gore, I was rolling them at the dumb things the characters did and said (the crew from Mystery Science Theatre 3000 would have had a field day with this flick).
I'm sure none of the actors will want to put this film on their resumes. Lohan doesn't put much effort into her acting but does wear an excessive amount of eye make-up and Julia Ormond is wasted as her long-suffering mother. The worst part of it is that the villain's motive is never explained (don't blink or you'll miss the perp altogether). "I Know..." has sickeningly graphic torture, the dullest pole-dance ever filmed, and a ludicrous plot. For strong stomachs only. -- Kona (Emerald City)

Bobby - Demi Moore, Anthony Hopkins and Lindsay Lohan
Estevez steadily ratchets up the sense of tension and dread. Knowing exactly what's coming, while the characters onscreen don't, is excruciating, as is our grief at hearing RFK's own words, so eloquent, so hopeful and inspiring, as we watch the horrible events unfold and wonder what might have been (sure it's manipulative--but it works).
But the rest of Bobby isn't nearly as compelling. Nor is it really about Kennedy, despite its obvious adulation of the man whom many thought would defeat Richard Nixon in the '68 general election. In the tradition of, say, an Irwin Allen disaster flick, we're invited into the lives of nearly two dozen folks, most of them at least partly fictional, who were at the Ambassador Hotel that June day, including guests, staff (kitchen workers, switchboard operators, management, etc.), campaign workers, reporters, and more. There are lots of movie stars in the cast, and some of them (Sharon Stone, Helen Hunt, William H. Macy) are very good.
But caring about the quotidian minutiae of these people's existences is a chore, and Estevez crams so many issues into his story (the Vietnam war, drugs, alcoholism, voting irregularities, adultery, racism, immigration, communism - even L.A. Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale's streak of consecutive shutouts) and tries so obviously to establish parallels between then and now that too much of the movie feels gratuitous and forced. A warts-and-all film about Robert Kennedy's extraordinary life and career would be welcome. Unfortunately, Bobby isn't it. --Sam Graham
Product Description
(Drama) A re-telling of the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968. The film follows 22 individuals who are all at the hotel for different purposes but share the common thread of anticipating Kennedy's arrival at the primary election night party, which would change their lives forever. This historic night is set against the backdrop of the cultural issues gripping the country at the time, including racism, sexual inequality and class differences.

Bobby (Widescreen Edtion)
Robert F. Kennedy was adored by the masses when he won the primary for the Democratic party, on his way to becoming the president. Then, like his presidential brother, he was gunned down in public. (That was WAY before I was born, so much of what I know comes from books)
Emilio Estevez doesn't exactly focus on that in "Bobby." Instead, he creates an elaborate "Grand Hotel"-style plot, focusing on the people who surrounded Kennedy on the last day of his life. The movie is a little scattered throughout the first parts, but Estevez yanks it together in time for the inevitable, tragic denouement.
The entire movie takes place on one day: June 4, 1968. The place: Los Angeles' Ambassador Hotel. And there's as much drama out of the campaign as in it: For example, the manager (William H. Macy) is cheating on his smart beautician wife (Sharon Stone) with the switchboard girl (Heather Graham), but takes some time out to fire a racist supervisor (Christian Slater) because the guy won't let the black and Latin employees vote.
The doorman (Anthony Hopkins) and his pal (Harry Belafonte) play chess and talk. A lounge singer (Demi Moore) is struggling with alcoholism, a young girl (Lindsay Lohan) is marrying a guy she doesn't love (Elijah Wood) to keep him from going to Vietnam, and campaign workers drop acid. Their stories are only loosely intwertwined -- until Sirhan Sirhan arrives.
Estevez has created a movie that Tries To Have It All. It tackles racism, war, love, voting, women's rights, and the adored icons of an era. It also stars just about every kind of actor: veterans, Bratpackers, ex-sexpots, MTV stars, party girls and accomplished young actors.
In fact, "Bobby" spills over with plot and characters, and for the first two thirds, it seems that there is almost too much of EVERYTHING. But Estevez captures the you-are-there ambience, with crisp suits and longer dresses, neat hair, period music and the occasional baseball reference. For a day, you ARE in Los Angeles in 1968.
And he has a knack for creating a sense of foreboding and sadness, which hangs independently of the characters. Yet in some scenes where Kennedy is supposed to be speaking, the shining eagerness that you see in the audience's faces is enough to bowl you over. It captures the hope that was present during that era, and afterwards died quickly, as hope usually does.
The enormous cast makes it hard to single out one, but there are several good ones: Laurence Fishborne and Freddy Rodriguez as cooks who discuss the racism they struggle with, Macy as the manager who struggles to regain his lost youth by an affair, Stone as his faded beauty of a wife, and Wood's bittersweet, ironic portrayal of the young groom.
Kennedy himself is a nebulous figure -- most of what we see are archival clips, which show the young candidate's charisma and power. Although "Bobby's" take on him is rather naive, it does leave you wondering how he might have changed the US, had he lived.
"Bobby" is high on ambition, and Estevez manages to create a truly poignant, thought-provoking film. It has its flaws, but it also captures a shocking moment in American history. -- E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA)
