The Fountain: Film: D+ Extras: B-

·

Ever sit around and listen to two people discuss the meaning of life over beer and pizza?

Percy directs it all on the headset.

For Lohan, this movie is definitely an improvement from her former movies like Mean Girls and Just My Luck, though nothing compares to the glory days of The Parent Trap. And although I would still rather have seen someone else in Lohan's role, perhaps director Gary Marshall just couldn't think of another actress with such a natural affinity for playing a spoiled brat.

Black Book: A-

·

While it is a bit on the hefty side (145 minutes), "Black Book" is an entertaining flick which captures Verhoeven on his road to directorial recovery and the bright, beautiful van Houten on her way to bigger career opportunities.

Gretchen Wilson: One of the Boys : C

·

Gretchen Wilson -- the self-professed "Redneck Woman" of country music -- gives us nothing but what we've come to expect of her on her newly released third album: songs about Silverados, whiskey, trailer park livin' and cheatin'.
