And just think, before this widely panned killer movie, she sat around with some heavyweight film stars, exchanging glances while waiting for the director to call them to set during the filming of Bobby. I did not see Bobby at the theatres, it left too quickly. But I did buy the DVD. I appreciated it, for the most part. That’s obvious to those who read me, because I love everything about RFK and his brother JFK. So, I wanted to add this to my growing film library. It has some parts that are worth the price, such as the documentary footage, and hearing the real RFK speak at the end is also lovely.
However, in between the opening and the ending stands Lindsay Lohan. She acts just fine, and does not make a spectacle of herself in the film, but she still ruined it for me. Beauty and booty can’t make me like someone. In light of her recent fall in fame among fans, this film just might end up being the last best thing she does in her acting career. Stranger things have happened.
When I heard how her career may be on the skids I had a dark thought: How come it (her fall) didn’t come before they made Bobby? Then she wouldn’t be in it. I can’t explain why I don’t like her. I like Paris Hilton, even though she’s, well, Paris. So, I am not anti-airhead heiress, but Lohan just rings all my angst bells every time I see her face. Maybe, in real life, she will wake up as somebody else, and rewind and restart her life all over again. Life does imitate art and if Lindsay is throwing her life away — then somebody ought to catch it; because if it were not so sad it would be funny.

Wow, the girl has made one or two lousy movies and her career is over? For every hit Jodie Foster, Charlize Theron, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close or name any other fine actor or actress has had, they have also been in some huge flops. I don't think I've ever heard of someone's movie getting so hacked with an axe and the actress in the film getting hacked along with it as badly as Lindsay Lohan has gotten for this film. Does the girl have problems that need to be dealt with? Definetly. Is she a very good actress. Absolutely. Two falls off the wagon doesn't mean she's done for (until she kills someone of course). Give her another chance...to grow up.

It's not that she was in two huge flops. But one might question her judgement about even signing on for the "Killed" movie. That's the point.
Now, she sees herself as "Marilyn" too. She's not very original.
