Spring Break
Aisleside View: "I Know Who Killed Me"

Issue date: 7/30/07 Section: Aggielife
Considering all of the negative press that Lindsay Lohan has been receiving lately, it is only appropriate that her new movie, "I Know Who Killed Me," is an absolute flop.
The film's plot is so incredibly lame that it is a struggle to stay awake through the entire hour and 45 minutes. It's a shame, really, because the concept had great potential, but the combination of psychedelic filming techniques, Lohan's poor acting performance, and a ridiculous ending killed whatever flame the movie may have had.
Lohan's sub par acting is not surprising due to the unfortunate addictions that she's recently developed. Also not surprisingly, the deteriorating actress literally looked (or was) either drunk or stoned, or both, for the entire movie.
It is strange to see Lohan playing roles that are so much more mature than before. For those of you who still think of her as the cute, innocent twins on "The Parent Trap," or the bratty teen from "Mean Girls," you'll be quite shocked by her role in "I Know Who Killed Me." The worst part of this film is that Lohan spends a good portion of the movie wearing next to nothing, as she plays an exotic dancer. Little Lindsay Lohan is officially all grown up and pole dancing, and it's a shame.
Viewers will leave the theater with a what-the-heck-just-happened feeling, and not in a good way.
Trailers for the movie boast a shocking twist that viewers will not see coming, but this promise is yet another disappointment. The twist - not at all as unexpected as the endings of "Sixth Sense" or "Frailty" - is quite easy to see coming as long as you are paying attention. However, paying attention is a lot more difficult than you may think, so maybe viewers will be a little surprised.
Basically, this film is a waste of four dollars and two hours of your life. Your money and time would be better spent seeing another movie. Or going to the zoo. Or playing putt-putt. Or going to Northgate. Really, anything else you could do would be better.
