Lindsay Lohan checked out of Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah after spending a few months in rehab.

Lindsays father, Michael, said her daughter extended her stay at the recovery center, longer than needed because she had chosen to. He also went on to say that he will be there for her, but she’s going to have a lot of decisions to make on her own.

After making a couple of tame and light hearted comedies that were hit or miss with audiences, The Farrellys have gone back to their raunchy ways that were more in line with their first few efforts. But just because the raunch factor is back, does that mean it’s any good? For the most part yes, but compared to their earlier works, this is a step down.

Add Tom Wilkinson, Sydney Pollock and a dynamite screenplay and we have the thriller of year.

Having scored big as the screenwriter for all three Bourne Identity box office bonanzas, Tony Gilroy saw two opportunities instead of just one. The first opportunity was to break another top-notch screenplay on a viewing audience hungry for mystery thrillers. The second opportunity was to break into directing. In unleashing his new hit Michael Clayton he made good on both. The result is a first rate thriller in which newbie director Gilroy is graced with top-notch talent.

But it looks like Britney may finally be getting a break, as her latest song *Gimme More* is a success on the music charts, topping the Billboard Charts at Number 1.

It communicates almost no sense of its own identity; everything seems borrowed and tired.

Alexander Ludwig, a young actor best known for his work in sports sequels (The Sandlot 3, Air Bud 3), plays the Potterlike hero, Will Stanton. Christopher Eccleston is his chief adversary, a monstrous creature known as The Rider, who might as well be called Lord Voldemort.

It is an amiable enough movie and ought to give warm and fuzzy amusement to kids 8 and older, even as it will appear utterly contrived to adult eyes.

It is a real white-knuckle movie. Film fans 16 and older with strong stomachs for hyper-realistic screen mayhem and an interest in world affairs should find it riveting.

To no ones surprise, the lovelorn-medic theme fuels the Greys Anatomy spinoff Private Practice (Wednesdays on ABC, at 9 p.m.), which introduces viewers to a brand-new group of very attractive health professionals. Once again, temperatures are rising in prime-time drama.
