Guilty Pleasure: "Freaky Friday" (2003)
Before her crowning role as Cady Heron, and long before her rebellious streak and bouts of drug addiction, Lindsay Lohan turned out some deliciously addictive family classics: including “The Parent Trap” (1998), “Life–Size” (2000) and of course, “Freaky Friday.” In “Freaky Friday,” Lohan plays the fifteen–year–old Anna Coleman, an angsty teenage girl resentful of her mom Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) for not taking her dreams of being a rock star seriously (we’ve all been there, girlfriend) and for getting remarried too soon after the death of her father.

Viral Video: "It’s Thanksgiving"
If you enjoyed learning the days of the week in Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” you’re going to love this month’s autotuned tween sensation, Nicole Westbrook’s “It’s Thanksgiving.” This poised-to-go-viral, club-ready single has an accompanying video, which mostly takes places in what looks like Westbrook’s house, presumably because she’s nowhere near old enough to drive.
Trailer of the Week: "Side Effects"
The eerie trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s star–studded psychological thriller, “Side Effects,” hit the web on Friday with the morbidly cheesy tagline, “In Some Instances, Death May Occur.” What We Love: This manic trailer is cryptic but enthralling, painting a dark and sensuous world where nice young women start popping prescription pills to manage anxiety, wake up next to dead bodies and have to start asking themselves the hard questions. The trailer, like its characters, seems to dance on the edge of a nervous breakdown, flickering with paranoia, scandal and lots of drugs—a potent cocktail for a psychological thriller.

"Silver Linings" May Move You But Won't Change You
It’s autumn in Philadelphia, and Mom picks up Pat Solatano (Bradley Cooper) from a mental hospital — he was checked in after a breakdown he had when he caught his wife cheating. As we follow Pat’s tough but at times humorous journey, it’s clear that this is a formulaic romance.
