Plot:
Teen sensation Lindsay Lohan stars as Lexy Gold, budding journalist and fashion queen of Millington Preparatory School in Manhattan. Together with her best pal Jennifer (Brenda Song), Lexy's always on the lookout for the latest scoop and the latest style.

When one of her teachers mysteriously disappears, Lexy goes from school advice columnist to determined investigative reporter. And with a little help from her friends Jennifer and Gabe, and her street-smart editor Jack, Lexy vows to get to the bottom of the mystery. Before they know it, they find themselves hot on the trail of a story bigger then they could have ever imagined!

Extras:

• Scene Access
• Bonus Trailers
• Deleted Scenes
• Closed Captioned

While entertaining... this one is an average film...maybe a little higher. It did keep my attention easy enough but I found the mystery itself to be very predictable. Though I shouldn't be surprised by that... as the film is made for the younger crowd.

I nice watch, but nothing really exciting. Michael J. Fox is fun to watch, but I think the movie could have been more.
For some reason I had remembered it being a Bruce Willis vehicle, so I was a little disappointed when pulling the DVD from the shelves. I think this movie could have really been interesting, if it starred Michael J. Fox with Bruce Willis' McClane type of character.

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Star Trek: Voyager
7.10 Shattered
Writer: Michael Taylor (Screenwriter), Mike Sussman (Original Material By), Michael Taylor (Original Material By)
Director: Terry Windell
Cast: Kate Mulgrew (Captain Kathryn Janeway), Robert Beltran (Chakotay), Roxann Dawson (B'Elanna Torres), Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris), Ethan Phillips (Neelix), Robert Picardo (The Doctor), Tim Russ (Tuvok), Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine), Garrett Wang (Harry Kim), Martin Rayner (Dr. Chaotica), Manu Intiraymi (Icheb), Scarlett Pomers (Naomi Wildman), Nicholas Worth (Lonzak), Martha Hackett (Seska), Mark Bennington (Adult Icheb), Vanessa Branch (Adult Naomi), Anthony Holiday (Rulat), Terrell Clayton (Andrews), Majel Barrett (Computer Voice (voice))

Voyager gets split into different time areas and only Chakotay can travel between those areas. It's fun to revisit instances of Voyager's past this way and get some climpses of a possible future.
Though it's stupid how Chakotay refuses to tell Janeway at the end about his experience, citing the Temporal Prime Directive. But he had no problems telling Janeway of the past a lot of stuff about the future (even though as they later find out she will forget it anyway). Telling Janeway about his experience wouldn't pollute the time line as she already knows everything which there is to know about. So he could just as easily have explained to her his actions.
