It's simply ludicrous to imagine that Israelis and Palestinians were peacefully getting on with their lives until Bill Clinton got them all fired up with ideas about sharing Jerusalem.

All weapons and ammunition had been taken. Only three soldiers survived.

Crossroads, clearly a timeless tale of youthful rebellion and a brilliant metaphor for the trajectory of our lives, concerns three childhood friends in Georgia who have followed different paths since being in high school. Kit (Zoe Saldana) took the tempting cheerleading, Mimi (Taryn Manning) is naturally the opposite (big loser) and Lucy (Britney Spears) is the straight-A valedictorian with exorbitantly large breasts. Obviously, these restless young ladies need a cross-country road trip for a dose of self-discovery to ease that angst. Think Thelma & Louise plus Friend and Hot Guy set to “Not a Girl?...
