Nim' Island

Thank Goodness Abigail Breslin is doing something new. She's a talented little girl, but I really hated "Little Miss Sunshine." What a lucky kid to get to work with the elusive Jody Foster, it must have been an excellent script for JF to even consider doing it, WTH does she do lately anyways? I guess whatever the heck she wants. Is Nim's Island any relationship to the Secret of Nim? Or is it the secret of Nimh? Such mysteries of life and children's media.

IMDB- have you tried it?

Hello, mammas, I just wanted to let you know about a tool I use to evaluate and find family movies and other reviews. The Internet movie database has a resource where you can find out which other movies your favorite actors and actresses have been in. So if your daughter gets all crazy about Hilary Duff's movies (she really was great before the whole skeleton eating disorder- hopefully she'll grow out of it. Did you know she was homeschooled?) You can enter Hilary Duff's name into the search bar and it will bring up her page that has a list of all her movies (each movie in the database has its own page) The Imdb is also a good resource for independent films, too. In addition, they have photo gallery pages and a little message board forum for each celebrity and movie in their database. So check it out, I think you'll like it.
