The weekend of May 2nd we are happy to be bringing you the new Jodie Foster movie, Nim's Island.

Nim lves on a deserted island with her scientist father. She spends her days guided by her imagination through adventures in the woods accompanied by her wonderful animal friends. Nim's passion is books, especially those by Alex Rover, a world adventurer.

One night when her father gets lost at sea, Nim sends a letter to her literary hero pleading for help. Little does Nim know, that Alex Rover is a woman (Jodie Foster). Alexandra is agoraphobic and never leaves the house. She rarely even opens her front door. Alex also has a wild imagination, whereas her fictional character Alex Rover (also Gerard Butler) talks to her, mocks her, and gives her pep talks. When they find Nim's Letter, fictional Alex badgers Alexandra until he finally convinces her to leave the confines of her townhouse to go and help Nim. After a long and terrifying journey, both of the Alex's make it to Nim's Island and try to help find Nim's father and the secret of Nim's Island.

The weekend of April 25th we College Road Trip.

Dads, do you have trouble letting go of your daughters? James Porter does.

Martin Lawrence stars as Chicago cop James Porter, an overprotective father who wants to keep his college-bound daughter, Melanie (Raven-Symone), close to home. Melanie, though, wants to attend Georgetown instead of Northwestern, a college 40 minutes from home. James insistents on going with her on a cross-country road trip to Washington D.C., hoping to change her mind. En route, the action reaches farcical proportions as befits a National Lampoon movie. Donny Osmond even shows up in his first film role in years, playing an unendingly cheerful dad who is also on a college road trip.

Due to its popularity, this weekend we will once again be bringing you the beloved Dr. Seuss classic, Horton Hears a Who.

One day, Horton the elephant hears a cry from help coming from a speck of dust. Even though he can't see anyone on the speck, he decides to help it. As it turns out, the speck of dust is home to the Whos, who live in their city of Whoville. Horton agrees to help protect the Whos and their home, but this gives him nothing but torment from his neighbors, who refuse to believe that anything could survive on the speck.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

Join us for this wonderful childhood classic and learn again that the important things can't always be seen and trust in our own experience is of the utmost importance.

After last weekend's power supply failure we were able to make arrangements to get a new power supply. It arrived mid-week and we were able to finish installing it tonight (Thursday). We successfully ran it for several hours, so this weekend we'll back on screen.

Since we haven't been able to show it yet, we will be holding over The Spiderwick Chronicles, with a new film next weekend.

The Spiderwick Chronicles is a condensation of the award-winning series of books by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi - The Field Guide, The Seeing Stone, Lucinda's Secret, The Ironwood Tree, and The Wrath of Mulgrath.

Helen Grace (played by Mary-Louise Parker) is in the middle of a divorce. She, with her twin sons Jared and Simon (played by Freddie Highmore), and her daughter Mallory (played by Sarah Bolger) move from New York to Spiderwick, the strange and spooky house in the country left to her by her aunt.

Jared isn't happy. He doesn't want to be there. He misses his dad. And when things go wrong, he's usually the one blamed.

One day he finds a dumbwaiter that takes him to his Grandfather's study, which has been left untouched since his Grandfather disappeared under mysterious circumstances years ago. In the study Jared finds a 'field guide' to an unseen world right next door to ours, and a 'Seeing Stone' that allows him to see the goblins, spirits, trolls, and other creatures out of fantasy that inhabit that world.

He also finds that things aren't all sweetness and light in the world of fantasy.

Fair warning - Even though this film is rated PG, and the books it is based on are aimed at children in grades 3 - 6, Roger Ebert thinks it should have been rated PG13. Young children will be frightened.
