While wondering if there is any wholesome family-themed movie to watch this summer, remember, I have had enough of superheroes, seriously, I chanced upon this movie called Kit Kittredge: An American Girl based on the popular American Girl® book series.

Costume movies are really not my thing but this one stars Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin who is so cute, acting alongside an all-star cast. I think that everyone who is looking for a young family-themed comedy movie to watch would find this entertaining.

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl opens on 2nd July, 2008. However, I checked our local cinema listings and it looks like they are giving this movie a pass. It’s too bad. I will have to wait for the DVD release then. Sigh.

Pixar’s animation, Wall-E, opened in cinemas on 27th June, 2008. Wall-E, which stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter — Earth-Class is said to be Pixar’s best film to date. Think Ratatouille and Finding Nemo.

While at first I was not keen to watch Wall-E, even after watching its trailer, because I do not really like robotic animations and on top of that, a SCI-FI robotic animation, which is what Wall-E is, since this was set in 2700, I thought I would pass.

However, almost everyone who has already watched it has given it two thumbs up as one of the best movies, if not the best movie released this year. It is also said to be Pixar’s best movie. Everyone says that Wall-E, the main character is so cute and loveable. Well, I guess I will have to go watch it myself!
