Starring : Abigail Breslin, Jodie Foster, Gerard ButlerDirector : Jennifer Flackett & Mark Levin
Running Time : 92 mins
Nim Rusoe (Breslin) lives on a remote island with her father Jack (Butler), where she spends her days communing with the wild life and reading her favourite adventure novels about Alex Rover. But when her father goes missing, and a strange ship turns up on the island, Nim gets in touch with Alex Rover to come and help – unfortunately Rover is a fictional character, and the author Alexandra Rover (Foster) is the exact opposite of her creation.
This was one of the most enjoyable family movies I’ve seen in a long time. Foster is brilliant as the agoraphobic Alex Rover and Breslin manages to pull off playing a kid living on an island without being too arrogant or stupid. Definitely one for the whole family, and filled with lots of nice visual gags, especially the chameleon’s flying through the air.

Dr Starling move over - I found Jodie Foster's next movie Oscar-winning role! Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who wrote ""My Stroke of Insight"" and delivered a talk about it on TED.com that will knock your socks off! The video's been seen 5 million times and I understand why.
Taylor was a Harvard trained brain scientist who suffered a massive stroke. I don't think we'll ever hear a story like this - Taylor understands how the brain functions and she was able to observe her mind deteriorating. She writes about the euphoric nirvana and a sense of complete peace and well-being she discovered in her stroke! She talks about this in her incredible (don't miss it) talk on TED.com. The book is great too - highly recommended. You'll learn how to 'step to the right of their left brain' to uncover a deep internal peace. Sign me up!
