As far as family films go in 2008, Nim's Island
has instantly become one that possibly could be great. The movie stars
Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler and is about two different people whose
lives are pulled together: one is an adventure writer that never leaves
her apartment, the other is an adventurer living on a remote island.
From there, let the trailer explain the rest of the story. The first
half of this didn't seem too promising, but then as it gets into the
later half with the pirate and mayhem on the island, I get the feeling
that this could be the next Goonies or Hook. Take a look for yourself and behold the wonders of Nim's Island.
