Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Opens in Theatres Wednesday
Wednesday, July 2 American Girl will release its first feature film, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. The movie stars Academy Award® nominee Abigail Breslin as Kit, a girl growing up during the hard times of the Great Depression. It also features Julia Ormond and Chris O’Donnell as Kit’s parents.
If by chance you are unfamiliar with American Girl and Kit, you must not have a girl age 5-13 in your household.
Kit Kittredge is a beloved historical characters and an American Girl doll. Her books—and now her movie—bring the 1930s and the challenges of the Depression vividly to life.
If your daughter is a fan of the original six-book series written by Valerie Tripp, she will surely enjoy the movie. In the books Kit longs for a tree house but never gets one. According to American Girl, a fantastic tree house set was created for the movie that required building not only the tree house, but the tree itself! A large trunk and branches were built out of wood and metal, then covered with large strips of bark created from burlap and plaster. In fact, American Girl was so enchanted by Kit’s tree house set that its product developers were inspired to create a toy tree house for girls to use with their Kit and Ruthie dolls!
According to American Girl, once 11-year-old Abigail Breslin signed on to play Kit, other casting decisions quickly fell into place, including the casting of Joan Cusack, Stanley Tucci, Glenn Headley, and Jane Krakowski as boarders who rent rooms from the Kittredges. Wallace Shawn makes an appearance as a crusty newspaper editor. Young actors Madison Davenport and Zach Mills were cast as Kit’s good friends, Ruthie and Stirling. An open casting call for extras was held at American Girl Place stores, and the movie will feature some first-time actors as Kit and Ruthie’s friends.
Keep in mind Massachusett's first American Girl Store will open late this fall at the Natick Collection in Natick (for more information, visit previous post at: http://baystateparent.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-englands-first-american-girl-store.html)

BEAT THE HEAT: Catch a FREE Movie on Mondays This Summer
Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and his wife Shonda Schilling, founder of the SHADE Foundation of America, have joined forces once again with National Amusements, Inc., a world leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, to re-launch the SPF-Sun Protection Flicks program.
The eight-week summer movie series was created by the SHADE Foundation and National Amusements to raise awareness of the importance of sun protection and to offer families out of the sun fun in support of the SHADE Foundation’s important mission.
The program starts tomorrow, Monday, June 30, and run through August 18.
The movie series, now in its second year, features a free family film every Monday at 11 a.m. at select National Amusements’ theatre locations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Patrons will also be able to purchase special Curt Schilling 44 ounce “Collector’s Cups”, with 50% of the proceeds to benefit The SHADE Foundation. Last year over 15,000 kids took advantage of this unique program and “Collector’s Cup” sales generated over $60,000 for SHADE.
“The SHADE Foundation applauds Showcase Cinemas as they join us in working towards our mission by offering kids an entertainment-filled alternative to playing in the hot sun,” said Shonda Schilling, a melanoma survivor and founder of the SHADE Foundation. “One in five kids will grow up to develop skin cancer, therefore, we are hoping parents, babysitters and camp directors will take advantage of these free sun-safe movies to keep their children shaded this summer and help reduce this alarming statistic.”
The summer movie series provides an out of the sun option for children in New England. The program works to satisfy the mission of the SHADE Foundation which is to eradicate melanoma through the education of children and the community in the prevention and detection of skin cancer and the promotion of sun safety.
National Amusements has a strong commitment to the community and hosts a number of community based initiatives in its theatres such as: Bookworm Wednesdays (a summer reading program for children), Kidtoon Films (G-rated movies every Saturday and Sunday morning), and Holiday Classics (providing canned goods for local food pantries).
.
Massachusetts locations participating in this year’s SPF program include Showcase Cinemas in Lawrence, Lowell, North Attleboro, Randolph, Revere, Woburn, Worcester and West Springfield. Rhode Island locations include Providence Place Cinemas and Showcase Cinemas Warwick.

WEEKEND PICK: U2 in 3-D at the Aquarium
Celebrate St. Patrick's Day this weekend with, in my opinion, the greatest Irish band ever - U2.
Better than the front row, even better than backstage, this incredible IMAX film, at the New England Aquarium in Boston, puts viewers onstage with Bono and the rest of the band during U2’s Vertigo tour. The audience rocks out alongside U2 to all of the classic songs, including “Beautiful Day,” “Sunday, Bloody Sunday,” “Vertigo” and “With or Without You.”
Produced by National Geographic and filme
d from a series of live concerts throughout South America, the film’s amazingly realistic 3D technology puts the audience face-to-face with the band as drum sticks, guitars and even the crowd appear close enough to touch.
d from a series of live concerts throughout South America, the film’s amazingly realistic 3D technology puts the audience face-to-face with the band as drum sticks, guitars and even the crowd appear close enough to touch. Boston U2 fans are especially lucky: They can see the film on the same screen that The Edge watched it when he previewed the film - the New England Aquarium’s Simons IMAX Theatre.
"U2 3D” will not be released on DVD or shown on TV, so fans have a limited opportunity to relive the Vertigo tour.
Showtimes are:
Saturday, March 15 & Sunday, March 16 at 4:10, 6 , and 8 p.m., as well as Monday, St. Patrick's Day at 5:10 and 7:10 p.m.
Special pricing is in effect for this special presentation. To get tickets or for more information, visit http://www.neaq.org/visit/imax/index.php
