Perry Chen Interviews Judy Moody's Star and Creator

The call came in that Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer author Megan McDonald and lead actress Jordana Beatty would be in town and available for interviews. Wouldn't you know it? A quick perusal of my copious day-planner finds the personal appearance falls on the same afternoon every one of my relatives is going in for elective surgery. This looks like a job for eleven-year-old film critic Perry Chen!

Working out of his parents' Carmel Valley home, Perry has become a one-kid journalistic posse writing book, film, and restaurant reviews for various publications, operating his own website and even appearing with Katie Couric on The CBS Evening News is about a third-grade girl who has big plans for the best summer ever. Unfortunately, her best friends leave to go on vacation at the last minute. Even her parents leave to visit California, so she is stuck with her Bigfoot-obsessed brother, her nerdy friend Frank, and her aunt Opal, a guerilla artist who is more like a kid than an adult.

I think the story, visuals, and acting are solid, especially Judy Moody and aunt Opal, but it lacks a powerful moral. Jordana looked older than a third grader in the film (she is 13 now). It did not seem realistic that some adults believe in Bigfoot just like Judy Moody’s younger brother. One thing I didn’t like is the potty humor, so I only recommend the film to kids younger than ten.

Biblical Board of Trade Announces Free Tickets Give Away to Dead Sea

The Biblical Board of Trade , a currency trading firm, announces two free tickets per account opened to the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit at the San Diego Natural History Museum through December 31, 2007.

The Dead Sea Scrolls -- objects of great mystery, intrigue and significance -- are widely acknowledged to be among the greatest archaeological treasures ever discovered. The Dead Sea Scrolls were initially discovered by Bedouin herders and then by archaeologists between 1947 and 1956 in 11 caves near Khirbet Qumran, on the northwestern shores of the Dead Sea in Israel. Thousands of fragments were discovered and pieced together into over 900 separate documents including biblical books, hymns, prayers, and other important writings. The Dead Sea Scrolls date from 250 BCE to 68 CE. Among them are some 230 biblical manuscripts representing nearly every book in the Hebrew Bible; more than 1000 years older than any previously known copies.

"The Biblical Board of Trade is proud to support this biblical archaeological exhibit," says LeRoy Young, founder of Biblical Board of Trade.
