This Mexican film is poetic, philosophic, and quite beautiful. When a 12-year-old boy climbs a fence to get into the yard to get his ball and meets the mistress of the house, he does not know she is a great poet, and painter, and actress. She is old and dying, but she has enough energy left to teach him the facts of life--something he can't learn in school, which he has a hard time dealing with because he is a young starseed and it is mundane for him. She leaves him a box with her ...

The medicine woman—like many healers in the past—was called a witch by some and had to deal with the ...

A film you must see. A comedy centered around annual battle of the Irish bands of traditional Ceili music amidst the problems of everyday life–great characters and music with heartwarming human situations. If it wasn't for the sexual content and shadows in the tent scene, it would be great for the whole family. If you want to watch it with your family, be aware of the scene and shut it off for ten seconds. The film stars Colm Meany.

Two early-teen starseed children, a boy and a girl, who are different than their school peers find each other.

AnnaSophia Robb steals the screen as a very delightful, full-of-life adventurer. Definitely a film for the ...
