The movie DVD choices from that week’s release schedule are quite scarce, but there is Abigail Breslin swinging in to save the day.

Nim’s Island
In the vein of classic family adventure scenarios, Breslin stars as Nim, a young girl who lives with her scientist father on a far-off tropical island. Life is idyllic until Nim’s dad (Gerard Butler) is stranded far away leaving Nim to not only survive on her own, but plus fight off the tour companies that threaten her island home. But she needs help and unknowingly turns to the worst person for the job — the agoraphobic author (Jodie Foster) of her favorite literary adventure character, Alex Rover.

The DVD has a healthy amount of features for those looking to dip behind the scenes. You can choose amoung two commentaries — one with Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin, and the other with directors/writers Mark Levin and Jennifer Flackett. There’s additionally 3 featurettes, a piece called “Abigail’s Journey and Working on Water,” and finally, deleted scenes.
