	Movie Review: WALL-E "The year is 2700 and the planet Earth has not been inhabited for hundreds of years due to said inhabitants' greed and general disregard for the planet," starts Kidology CP Team member Nancy Keith in her review of Pixar's latest film. "Trash is everywhere and there are no signs of life... except for a cockroach and a robot named WALL-E!" "WALL-E's director, Andrew Stanton, notes, 'The greatest commandment is to love one another, and to me, that's the ultimate purpose of living. So that was the perfect goal for the loneliest robot on Earth, to learn the greatest commandment, to learn to love'." As with all Kidology movie reviews, we provide children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, teachable themes with scripture, and discussion questions.

	Movie Review: Get Smart "I grew up on Maxwell Smart, and loved the TV show immensely," noted Kidology CP Team member Nancy Keith in review of *Get Smart. "While I wanted to love the movie, I was mildly disappointed with this effort. It was just OK." "Because Get Smart* is rated PG-13 and for various other concerns, it would probably not be really appropriate to show scenes of this movie in a children's ministry setting. This might encourage children to watch the whole film. It would be a mistake to endorse it in any way for that reason." Read the Review - Discuss the Film


	Kidology Report: Kid CEO "*Kid CEO* is first and foremost a book for parents and would-be parents," notes Kidology CP Team member Marty Martin in his review of Ed Young, Jr.'s book. "There are many challenges laid out in this book but the overall theme is a challenge for parents to take the God-given leadership role in their homes. "As children enter the family arena, they slowly become the center of the family universe. They become Kid CEOs of the family. Young encourages parents to take back the leadership role God has given them... What does it have to do with children's ministry?"
