Oh yes, we're getting more Cats & Dogs, and this time around, the film will be led by the nipply Robin (Chris O'Donnell) and the largest smile of innocence -- 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer. The Hollywood Reporter posts that both actors have picked up leads in the next installment -- Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. Get the pun? It's so Bondish. I wonder if the feline will be accompanied by abrocats.

Anyhow, in this installment, the felines and canines continue to battle for control of Earth, but that's all we're getting. The IMDb says the two actors will play "Shane" and "Chuck," but that's it. That being said, it's not too hard to imagine McBrayer's role in this, if he continues with the soft, goofy innocence.

Still, I just can't get behind this premise. I mean, between Bengals that act like dogs and could lay the smackdown, and laser cats, those dogs would be TOAST. Easily. Well, maybe that super-scary dog would level the playing field...

If you have a girl between the ages of 4 and 12 in your life, chances are pretty good you've heard of American Girl. The wildly successful franchise has spawned a whole series of high-end dolls, doll clothes, doll furniture and accessories, books, cookbooks ... and, of course, movies. American Girls are enormously popular with both girls and parents seeking a wholesome alternative to the freakishly-thin Barbie doll image or the hooker-in-training look of those wretched Bratz dolls. As an added bonus, they encourage girls to learn a little history, without even realizing it .

The whole thing with American Girl is that each of the dolls comes from a different time period: there's Kristen, an immigrant girl from Sweden; Felicity, an American Revolution girl whose father is a Patriot, while her best friend's father is a Loyalist; Samantha, being raised by her wealthy grandmother in the 1920s, when women's suffrage and class difference were big issues; Molly, a girl whose father, a doctor, is off serving in the Second World War; Addy, who escapes slavery with her mother to search for her father and brother, and so on. Each doll has her own set of books: there's the intro book, the birthday book, the book where so-and-so learns a lesson, the Christmas book, and even a line of mystery books.
