  Film Review: Little Secrets
Little Secrets has the sweetness of a wholesome family film with none of the saccharine mush that usually compensates for writing.
Instead, in the film keeping secrets becomes a way for the kids of the neighborhood to hide their mistakes and for Emily to hide who she really is. They become a way to shield herself from getting close to people.
Secrets indicates that we cannot truly become close to people-and become their friends-so long as we refuse be ourselves with them.

 Little Secrets - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
Little Secrets takes place in a clean town where the houses are brand-new, the window frames are alike, no cracks in the sidewalks and everyone wears a safety helmet when on a bicycle.
Little Secrets is much like a made-for-TV movie the family could watch but be aware of the scene where mom goes to the hospital to have her baby.
Little Secrets is like ten Disney Sunday Night Movies in one, with all ten tear-jerking, sentimental climaxes happening at once.

 FILM CLIPS / Also opening Friday
This little gem from Germany stars Martina Gedeck as Martha, a woman who is so clipped and forbidding that it takes five or 10 minutes to notice that she's quite beautiful.
In "Little Secrets," a smart, teenage violinist named Emily (Evan Rachel Wood) has the talent and discipline to be a world-class musician.
This movie is ideal for families who want to explore the meaning of secrets and friendship, and for anyone interested in a sweet story of a violinist determined to make her youth orchestra.

 LITTLE SECRETS (PG): ChildCare Action Project (CAP) Media Analysis Report MAR22089
Little Secrets earned a CAP Final Score of 85 at the top of the scoring range for PG movies (86 to 68 out of 100) in the CAP comparative baseline database of movie scores.
Promising to never never tell anyone Emily takes their secrets, which are typically broken objects of value which the kids wish to hide from somebody, most often their parents, and stores them in lunch bags in a footlocker.
Little Secrets is a fine piece of work about morality and ethics, friendship and loyalty, and several other quite noble personality characteristics IF the "redeeming" programming is fully incorporated with the needs for it.

For fifty cents a secret, she listens to the confessions of kids and dispenses advice.
Her pint-sized clients include a thief, a catcher of stray cats, a little girl who has misrepresented herself on the Internet, and a boy whose adventuresome schemes keep him busy playing many different roles.
She keeps a secret for him — the fact that he has broken a precious knight in his father's expensive chess set.

 deseretnews.com | Young cast shines in 'Secrets'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
LITTLE SECRETS —** 1/2 — Evan Rachel Wood, Michael Angarano, David Gallagher, Jan Broberg Felt, Rick Macy, Vivica A. Fox, Paul Kiernan, Tayva Patch; rated PG (brief violence, mild vulgarity); see the "On the Screen" column for complete listing of local theaters.
In fact, "Little Secrets" does feature a worthy message (to reveal it would spoil things) and manages to look almost as good as most Hollywood productions, despite a much, much smaller budget (somewhere in the $2.5 million range).
"Little Secrets" is rated PG for brief violence (a traumatic accident, which happens off-screen) and some mildly vulgar humor.

 SPLICEDwire | "Little Secrets" review (2002) Blair Treu, Evan Rachel Wood, Vivica A Fox
It's the story of Emily (Evan Rachel Wood, also in this week's "Simone"), a pretty 14-year-old who is at an age when her priorities are moving toward pursuing her gift for the violin and away from her lemonade-stand style "business" as a professional confessor.
For 50 cents per secret, intelligent, outgoing Emily has provided confidentiality and advice to neighborhood kids who have broken parents' favorite trinkets, smuggled kittens into their bedrooms or posed as their big sisters in online chat rooms.
Emily's disproportionately piqued reaction to this tidbit hints heavily at a secret of her own that the rest of the movie builds toward revealing.

 Pssst: a 'Little Secret' worth telling to families | csmonitor.com
I WON'T TELL: In 'Little Secrets,' Evan Rachel Wood opens a Secret Keeper booth in her yard, where neighborhood kids confide in her.
"Little Secrets" is a genuine PG, gentle and wholesome almost all the way through.
One of her activities is a Secret Keeper booth in her yard, where she draws long lines of neighborhood kids eager to confide some secret they have – for a small fee – safe in the knowledge that she won't tell a soul.

 'Little Secrets' is no sermon but has a moral   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The heroine of the well-meaning but forgettable family film, "Little Secrets," is a 14-year-old Salt Lake City girl (Evan Rachel Wood) who has set up a "secrets booth" in her back yard.
She's also a budding violin virtuoso and a young woman who seems to be unusually resentful and emotionally threatened by the late-in-life pregnancy of her 40ish parents.
But its publicist assures me "Little Secrets" has no secret connection to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Treu's sweet-spirited vision of life, and the winning performances of his ensemble of kid actors, gradually broke down most of my resistance.

 "Little Secrets" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
Kids line up daily to share with her their latest secrets: the stray cat taken in against house rules; top secret plans to dig to China; broken items that need to be repaired and/or replaced before Mom and Dad find out...
At first, some of the advice that Emily gives the younger neighborhood kids sounds wrong, and indeed it is. But as the film progresses she learns from her mistakes.
Many of the children had secrets about "bad" things they did (broke things, stole things) but in the end they had to tell the truth...

 NYPOST.COM Movie Reviews: TEEN CHARMER By MEGAN TURNER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
"Little Secrets" is a famously persnickety bunch, but budding adolescents shouldn't find much fault with this pleasantly diverting, albeit formulaic, teen drama.
The secrets range from stolen candy to covertly stashed kittens and, as Emily says, "often involve broken merchandise," but some secrets are harder to keep.
It's a cute idea that functions as a support structure for the understated moralizing that is the true purpose of Jessica Barondes' script, as Emily meets a boy ("Seventh Heaven's" David Gallagher), grapples with her own secret and learns some life lessons.

 Little Secrets   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
For an affordable 50-cents each, she'll listen to secrets and conceal broken household items, which is a great way for to avoid getting grounded.
That's Emily's dilemma in Little Secrets, a 7th Heaven-like parable aimed towards the WB generation.
For a harmless family film, with an expected positive message, Little Secrets has its mature moments that deal with such topics as underage drinking (uncommon for a PG flick).

 Little Secrets
Emily (the alarmingly thin Evan Rachel Wood)--who is quick to snottily inform that she's named after Dickinson and Bronte ("Only the most famous poet and writer in the world," she speciously offers)--is a neighbourhood "secrets keeper," charging four bits for her tight lips from the neighbourhood's pathologically dishonest children.
When cute boy David (David Gallagher) and his little brother Phillip (Michael Angarano) move in next door with some new secrets in tow, Emily's own big mystery threatens to turn her golden-hued life into an after-school special.
Cutesy and piping, Little Secrets is deeply irritating and vaguely disturbing.

 CinemaSpeak.Com - Little Secrets
Granted, I'm not the target audience for Little Secrets, but I appreciated it for what it was -- an unpretentious and well-meaning film with positive messages, the likes of which have been severely lacking in family films of late.
To make matters even worse, some of the secrets that she's supposed to keep are starting to get out, including a major one of her own.
The story of Little Secrets is strictly afterschool special material, but the nice direction by Blair Treu (especially in the Slacker-like opening introduction to the neighborhood) and the central performance by star-in-the-making Wood, elevates it into something a little better.

Her fall is the biggest problem in a picture set in an unspecified suburban community that somehow has its own symphony orchestra, one that is so competitive that Emily's tutor, Pauline (Vivica A. Fox), lost her job as third-chair violinist after five seasons.
Around the time the flawless Pauline tells her, "You can't keep secrets about yourself and lead a true life, Emily," the perfect Emily blurts out that she's — Oh no! — adopted.
The truth is preferable to secrets, the film emphasizes.

It was true, but it's also one of the dirtier, more tightly held secrets out there at the moment and until then, as far as I know, had not been exposed to the masses.
The fact is that should that little secret become common knowledge, the SE's would soon do somthing about it and that would ruin a nice little earner for those that have discovered it or have been told about it in private through the seo underground.
I hear the sentiment though, I always think its a bit of a shame when someone publically posts a little nugget or suggests some killer idea, because at the end of it all, you can bet that some SE engineer will be reading it and taking steps to marginalise.

"Little Secrets" opens with a father and daughter merrily singing lyrics from "The Sound of Music," moves on to speedup camera shots (ha-ha) and is set in the cheeriest of perfect suburbs.
Emily, 14, is played by adorable, scrub-cleaned Evan Rachel Wood, who primly keeps the tiny secrets of neighborhood kids in paper bags (this feels very Our Gang serial, circa 1930).
Her secret is that she's adopted and ashamed about it, yet her good looks and musical talent are compensation; it's hard to accept that preteen Philip (cute Michael Angarano) warms up to her by learning the piano, beginning with – a Mozart sonata!

 Online NewsHour: Larry Sabato and Dirty Little Secrets -- October 14, 1996
And with that subcommittee, he or she was able to build a little empire with interest groups, with individuals with a lot of money.
That member did those people and those interest groups favors and in return got lots of money for reelection, got junkets, got honoraria feedback when that was permitted, and they were well taken care of.
The problem is that the Republicans used many of the same corrupt methods to gain power in 1994, and they’ve shown relatively little interest in correcting the underlying corruption during their two years in power.

These are the "dirty little secrets" that most designers learn about only after they buy and start to use a hull fairing program.
Designers should also know more about the tools they use and understand what restrictions are placed on them by the program's user interface and what restrictions are placed on them by the underlying NURB hull geometry.
What makes it worse is that the surface curvature display tools can magnify every last little bump and wiggle, so it is impossible to fair a surface perfectly.
