BOLT



The movie....the dog, the super hero dog named Lassie Bolt! And his loyal person Timmy Penny.

I'm telling you, I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I couldn't wait for the opening of Bolt. But just like the other movies I've seen lately, like Soul Men and the Changeling, the theatre was just about empty. By just about, I mean there was me, and a family of five who left more trash than a whole busload of famished football players. I don't know why I picked on football players, so you can substitute it with any group of starving 200 lb guys. Could it be I'm the only one who goes to matinees in this town? Anyway, I had plenty of elbow room.

The movie was adorable, and I say that as a dog person....and there is a cat for
cat lovers, who is hilarious, along with a hamster for hamster lovers and some pigeons. That should take care of most of the animal lovers, unless you are a horse lover, or love farm type animals.

The 3-D part was an added plus. The journey was interesting and funny. But for me? Not the best animated movie. But this weekend has something for everyone. Bond 007, for the adventurous and Twilight for the bloodsucking teenagers..said tongue in cheek.



I give this movie three and a half paws.

*I will be leaving helpful gift ideas for Christmas. Basically they will be gifts I'm contemplating getting for my own children and grandchildren...and I'm sharing these great gift ideas with you! These will appear on the bottom of my page. Starting today is my first gift idea, check it out.

FRIDAY MATINEE...on Friday!
Such a novel idea, isn't it?

Now that I'm back on track, I will be seeing one of two movies.
I count on you to help me. This week there are actually more that two that I'm torn between, but I don't want to burden either of my readers, so I'll narrow the selection to two...

Bolt..I saw the trailer and loved this little dog.

I love the little bit I saw when the street savvy pigeons confront him. But, that picture doesn't have pigeons. I think Hannah Banana does the voice for that little girl.

But I want to see this too! Soul Men!

I love Bernie Mac (may he rest in peace). And you know how much I love Samuel L. Jackson. AND....I have a thing for
road trips. And, You know what I mean...and so do you!

So please tell me which one you want me to see. I can't wait because there are more, so I might go again on Monday....

Chow, Hasta Whenever!
