Bolt

Took the girls to see Bolt today. Good movie, about what you'd expect with a Pixar release. If you're expecting a story line that departs from the Toy Story formula, you'll be disappointed, but it's a really good formula.

I think method acting is the secret. Miley Cyrus does the voice of someone she isn't, which I suppose fits. And John Travolta does the voice of someone who believes in something almost as bizarre and improbable as Scientology, which is to say he believes he's a dog with special powers who rescues his person every day. Like I say, it's not far from Scientology.

We weren't the only people who decided to check out a matinee, though. The theater was pretty crowded and we barely made it to the show time, so we ended up sitting in the front row, only place I could see three adjacent empty seats. We weren't even alone in the front row.

In my not particularly humble opinion, they shouldn't even install seats that close to the screen. The girls didn't seem to mind, though.
