In one scene in the middle of the film, Bolt gets a lesson from Mittens on how to look cute and hence grab the affection of picnicers for food.  With flopped ears and pouty smile, Bolt wins a lot of ‘aw’s from the audience at the promo screening.  Disney has perfected the art of cuteness.  Fortunately, the directors have not forgotten to include other human traits like goofiness (for hilarity) and intelligence (for the adult audience) into their characters of the new Disney animated movie.

A simple tale – simply told, using minimal budget and director’s minimalist style.  BALLAST which marks the directorial debut of African American life in the Mississippi Delta moves as slow as a river during a drought.

TWILIGHT is arguably the most anticipated movie this fall.  Based on Stephanie Meyer’s acclaimed novel of the same name that has sold over 25 million copies in 37 countries, TWILIGHT is the age old story of love given a modern vampire twist.

GROWING OP is a coming-of-age teen comedy with a twist.  The sheltered and home schooled Quinn (Steven Yaffee) rebels and in order to stay close to the young girl (Rachel Blancard) who has just moved next door, enrols in the school.

The oddest entry this year at the movies, the director of the SAW sequels (II – IV) makes a diligent and odd entry with a rock horror gore fest opera, entitled REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA.
