The server is still down but Rob is working to get it fixed. Something about all his pictures and schoolwork being on there or something. Frankly, I stopped listening after "all the movies are gone". But he got the cable fixed, so that's nice. Now I won't miss any of my new shows. Bolt (John Travolta) is the superhero dog star of a hit TV series, except he doesn't know it's not real. When the show films a cliffhanger episode featuring his human, Penny (Miley Cyrus), being kidnapped by evil Dr. Calico (Malcolm McDowell), Bolt makes a frantic attempt at a rescue but ends up getting accidentally shipped to New York City. Still convinced he is part of a worldwide conspiracy, Bolt forces streetwise alley cat Mittens (Susie Essman) to help him find Penny. Along their cross-country journey, they pick up superfan hamster Rhino (Mark Walton) to assist.
It's not a Disney classic, but it's still a solid film. The story is very cute, the characters are well-realized, and it's filled with the little touches that make it re-watchable. It was meant to capitalize on the popularity of Miley Cyrus, but she is probably the weakest link in the whole movie. I'm not sure that's entirely her fault since her character is barely in the film at all but her voice doesn't convey any emotion. I was never young enough for the Hannah Montana phenomenon so I don't really get her appeal.
