Bolt in 3D (or "BOLT WAS BETTER!")

The movie that started it all. It appeared to be just another kid's flick, but there were so many elements that drew us in. Firstly, Miley Cyrus. Need I say anymore? It's almost creepy how much I'm willing to support her career. Almost. Secondly, it's a movie about superhero animals and we're easily-entertained college students. These two things were practically made for each other. Lastly, it's in 3D, one of cinema's greatest gifts and yet most overlooked genres. There is no way we could just pass this up.The date is January 21, 2009. Some of you may know this as the opening night of Twilight. Well, you'd be wrong, because clearly and more importantly, this was the opening night of Bolt in 3(freaking)D. So for all of you who sold your soul to hopes of attractive, yet inconsequential vampires and their games of homoerotic baseball, you made a poor, poor choice. Why was Bolt so obviously superior? Because of one character. This one character alone had more personality and carried more interest than an entire gallivanting cast of teenage vampires. And that character is Rhino.
This overly excited hamster added the touch of bloodlust and insanity that I crave in my childrens movies. If you are even considering seeing this movie, see it for Rhino (and maybe Miley Cyrus). The group agreed that this is the best of all scenes of the movie. P.S. Yar! There be SPOILERS ahead!

Another note of special interest is that our dear friend Kylie is actually Penny, Bolt's faithful, loving mistress, in the flesh. See for yourself.


On a whole, the Trinity University 3D Movie club greatly enjoyed our first movie. We had a good turn out and some of us even managed to run into Twilight once Bolt was over and yell "Bolt was better!" much to our own amusement.
