Weekly Roundup - Opening 11/21

For the second week in a row, only three movies are opening on Friday. Obviously, the best looking movie this week is the one not everyone can see due to the limited opening (Special), and the movie that looks to be delivering a crapfest of unoriginality will most likely make the most money this weekend (Twilight). But hey, at least we've got a family film in that looks entertaining (Bolt).

Weekend Suggestion:

I would recommend Special with Michael Rapaport, but since it's in such a limited release, I can't pick it. Therefore, Bolt is the pick of the week. And if you can, try to watch it in 3D. Those fun and goofy glasses always add a new level to the whole movie watching experience.

My Response: I am admittedly bias when it comes to animated movies these days, as I feel nothing out there is up to par with what comes out of the Pixar studio (Wall-E, Ratatouille). But Bolt has been getting pretty good reviews and it looks to be the best of the rest when it comes to animated movies these days. Rent it.
