...imaginary world. The gravity of grief carries Tenma's character through the story; the robot Toby's need to prove himself to his dad and himself turns him into a superior being, the best of both species. Ham Egg, the exploiter of children down on earth, is a little bit Fagin, a little bit Stromboli from the Disney Pinocchio, and a whole lot rotten; but, thanks to Lane's vocalizing, he has enough vaudeville swank and showmanship to make him an irresistible cartoon villain. (The same can't be said for Sutherland's mayor, a one-note sociopath who risks...

...people-watcher and I think that I inherited a little bit of it from her. But where she’s interested in what people are saying to each other, I pay more attention to the way people navigate and—because I’m in almost the same spot every week—to patterns. There’s a guy with a blue bicycle who has crashed on the same spot three times this year, an old lady who crosses Brattle Street at needlessly perfect right angles, and tour groups with matching beverages.

...acting skills are not as up to par, though they do go well with any awkward young character to play. In Adventureland, his most recent movie, which he headlined, he blinks and stares at the girl he likes (and who likes him) as he haltingly confesses to getting a bit serious on a date with someone else last week...
