...that for many parents, this will suffice. The great films, the ones that challenge and entertain, like Wall-E, are rare. More often children are offered fare like The Tale of Despereaux, which had parents up in arms over how scary it was for a G-rated film, or Bolt, which was cute but began with a noisy action sequence, loaded with adult-oriented car chases and explosions. (Yes, it was a parody, but that's lost on most preschoolers.) Stacked up against them, Hotel for Dogs seems decidedly tame. And if you've already promised your kids a shelter...
What do all Hollywood studio execs wish they had right now? A hot dog. The three puppy movies released in the past three months--lapdog empowerment tale Beverly Hills Chihuahua, ruff-road-trip comedy Bolt and man-meets-retriever weepie Marley & Me--have all taken in more kibble than any other dog movie in four years.

Still, some things are worth gushing over. And this meticulous story of a program that TIME anointed in 1970 as "not only the best children's show in TV history [but also] one of the best parents' shows [ever]" is well deserved...
...billion in October and $47 billion September, according AMG Data Services - actually know something? If history is any guide, the answer is no. "Investors are uncanny at how they're timing is exactly wrong whenever they make large net redemptions from mutual funds," says Marvin Bolt, president of the investment advisory firm Alpha Plus Advisors, who took a look at the trend in a November white paper. "If you have sustained outflows then it's a pretty good indicator that [the market] will be higher a year from now." Yet even that trusty indicator can't tell you the precise...
