Filled with fun and laughter, Bolt takes a giant leap for the Disney Animation Studios.
Produced by PIXAR's John Lasseter, the crafty animated, family comedy has all the ear markings of a step toward films like
Ratatouille, The Incredibles and Monsters, Inc.
If you like animated family films that play to adults as well as children, then Bolt should charge your day.
For super-dog Bolt (Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue, at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood sound stage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet, a cross-country journey through the real world to get back to his owner and co-star, Penny (Cyrus).

Twilight fans (especially the female ones) rejoice! The movie is an extremely well directed, well acted, and altogether enjoyable film that includes your favorite characters. You will squeal with delight.
Now, I will admit, no matter how it may classify me, I have read Twilight, and, I found it to be an enjoyable novel. Because of this I can promise you that director Catherine Hardwicke keeps everything you love about the book intact.
The story, for those who have not read the book, is a simple yet endearing tale of love, loneliness and teenage angst. The movie begins with Bella (Stewart) moving away from her Arizona home where she lived with her mother, to Forks, Washington a dismal area where her father Charlie (Burke) lives.

Releasing this week in some areas of the country, Tru Loved makes an entry into the alternative lifestyle film category.
The slow moving film with fair direction and average acting, opens eyes to same sex relationships.
Unfortunately, it is more of a lesson plan than entertainment.
Whether you are curious or live the lifestyle, this film has a message that speaks out to those who are fighting within to find their place in society.
Tru, a 16 year-old high school student from San Francisco, is uprooted from her gay-friendly home by her lesbian moms and moved away, not only from San Fran, but also from her gay dads, to a new, decidedly more conservative neighborhood in suburban Southern California. Her non-traditional family makes her a bit of an outsider until high school football hero and BMOC Lodell takes a liking to her.

Interesting, captivating and realistic, Battle in Seattle delivers a powerful message, and some lessons to be learned. Directed with precision by Townsend, the docudrama reflects the reality of the true incident and comes off the screen delivering strong emotional content. Comprised of excellent cast performances enhancing the thrust of the film, the Battle in Seattle comes up a big winner.
In November of 1999, five days rocked the world as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Seattle in protest of the World Trade Organization's Ministerial Meeting. Among them are Django (Benjamin), Sam (Carpenter), Lou (Rodriguez) and Jay (Henderson).

This has to be the most action-packed Bond ever as it had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish with bombs, bullets and blades. Proving me wrong in Quantum of Solace, as I was unhappy with his performance in Casino Royale, Daniel Craig has become the new and improved Bond.
The film opens right where Casino Royale ended, showing the completion of Bond’s (Craig) assignment with the delivery of Mr. White (Christensen) to M (Dench) for interrogation. In an instant we find that there has been betrayal within the ranks and a mysterious organization Quantum has become a major player in the game of world domination.
