Big Hollywood Blockbusters
The biggest movie this week is Daniel Craig's (Infamous, Layer Cake) second outing as superspy James Bond in Quantum of Solace. Starting only minutes after the credits roll in Casino Royale, Bond returns to M. (Judi Dench: Notes on a Scandal, Mrs. Brown) still trying to make sense of the chaos and body count, and following a path that leads further into a mysterious organization, and one of its agents (Mathieu Amalric: Munich, A Secret). Directed by Marc Forster (Stranger than Fiction, Monster's Ball) and written by Paul Haggis (Crash, In the Valley of Elah), Solace is a globe-trotting adventure that puts Bond in 
conflict with his CIA ally (Jeffrey Wright: Cadillac Records, Broken Flowers) and in league with a beautiful Bolivian agent (Olga Kurylenko: Hitman, Max Payne), he defies MI6 to run from one frantic, fast paced action scene to the next. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
For this week's animated releases, Disney's Oscar-nominated Bolt stars John Travolta (Wild Hogs, Battlefield Earth) as a superhero dog in a TV series, where he and his owner (Miley Cyrus: Hannah Montana, High School Musical 2) have weekly adventures combating the evil Dr. Calico (Malcolm McDowell: I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, Gangster No. 1)... but when Bolt escapes his trailer into the real world, he doesn't know that he's not a super-dog, and sets out to "rescue" his owner, with the help of a New York alley cat (Susie Essman: The Man, The Secret Lives of Dentists) and Bolt fan in a hamster ball (Mark Walton: Chicken Little, Home on the Range). The other new animated feature this week is Happily Never After 2, 
a sequel that takes a new cast of fairytale characters and places them in a modern cartoon comedy. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
Kristen Stewart (Jumper, Into the Wild) stars in a pair of movies this week, including the film version of the wildly popular teen vampire romance novel Twilight (on DVD and Blu Ray, Now with Rifftrax!), where she stars as Bella, who moves to a small Washington town with her father (Billy Burke: Untraceable, Fracture) and starts a relationship with the enigmatic Edward (Robert Pattinson: Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix), a vampire. Though Edward and his family don't hunt humans, Bella becomes the target of a nomadic tracker vampire (Cam Gigandet: The O.C, Never Back Down). Stewart also stars in Mary Stuart Masterson's (Fried Green Tomatoes, Benny & Joon) directorial debut Cake Eaters, a small-town drama about two interconnecting families, with Aaron Stanford (X-Men 2, Spartan) and Jayce Bartok (The Station Agent, Swing Kids).
