New in America
Two new films this weekend dare fight with Bond, but also drain from another keg.

Bolt is an animated film about a wonder dog (with the voice of John Travolta) with super powers. At least, that he believes himself. In fact, he is the star in a television series. When Bolt accidentally from the set disappears and ends up in New York, he must learn where his real strength lies. View the trailer.

The fantasy film Twilight focuses within the genre to a new target: tienermeiden. The story is about that girl Bella falls in love with the mysterious Edward. This appears to be a vampire, who do not drink blood but has dangerous enemies. View the trailer.
