::The Spirit::

Rating 1 out of 5

The storyline was weak and the characters were cheesy. I really expected more. And the acting- I realize the type of movie it was, but the acting was ridiculous.

From Yahoo! Movies
Adapted from the Will Eisner's graphic novels, "The Spirit" tells the story of a man who fakes his own death and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus -- who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face -- has other plans. He's going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this coldhearted killer from the city's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront...all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader.

Rating: 4 out of 5

Rarely do you see a movie with two sides to it. The first filled with action and adventure, and the second with emotion. Bolt is that type of movie. The story is touching, the action is captivating, and the animation is perfectly detailed.

Synopsis from Yahoo! Movies

For super-dog Bolt, every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue - at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet - a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions - a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens and TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino - Bolt discovers he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.
