Bolt
Its a good movie for animal lovers,especially dog lovers.its a bit like Thunderblot in "The 101 Dalmatians" if you remember,the show the little puppies watch.Anyway this movie was nominated for 2 Gloden Globes but Wall E ruled both the Golden Globes & Academy Awards.This movie is simply about a little pup who has been acting his whole life in a tv series for kids,and his onwer Penny(i think) lives with him in a little van.Somehow bolt gets stranded in New York City,a long way from Penny and he then see's that he is just an ordinary dog,who can't do anything special like his famous "Super bark".He then meets a few friends who help him find Penny again.believe or not i haven't fully watched the movie but i just wanted to review it because the voices of these characters are: John Trovolta as Bolt,Miley Cyrus as Penny and many more.Miley Cyrus wrote a song in the movie which was nominated for a golden globe,and this movie was just released right before Trovolta's son died.I give this movie a 3 out of 5 rating.

Ranma 1/2
Its an anime and manga by Rumiko Takahashi.Its about Ranma Saotome and his father Genma fall into the cursed springs at Jusenkyo. When someone falls into a cursed spring, they take the physical form of whatever drowned there hundreds or thousands of years ago whenever they come into contact with cold water. The curse will revert when exposed to hot water until their next cold water exposure. Genma fell into the Spring of the Drowned Panda while Ranma fell into the Spring of the Drowned Girl.
Upon returning to Japan, the pair settle in the dojo of Genma's old friend Soun Tendo, a fellow practitioner of Musabetsu Kakutō Ryū or "Anything-Goes" martial arts which Genma passed on to Ranma. Genma and Soun agreed years ago that their children would marry and carry on the Tendo Dojo. Soun has three teenaged daughters: Kasumi, Nabiki and the hot-tempered, but helpful, martial arts practicing Akane. As Akane is Ranma's age she is appointed for bridal duty by her sisters. Although both initially refuse the engagement having not been consulted on the decision, they are generally treated as betrothed and end up helping or saving each other on numerous occasions. They are frequently found in each other's company and are constantly arguing in their trademark awkward love-hate manner that is a franchise focus.This is a really funny anime,and it was also one of my first animes! I give it a 5 out of 5 rating.

Twilight The Movie
As you all know the book is a bet seller and one of the best books of its own genre,for people who have read these books i assure you that only disappointment awaits you in this movie.Everyone is only interested in Rob Pattinson/Cedric and not that the movie,besides he is only nice to look at but he is nothing like Edward Cullen.Bella was i ok i guess,but i found her a bit too gothic in this movie,and one of my most fav characters is Edward and Jacob but the minute i saw Shark Boy and said "is he Jacob?!".The only thing which was nice in this movie was Charlie,Renee,and the Base ball game which was awesome in the movie!but James,Laurent and Victoria are big disappointments-and most of the parts were altered and it was NOT good!I know that there is going to be New Moon the movie and i hope that it will not disappoint us"Twi-hards" anymore.I give this movie a 1 out of 5 rating.

Spore
In spore you get you create your own cell and eventually grow,there are 5 stages:cell,creature,tribal,civilization and space(not so sure what it is called).In the cell stage you get to swim around,you can also choose to be a herbivore,carnivore or an omnivore.Your mission in this stage is to grow,eat and stay alive,oh and also evolve-i really enjoyed this part of spore because its the more interesting and its the best and enjoyable part of the entire game.The graphics for the cell stage was absolutely amazing! other than that i thought it was quite boring and hard to understand.I only survived till tribal stage and the rest is forgotten,i told my brother to erase its existence from the computer because it occupied a lot space and i wanted to try playing the new Warcraft game which just came out.The people who created Spore are the same people who created Sims 1 and 2.For people who are really interested in Spore i would like to give a little more info on it,in the creature stage you evolve and go on land.There you try make friends and enemies,eat,grow,reproduce,migrate,evolve and even have a pack.Once you are smart enough(i mean your creature) you find out how to make fire,then you start you own tribe and its the same as the rest of the stages but you have more weapons and all that.
Basically you have to play it yourself to know more,i give this a 3 out of 5 rating.Because of the cell stage and nothing more.

Vampire Knight
Vampire Knight!
Its an awesome manga and anime which is a must read for people who love Vamps and fantasy stuff,this was my 2 or 3 manga and now its an anime.The synopsis:
Yuuki Cross's earliest memory is of a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by one vampire and was saved by another, Kaname Kuran.Yuki is the adopted daughter of the Headmaster of Cross Academy, Cross Kaien and has grown up and became a prefect for the school with one main purpose: to protect the Human Day Class Students and the Vampire Night Class Students from each other. Her fellow guardian, Zero Kiryu, a childhood companion whose parents were killed by a pureblood vampire, is now determined to kill them all and refuses to trust them. Through a cruel twist of fate, Zero becomes a vampire himself, having been bitten by a pure-blood vampire four years before, Shizuka Hio. Kaname leads the group of Night class as their President, with the help of Takuma Ichijo, the Vice-president.
Whew,thats one heck of a story.I give it a 3and half out of 5 rating.I suggest that everyone reads and watches it,if you want to watch it please watch it on youtube or cruchyroll.

Skip Beat
Skip Beat
This was originally a manga,which i read then i heard from sources that it was about to become an anime.It is the story of Kyoko Mogami a16-year-old girl who discovers her childhood friend, Sho Fuwa, who is an aspiring pop idol as well as the boy she loves, only keeps her around to act as a maid and earn money. Furious and heart broken, she vows to get revenge by beating him in show business.This is really funny,and i recommend that everyone has to watch it-later on Kyoko meets Tsuruga Ren who is now the top actor in the industry and Fuwa Sho hates him.So i give this a 5 out of 5 rating,you could say that this is as good as bleach!There is really nothing much to say,after all this-my advice is watch it on the internet or read the manga.The author Yoshiki Nakamura is very talented,she has done other comics as well but this is one of her best.
