Quantum of Solace ***
Daniel Craig returns for a second go-round as a brooding, blond James Bond.

PG-13, 105 minutes

Bolt **½

The title character, voiced by John Travolta, is a CGI dog starring in a children's TV show. He is so immersed in his role that he doesn't realize it's make-believe. After Bolt is accidentally stranded in New York City, he is convinced he has to save his owner Penny (Miley Cyrus) from evil Dr. Calico (Malcolm McDowell), and sets off (in time-honored 'toon fashion) on a journey with animal pals.

PG, 96 minutes

In Treatment

HBO adapted this half-hour drama from an Israeli series, bringing in Gabriel Byrne to play the psychotherapist in whose office most of the action takes place - with side trips to visit his shrink (Dianne Wiest). Each episode focuses on a therapy session with five different patients: a gymnast, a married couple, a young doctor and a Navy pilot. Nine discs feature 43 episodes from the first season.

Unrated, 1,290 minutes
