Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Eragon: 1 of 15
With high production values, several esteemed actors, and stunning CG effects, Eragon should have been the next Lord of the Rings. But the rushed character development, lackluster screenplay, and a starkly plagiaristic plotline prevent it from even becoming the next Narnia. In concept and visualization Eragon's delusions of g...

Over a decade since their last outing, everyone's favorite sewer-dwelling, pizza-eating mutant reptiles are back and in top shape this time as sleek, computer generated personas.

Peter Berg's "The Kingdom" draws heavily on the visual styles and editing techniques witnessed in many of producer Michael Mann's later films. Mimicking the intense violence and nail-biting action of Miami Vice, but with heavy political undertones and a sweltering Saudi Arabian setting, "The Kingdom" attempts to play havoc wi... More..
