Eragon (2006)

Skip it.

[1/10 · 20 December 2006]

Really Bad. If you read the books, do yourself a favor and don't put yourself through the agony of sitting through this travesty. The story line (which skips about 70% of the original story line) wanders miles from the novel. Except for Rachel Weisz's great voice over work for the dragon (which is the best acting this film has) the acting from the rest of the actors is just above high school play level. What were Jeremy and John thinking in taking these roles? The special effects are decent but that's it and the sets are cheesy Save your cash and wait for the third novel.

Let's hope they will not be a sequel.

Valentine (2001)

Horrible translation of a great book.

[1/10 · 12 February 2004]

Valentine is a hack job of a horror film that not only rips off a very good novel but also completely screws up the tension that the novel gave. It makes the movie `Scream' look like a masterpiece, and all of the actors involved deliver bad performances except David Boreanaz who actually does a decent job with what is giving but not even he is good enough to save this movie from itself.

Avoid.
