Shooter

Disillusionment riding on the shoulders with the guilt of a friend's death, Mark Wahlberg (The Big Hit) airs a good show, true to his character. With the cinematography being an asset for the film, along with the plot of treachery... the film could be a gunners paradise with its surge of gun laden jargon.
A dual conspiracy laid three years ago, leaves this patriot short of motivation and will to return to his profession, landing him as a hunter in the woods. Political Influentials caught in a dilemma of the Presidents assasination, recruit this wounded soldier to tackle the impending danger. This is where his journey begins to unravel the truth behind his friend's death. An action oriented film with some brilliant gunnery, the film is a must watch for action lovers and Mark Wahlberg fans.
This actor has come a long way from being a Calvin Klein model to a movie star...are the Indian models listening???

Eragon

A curio of a kind that adds up nowhere to the Dragon stories... rendered useless..
The story of a boy, destined to fight evil and retrieve the days of the dragon and the dragon rider. The amalgam rides short of its depiction, making this 'fantastical journey', into a babble of cliches. The story indeed falls short of a flow and has a rather hap-hazard line to it.
Even the costumes for that matter, are not in tandem with the context of the film, where Eragon is seen in well-finished leather pants and contemporary styled cotton shirts.

An amateurish representation, that wastes the talent of John Malkovich and Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty). The archetype of fighting evil and good winning the battle however is due to get extended to a sequel, which is an intolerable proposition. Hence my suggestion: Don't even think of watching it!
