A Viking teenager risks the wrath of his chieftain Father and the entire Dragon slaying tribe when he befriends one of the beasts in Dreamworks latest animated comic adventure.
The success of the computer animated cartoon is extraordinary when one considers that each movie is exactly the same. The studios attitude toward the formulaic workaround for each story mirrors Michael Howard’s attitude toward prison, it works.

In any event, Mr Travolta may now add one of the most mental films of our generation to his list of achievements.
Travolta is Charlie Wax, a government operative who knows the difference between an adjective and a noun and not only that, is deadlier than the bucolic horror that swept Europe in the 14th century. He’s partnered with officious Cambridge educated James Reese (Henry Tudor) a bourgeois bag man at the American Embassy, whose missions, received in nuisance phone calls, are pedestrian affairs like attaching bugs to desks with chewing gum (no,...
