Bowen: A nuisance! Get rid of her.
Draco: Why?
Bowen: They're trying to placate you with a sacrifice.
Draco: [knowingly] Oh, now whoever gave them *that* bright idea?
Bowen: Never mind! Just get rid of her!
Draco: How?
Bowen: Eat her!
Draco: Oh, please. YUCK!
Bowen: Aren't we squeamish; you ate Sir Egglemore, hypocrite!
Draco: I merely chewed in self-defense, but I never swallowed.

Featured review

Has a Soul of Its Own Due to Its Dominant Musical Score.

Warrior Dennis Quaid and the last dragon on Earth (voiced by the excellent Sean Connery) try to take down evil Middle-Age ruler David Thewlis in this fun and impressive action flick. Dina Meyer, Pete Postlethwaite and Julie Christie all do good jobs in supporting turns. The greatest thing about "Dragonheart" however is its amazing score which is arguably the finest a film has ever experienced. The production's music raises what could have been a mediocre outing for all involved. 4 stars out of 5.
