In the closing paragraph of his 1996 review of Dragonheart, noted critic Roger Ebert summed up this adventurous fantasy quite nicely: "While no reasonable person over the age of 12 would presumably be able to take it seriously, there is nevertheless a light-hearted joy to it, a cheerfulness, an insouciance, that recalls the days when movies were content to be fun." That's precisely the quality that makes Dragonheart so appealing, despite the fact that it didn't exactly take flight and breathe fire at the box office. The movie takes itself seriously without sacrificing the wit and cleverness that make it so entertaining. It's about the last of the great dragon slayers, Bowen (Dennis Quaid), who teams up with the last of the great dragons, Draco (voiced by Sean Connery), after they realise that killing each other would put them both out of business! So they devise a bogus dragon-slaying act that's a huge hit as they tour from village to village. Later, they must rouse the peasantry against the loutish Prince Einon (David Thewlis), whose life was once saved by Draco, but who now violates the "Old Code" of honour with a ruthless reign of terror. As Ebert rightly noted,...

 Ramey is a commanding and intriguing Mephistopheles, 2010-06-05
This 1989 production by the San Francisco Opera of Boito's great opera Mefistofele is an excellent one, and the opera is given absolutely complete. Samuel Ramey is ideal in the role of Mephistopheles. He is secure and commanding vocally and portrays an intriguing and multi-faceted character. Mephistopheles must be a complicated and contradictory personage and that is exactly what we see here from Ramey. The other main principals are very good too. Gabriela Benackova is excellent as Margherita both vocally and dramatically, very touching and tragic in her death scene. Dennis O'Neill makes a thoughtful and vocally secure Faust.
The production is very fussy in many places. There is so much going on in some of the scenes that it becomes somewhat confusing at times. That being said, there are lots of good ideas here which make it worth watching the opera through several times to see everything. In the prologue and epilogue the use of ranks of angels in theatre-type boxes rising from the stage works very well, and neatly deals with the impossibility of portraying heaven. It gets away from the ridiculous fluffy clouds and cherubs that so often feature in attempts at 'realistic' presentations.
There are optional English subtitles but just one stereo soundtrack.
