Plot Summary for Eragon
Eragon begins with a 15 year old boy, Eragon, finding a mysterious blue stone in The Spine, an untamed range of mountains near the small village he calls home, Carvahall. Eragon takes place in a land called Alagaësia, which is ruled by the evil, twisted king, Galbatorix, who was once one of the dragon riders until he lost his dragon and was corrupted by madness after the dragon riders denied him another dragon. After being unable to sell or trade his find, Eragon soon witnesses a baby dragon hatch from inside the "stone." Dragons are a species thought to be extinct, with the exception of Galbatorix's dragon. He raises the dragon in secret until two hooded figures, the evil Ra'zac, enter the town looking for his mysterious blue stone. Eragon and Saphira, as he names his dragon, manage to escape danger by hiding in the forest, but Eragon's Uncle Garrow is not as fortunate. The Ra'zac kill his uncle and destroy the house. Eragon, remembering tales of the past, takes it upon himself to become one of the Dragon riders, the ancient warriors who were slaughtered by the crazed Galbatorix in his rise to power. Accompanied by Brom, a mysterious old storyteller from his village who knows much about the Dragon Riders, swordfighting, and magic, Eragon learns the ways of the Dragon Riders as they hunt down the elusive Ra'zac.
Much researching in the town of Teirm leads Brom to the conclusion that the Ra'zac reside in Dras-Leona.
However, revenge is not what Eragon finds in Dras-Leona. He, Saphira, and Brom are instead lured into the Ra'zac's ambush. They are rescued by a mysterious stranger, Murtagh. Unfortunately, Brom is gravely injured, and he soon dies--but not before revealing his past to Eragon. Eragon is shocked to find that Brom was also a Dragon Rider that lost his dragon. The new company of three (Eragon, Murtagh and Saphira) travel in search of the hidden Varden, a strong rebel faction which Brom had mentioned on their journey. On the way Eragon has many dreams about an elf, all of which feature her suffering great pain. Ultimately, Eragon is captured and imprisoned in the same prison as where the elf is being held captive. Murtagh and Saphira stage a daring rescue and Eragon escapes with the elf, but this does not happen without incident. Eragon and Murtagh have a face - off with a Shade, one of the most powerful creatures in the land. The fact that a Shade is walking freely in the land lends Eragon to believe that some monstorous plan is afoot and that Galbatorix, the king of Alagaësia, himself a traitor of the dragon riders, has allied himself with the foulest creatures of the land. The new Dragon rider faces many perils on his way to the Varden, specifically the army of Urgals at their heels. Once inside the Varden's fortress, hidden deep within the Beor Mountains, Eragon learns of the pact between the dwarves, the elves and the Varden and how it was that Saphira's egg was magically teleported to the Spine. The group is at last able to rest, but the invasion by the army of Urgals is imminent. An intercepted message from Galbatorix confirms their fears that the king is involved. In a battle that follows, a seemingly endless army of Urgals seem poised to take the fortress, before Eragon destroys the Shade, Durza, that he had recently encountered, but at a price: a terrible wound on his back that leaves him disfigured. The Urgals seem to be lifted from a spell, giving the Varden a chance to rout the Urgals. As the story ends at the close of the battle, we learn that Eragon will soon be sent under the tutelage of the elves in the sequel, Eldest.


Plot Summary for
The Holiday
In Nancy Meyers' The Holiday, a romantic comedy from the director of Something's Gotta Give and What Women Want, two women trade homes only to find that a change of address can change their lives.
Iris (Kate Winslet) is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman. Across the globe, Amanda (Cameron Diaz), realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. Two women who have never met and live 6000 miles apart, find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris' handsome brother Graham (Jude Law) and Iris, with inspiration provided by legendary screenwriter Arthur (Eli Wallach), mends her heart when she meets film composer Miles (Jack Black).
Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz), the owner of a prospering advertising firm that creates movie trailers, lives in Southern California. Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) writes the popular wedding column for London's Daily Telegraph and resides in a charming cottage in the English countryside.
Though Iris and Amanda live 6,000 miles apart, they are in exactly the same place: Just before Christmas, Iris and Amanda decide to take a needed break from the men in their lives (played by Edward Burns and Rufus Sewell) -- and neither is much in the mood for a nostalgic chorus of "Auld Lang Syne."
Amanda, wanting to get out of town for the holidays, stumbles onto an internet site that specializes in home exchanges, and finds Iris' English cottage to be the perfect antidote to her troubles. On impulse, Amanda and Iris agree to crisscross continents and move into each other's homes for two weeks.
Iris lands in Los Angeles on a spectacularly clear day warmed by the gusts of the seasonal Santa Ana winds. Not long after she arrives at Amanda's Brentwood home, she is befriended by Arthur (Eli Wallach), a noted screenwriter from Hollywood's Golden Era, and Miles (Jack Black), a film composer who works with Amanda's exboyfriend.
In England, where it is anything but balmy, Amanda is just settling into the cozy solitude of the snow-covered Rose Hill Cottage, when Iris' handsome brother Graham (Jude Law) comes knocking at the cottage door.
In an unexpected turn of events, both women discover that the best trips are the ones where you leave your baggage behind.


Plot Summary for
Night at the Museum
The hallowed halls of the Natural History Museum are lined with the most amazing things - wild-eyed prehistoric creatures, fierce ancient warriors, long lost tribes, African animals and history's legendary heroes - all frozen forever in time. Or... are they? In the action-adventure-comedy, "Night at the Museum," the brand new night guard at the Natural History Museum is about to discover that when the visitors go home at the end of the day, the real adventure begins - as the museum's stuffed, waxed and well-preserved residents come out to play.
The fantastical adventure kicks off when Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), a down-and-out dreamer whose imaginative ideas have never paid off, finds himself in desperate need of a job. Larry has always believed he was destined for big things. But he has no idea just how literally gargantuan and hairy a challenge he will face when he grudgingly accepts the supposedly menial graveyard shift as a security guard at the Natural History Museum. On his very first night on the job, Larry is handed an over-sized flashlight and a dog-eared instruction manual, then left all alone in the eerily quiet, cavernous museum. At least, he thinks he's alone.
But wait, what's that noise? To his utter astonishment and disbelief, Larry watches in shock and awe as, one by one, the primeval beasts and storied icons that surround him stir magically to life - and total havoc ensues. Now, as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Attila The Hun carve a swath of destruction through the marble corridors, and lions and monkeys prowl the fragile exhibits, Larry is at a loss as to how to get the museum back under control. At his wit's end, Larry must recruit the help of historical heavyweight Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams) just to survive the night. Facing the possibility of losing his job and letting down his son Nick yet again, Larry must wage an incredible battle to save the museum, hoping to become at last the bold, adventurous dad he's always wanted to be. The man who's been forever waiting for his moment of greatness - just found it.

Plot Summary for
The Nativity Story
“One family. One journey. One child who would change the world forever.”
A cinematic journey into the heart of history's greatest story, The Nativity Story is poised to come to the big screen for the first time in a major motion picture event.
New Line Cinema's The Nativity Story chronicles the arduous journey of two people, Mary and Joseph, a miraculous pregnancy, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. The dramatic and compelling film traces the perilous journey of a young couple who must travel from their home in Nazareth to Bethlehem, Joseph's ancestral home, to register for a census ordered by King Herod. It is a journey of over 100 miles, through treacherous terrain, made much more difficult by the fact that Mary is nine months pregnant.
The actual story of the Nativity can be found in the Biblical Gospels of Matthew and Luke. It begins at the end of the intertestament era - the 100 or so years between the time of Judas Maccabeus and the birth of Christ.
The story begins with the King Herod (client king of Judea under Caesar Augustus) and his fear of the Old Testament propechy of the Messiah. Paranoid he will lose his kingdom, he orders the infamous Massacre of the Innocents - the slaughter of all male children under two years old in the city of Bethlehem.
Following the trail of the prophecy, the film then flashes back one year to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem where Zechariah, a pious priest, receives a vision from God instructing him that his wife "will bear him a son and he shall be a prophet, preparing the way for the Lord." As Zechariah's wife Elizabeth is past her child-bearing years, he expresses disbelief and is struck dumb.
Meanwhile, in Nazareth, a town oppressed by the devastating taxation practices of King Herod, a teenage Mary is told by her parents that they have arranged for her to marry Joseph. Distraught by the idea of marrying "a man I hardly know, a man I do not love," Mary takes refuge in an ancient olive grove to collect her thoughts. There, she is visited by the angel Gabriel, who tells her that she has been chosen by God to bear his son and call him Jesus, and that he will be a Saviour for his people. Mary accepts this news, but is overwhelmed by this annunciation and has no idea how to tell her parents.
Back in Jerusalem, King Herod begins to feel threatened as word spreads of a prophecy that a new King will soon arrive. Herod orders his troops to kill anyone who might be this "man of power, this Messiah."
In Persia, another group of men are following the prophecy, but with great excitement. The three Magi - Melchior the scholar, Gaspar the skeptical translator and Balthasar the Ethiopian astronomer - have studied the ancient documents and feel that a celestial event (what we now call a planetary convergence) is about to occur, which will signal the birth of the Messiah. Melchior convinces his comrades to undertake the long journey to Judeah, following the "star."
In Nazareth, Mary, in an effort to understand her situation, goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth, assuring her parents that she will be back for the harvest. Mary is relieved that what Gabriel told her is true: Elizabeth is in the midst of a miraculous pregnancy due to her advanced age. Elizabeth provides Mary encouragement and shares in her joy. Following the birth of John the Baptist, after which Zechariah regains his speech, Mary is emotionally ready to return to Nazareth.
Her homecoming is less than warm: as she climbs off the wagon in Nazareth's town center, her coat slips open and her pregnancy is clearly revealed. She is scorned by the locals and faces a difficult confrontation with Joseph and her parents, who do not believe her: "An angel told you this? That you would bear the Son of God?" The following night, Joseph has a dream in which he is visited by the angel Gabriel, who confirms Mary's story. He tells her he will stand by her, no matter what the others say: "You are my wife. I am your husband. That is all anyone need know." For the first time, Mary starts to realize that Joseph is, as her mother said, "a good man, a strong man."
Shortly thereafter, following a decree from Rome, King Herod orders everyone to return to the town of their birth for a census which he craftily believes will help him find the Messiah. This forces Mary and Joseph to begin a long trek to his birth home of Bethlehem. Crossing treacherous mountain passes, swift-flowing rivers and barren deserts, Joseph walks the entire way, doing everything he can to live up to his promise to Mary's parents: "I will protect your daughter and the child, with all that I am." Mary's appreciation for this man grows stronger with each step.
Mary and Joseph pass through Jerusalem undetected by Herod's soldiers, but the Magi, in their magnificent silk robes and ornamented camels, are spotted by the soldiers and forced to "dine" with the King. He seduces them with a feast and discusses the impending birth. Herod "encourages" them to find the boy, then return to him with news of his whereabouts so he "may worship him as well."
Mary and Joseph reach Bethlehem just as Mary goes into labor, but they find no inn and no room. Eventually, a shepherd lets them use his stable and in this grotto, Jesus is born. At the moment of the birth, the planets align, creating an extremely bright "star" - a celestial event seen by all - including shepherds in the fields, who follow it to Bethlehem and pay homage to the child. The Magi also arrive at the stable, offering gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Melchior is stunned to find this new king born in a stable, instead of a palace, proclaiming "The Greatest of Kings, born in the most humble of places."
Deeply moved, the Magi realize that going back to Herod with this news would be a mistake. Furious that the Magi did not return to him, Herod orders the Massacre of the Innocents. As Herod's soliders charge toward Bethlehem with murderous intent, Gabriel warns Joseph: "Arise, Joseph...take the child." Mary, Joseph and Jesus escape just in time, heading to Egypt...and fulfilling the prophecy."
