Dreamworks never ceases to amaze me.
There is a disclaimer prior to the start of the picture that indicates that while some artistic liberties were taken in the making of the film, the overall story is told with primary accuracy to the source material. That was adhered to impressively.
From a non biblical standpoint, looking at the bible through the lens of a "story," there are so many very interesting things that occur that would make many great movies when told. For whatever reason, most film makers don't think the stories are good enough and feel the need to change them to the point of not being recognizable. Dreamworks did not take that approach.
The Prince of Egypt does a great job of explaining the relationship between Ramses and Moses and how they grew together, and the anguish that was felt through the trials and tribulations they were both faced with.
The voice acting was wonderful and the artwork was top notch. Dreamworks hits another home run.

Predictable but good
Contains spoilers, click to show
Jodi is an abnormally tall girl at 6ft 1 and a half. Because of her height she is picked on by her peers at school and meeting guys is a challenge as they feel intimidated by her height,all except her friend Jack who is smitten with her.
One day an exchange student stig joins the school and jodi falls head over heals for this guy, making it her mission to get him to notice her. Only problem is he starts dating her nemesis kimmy who tells jodi to stay away from him in a typical bitch of the school cliche. Of course jodi doesn't stay away and her and stig eventually start hitting it off. Throughout the movie I felt torn between who I wanted jodi to end up with, but at the same it was predictable what the outcome would be from the onset if the movie. I enjoyed the movie though, I thought it was cute.

Hamnet, about a son of a playwright, a twin of a sister, a saviour of a twin. This novel is beautifully written and pulls at the heartstrings. The writing creates atmosphere and suspense. It is well researched. I particularly like the chapter about the journey of the flea, not completely necessary but definitely added to the narrative. I know that this was a particularly good book as now o want to read Hamlet to see of there are any clues into Hamnet's life, or death, or Shakespeare's grief over the loss of his son. I was captured and engrossed from the beginning. I loved the mystery surrounding Agnes, however I feel that her character would have been more of a support of grief rather than to succumb to it. Definitely the best historic fiction that I've read this year. "To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub,
For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.."
For in this sleep of death what dreams may come.."

This is a beautifully told story that built a really interesting, new world with fantastical creatures and blood magic. I did feel a bit lost for about the first half of the book, as I worked out how things worked in this new society. Ordinarily, this wouldn't have bothered me, but so much depends on the way in which this society functions - the expectations of those with magic in their blood, and the restrictions that these expectations bring. I persevered and I'm glad that I did, because once the action gets going and things become clearer, it was actually a good read. It's a book that requires a fair bit of work, and I don't know as there's many readers who would commit that time. This book promises so much, but I think that it fails to deliver.
It appears to be left open for a follow up, but I don't think I will be reading it.

Here we have an 80s horror that looks cheap, has a crappy sound mix, involves questionable acting from all involved, a lot of shots that feel like corners were cut, and a ridiculous premise, and it's pretty damn glorious.
The Stuff is wonderful low budget horror. The practical effects are brilliant, and the dialogue is so damn stupid. It's vintage Larry Cohen in short.
The only actual criticisms I have involves Paul Sorvino's character. Even in an over the top cheese fest such as this, his character is severely out of place, and the general fun of the film takes a bit of a dive when he's introduced, casual racism and all. Also, the ending sort of appears from no where.
Any other criticisms are good-bad criticisms. For example, a lot of the dialogue seems improvised, and it's awkward as fuck, but kind of adds to the overall quirkiness of this insane killer dessert B-Movie.
The Stuff is great. Also looks legit tasty.
