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.

Heavy
Clemency- is a heavy hitter meaning the subject of the movie is heavy. Its a sad movie, but also a good movie as well. Alfre Woodard does a excellent job in this film. Her performance is fantasic and phenomenal. Its sad that 1.no one has heard of this film, 2. No one has seen this film and 3. It got no nominations at the oscars.

The plot: Bernadine Williams is a prison warden who, over the years, has been drifting away from her husband while dutifully carrying out executions in a maximum security prison. When she strikes up a unique bond with death-row inmate Anthony Woods, a layer of emotional skin is peeled back, forcing Bernadine to confront the complex-and often contradictory-relationship between good intentions, unrequited desires, and what it means to be sanctioned to kill.

Like i said its a heavy hitter with drama and suspense. Go watch it, its on Hulu.

Odd, dreamy follow-up to Cat People; not really a sequel in the conventional sense at all, barely qualifies as a horror movie, either. Picks up the story a few years later; the couple from the original film are now married with a child, who has a problematically rich fantasy life. Given a 'wishing ring' by a lonely old woman, she wishes for a friend - and what appears to be the ghost of her father's first wife (Irena the Cat Woman) materialises...

Much, much gentler than it might sound; there's virtually no reference to Irena's supposedly cursed blood (she turns into a cat in moments of passion), the 'curse' mentioned in the title is the shadow her death still casts over the family. But here Irena seems entirely benign and the story is about the relationship between parents and a child struggling to fit in. Nicely made and performed, but very hard to categorise.
