Classic tale of a Dead Beat Dad! Daddy, why are you leaving
us? (Says the son), Because God told me to? Oh, that's a new one!
And I suppose I shouldn't wait at the mailbox for a child support check
either! Then I suppose you will come back years later and tell me
unbelievable stories about how you parted a sea and freed Egyptian slaves.
Whatever Dad! How about teaching me how to heard sheep or make a
canteen out of a goats bladder?!?! So you may have heard of this one
before, you got this guy named Moses, he was a chief adviser and warrior for
the Egyptian Pharow. Not knowing his true origin he basked in the riches
of king-hood. His best buddy, the heir to the thrown, is a true ball
buster, soon to banish his BFF after finding out he is not of royal blood.
Moses goes on to speak to God who then releases deadly plagues on the
land. After freeing thousands of slaves, he hides out in a cave to write
some commandments (9 or 10, who can remember those details)? This movie
got pretty bad reviews and honestly I don't know why. It was really good!
The effects were good and it told the Old Testament story rather well
from what I remember. Its pretty long but not to preachy so I say give it
a try, or feel the wrath of giant locusts!!!
FYI: Bale almost didn't get the part because he was still to
fat from his role in American Hustle
