Editorial DVD Review
[Top]
Joseph King of Dreams is a direct-to-video sequel advertised as from the makers of The Prince of Egypt, a labelling that might inspire trepidation in the viewer. Happily, the makers of Joseph leave Moses alone & tell the tale of another Bible star, Joseph, known for his coat of many colours & a fantastic destiny. Joseph , his fathers favourite son, is sold into slavery by his jealous half-brothers. After years of struggle, Joseph rises to be the Pharaohs trusted adviser when his gift for interpreting dreams pays dividends. The 78-minute feature is rich in colour & features several strong songs written by newcomer John Bucchino. The films religious elements are secondary, yet its heart is in the right spot, a most agreeable stance for a wider audience. Prince was designed as an event movie & suffered in the hype & marketing. With lower aims, Joseph is a more satisfying film & even invites the unexpected: were ready for the next sequel.

Afflecks most recent films, including Gigli, Paycheck, Jersey Girl & Surviving Christmas have been box office bombs. In 2002 it was announced that he was engaged to actress/singer Jennifer Lopez & the relationship between the two received an extremely ham-handed treatment by the entertainment media.
