Already Playing "Analyze This" Billy Crystal plays a psychiatrist who assists a mob boss played by Robert DeNiro. It is supposedly very funny. Rated R.

It didn't earn any awards or make any cah and it flew to the dollar theater pretty darn quick. Rated R. "Prince of Egypt" The story of Moses becomes an animated tale. It held my interest and stayed away from being overly preachy. Let your people go...see this. Rated G.
