Joshua: John Derek.
Ben Kingsley takes on Charlton Heston as
TNT's latest entry in its "Bible Story" series
goes head-to-head with Cecil B. DeMille's
1956 blockbuster. "Moses" is a downsized
epic for the '90s. It's shorter than DeMille's ver-
sion of the Exodus (four hours over two nights,
vs. four hours and 40 minutes in one night).
The cast numbers in the dozens (DeMille
used some 25,000 extras). In fact, director
Roger Young's 1996 made-for-cable film is
almost austere, with none of DeMille's bud-
get-straining Egyptian edifices and none of
the credulity-straining dialogue ("Oh Moses!
Moses! You stubborn, splendid, adorable
fool!") that has earned "Commandments" its
reputation as a camp classic. But the biggest
difference is Moses himself. Heston's is a
bold, bombastic baritone with a beatific glow.
But in the Bible (Exodus 4:10), a humble
Moses concedes: "I am slow of speech and of
a slow tongue." And that's how Kingsley plays
him. His Moses stammers and when he strug-
gles to declare to his people that he is their
Deliverer, someone yells, "Speak up!" No one
ever had to say that to Heston.

w/Ben Kingsley, Martin Landau,
Paul Mercurio & Leslie Ann Warren.
Joseph (Sun., Mon., TNT)
—It has taken them most
of the Book of Genesis,
but TNT's Bible storytellers
are finally getting the hang
of it. This movie, the third
in a series on Hebrew
patriarchs, is epic in length
(it's a two-parter), but it
doesn't drag. Director
Roger Young ("Geronimo")
makes Egypt look intrigu-
ingly mysterious and men-
acing. And the cast (Paul
Mercurio, Ben Kingsley,
and Martin Landau star)
is terrific. Even Lesley
Ann Warren's tacky turn
as Joseph's temptress is
a hoot for those of us with
fond memories of Anne
Baxter in "The Ten Com-
mandments." My score: 8
