THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Charlton Heston
Supporting Cast: Ramses: Yul Brynner. Nefretiri: Anne Baxter. Dathan: Edward G. Robinson. Sephora: Yvonne DeCarlo. Lilia: Debra Paget. 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 version 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 budget-straining Egyptian edifices and none of the credulity-straining dialogue ("Oh Moses! Moses! You stubborn, splendid, adorable [oc!]") 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 struggles to declare to his people that he is their Deliverer, someone yells, "Speak up!" No one ever had to say that to Heston.

1418. JOSEPH; 4/16/95
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 intriguingly mysterious and menacing. 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 Commandments." My score: 8
