10 Commandments re-released (the ones by De Mille) for 55th anniversary with new features
Paramount released the 55th anniversary edition of “The Ten Commandments” in DVD and Blu-ray today. For my capsule review click here and scroll down.
Did you know that Charlton Heston’s son Fraser played the baby Moses? Son Fraser narrates the new documentary included in the new release – and says he was born just in time to play this key role!
Here’s an interview with Fraser by James Plath Fraser Heston talks about the making of The Ten Commandments
As one of the best movies ever made, if this film is not in your DVD collection, it would make a nice gift for the family.
What I enjoyed was learning how much of the film was shot on location in Egypt – I thought it was all on a sound stage or in the Mojave.

Religious Education Congress 2011: A vibrant human mosaic
ANAHEIM, CALIF. — Ask anyone who participated in the Religious Education Congress March 17-20 how they would describe the event in terms of art, and they will tell you: It’s the people. Ask author/speaker Jesuit Fr. James Martin and he will tell you that the congress — not Disneyland across the street — is the happiest place on earth.
Charity Sr. Edith Prendergast, who heads the Los Angeles archdiocese’s Office for Religious Education, told me that she loves the congress for its poetry and beauty. “It is an authentic expression of the life of the church and people come to be enriched.”
At the opening ceremony, people from various cultures and costumes processed in the arena that holds 6,000; there was a lovely liturgical dance, and the music and singing engaged everyone. Prendergast presented our new archbishop, José H. Gomez, “the chief catechist of the archdiocese,” with the illuminated Gospels and Acts of the Apostles from the St. John’s Bible from Liturgical Press. After Gomez opened the congress in prayer, he introduced Prendergast. When she got to the lectern to give her presentation, she said, “You will hear from the archbishop later.” Then she paused and turned back to the archbishop and said, “That is, if it’s OK with you.” It brought down the house.

The Rite premieres at the Vatican
Sir Anthony Hopkins as the exorcist in The Rite that premiered at the Vatican last night.
It is so exciting that The Rite premiered at the Vatican! I think it is only the second film to ever do so (the first was The Nativity in 2006). Click on the link and you go to Vatican Radio for the news report and you can hear the broadcast.
Congratulations. This is a wonderful film for Lent.
