Thursday, September 30, 2004 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: THE MUSICAL  In case you haven't already heard: "Val Kilmer is Moses!" Starring in The Ten Commandments at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, "Kilmer's passive Moses appears to be following the commandment, 'Thou shall not express passion,' since he responds with somnabulistic detachment to every situation, even underplaying in the face of killer plagues and the parting of the Red Sea," writes Variety. "This bland, static, overproduced and underdirected musical," adds the New York Times "all but submerges the famous episodes from Moses' life in an oily sea of pleasant but unremarkable pop music. The lengendary journey unfolds like a long, lumbering fancy-dress episode of American Idol." Those looking for spiritual entertainment on a grand scale would be advised to look elsewhere. # posted by Steve Gallagher @ 9/30/2004 10:26:50 AM Comments (0)
