I like things. Mostly gadgets and talking about myself. Let's face it, if you could be this fucking cool, you'd be me. But you're not, so just sit back and try to keep up.

Hey George Lucas, Cecil B. DeMille is this much better than you…
In a day and age where Hollywood is churning out sequels and Butterball Turkeys with the frequency of Michelle Duggar; it is easy to forget that it was once a magical place where people’s wildest imagination could not come up with the wonders put to film. I would argue that Cecil B. DeMille’s 1956 triumph “The Ten Commandments” was if not the last, the best example of the majesty that Hollywood is capable of. It had a beautiful score, cast of thousands, and a story as old as time itself. The costumes, sets, and scenery were woven together in a way that truly made “believers” out of some at that time. It pushed the boundaries of special effects, yet did not rely on them as a gimmick…
I had the chance to view the 50th Anniversary Edition of this film and thought I would put keyboard to web to review the film from a new generation’s perspective. As old as the film is, it will also be an opportunity to review the restoration and see how it holds up to the: modern day, digitally filmed, High Def features of today.
Look for my epic review soon…
