Journey with an ex-seminarian as he fulfill his dreams and search his place in the greater scheme of things on the wings of his dreamCharlton Heston of the Ten Commandments dies at 84
At age 84, Hollywood’s original Moses died at his Beverly Hills Estate battling Alzheimer’s Disease last Saturday (April 5). Evanston Heston III who played Moses in the “Ten Commandments“, The chariot-riding Prince in “Ben-Hur“, and the only man left on earth in “Planet of the Apes” was born October 4th, 1923. He was nominated and won at the Oscars for his epic movie “Ben-Hur” as Best Actor and has made countless movies and TV appearances during his lifetime. I grew up with the ten commandments because we had a tape of the movie at home. We watch it every year during lent. Ten Commandments was one of the greatest movies I’ve seen and no epic movie, even the Lord of the rings has matched the glorious set of the film. Now he has died, Hollywood will surely miss this kingly actor who, even behind the camera, has lived up to its name as the one who emits respect and majesty in his persona. “So let it be written, so let it be done!”.

Bluep, I remember wathcing the 10 commandments in a small movie house in Baguio. May intermission pa nga dahil sa haba ng sine.
It is so sad that a Hollywood legend like Heston has passed away.

the king of the Holy Week TV specials… may he rest in peace. nung novice kami, may pinanood kaming prolife video (VHS pa ang format) tapos sabi ng formator namin, yung matandang mama na nagbigay ng intro ng video eh si Charlton Heston nga. hmmm… katoliko!

Ah yes. Here in our province it is also shown every Holy Week on local tv. I felt really sad because the guy is a very good actor. Last time I saw him on tv was when he guested on “Friends”

Yes he is a Catholic (I think) and bro, did you know that the owner and CEO of Automatic (main company of WordPress) who is Matt Mullenweg is also a Catholic. He has a blog of his own and he sometimes post catholic related entries. I usually go there to read his entries.

Nakupo! matutuwa ang mga anti-fire arm groups niyan. PROGUN kasi yan si Moses. Noong minsan lang pinanuod ko yung planet of the apes na movie nya. Hmm… pagdating niya sa langit… ano kaya ang una niyang gagawin at ano ang sasabihin sa kanya…

Naalala ko pa, yan ang pinanood namin nung bata pa ko, kasama yung yaya kong relihiyosa (o diba, yaya daw — pretensiyosa!).
I will never forget the parting of the red sea.. amazed na amazed ako nun at lagin ko siyang pinapanood tuwing holy week.
tama si mix glorioso – - dahil napanood ko siya sa documentary when he was trying to dodge the question about the NRA … mahilig talaga sa baril yan.. chorva chorva!!
