Director Robert Dornhelm is painfully aware that there may be a large audience out there eagerly waiting to hate his new version of "The Ten Commandments," premiering Monday and Tuesday on ABC. After all, the story of Moses leading the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt has been told before, and unforgettably, by Hollywood showman Cecil B. DeMille in his ultralavish 1956 production starring Charlton Heston as Moses. Adapted from a variety of religious novels, that earlier version introduced a number of extraneous characters and story lines to the biblical account, yet a fair number of fans today regard DeMille's epic with near-reverence.

Opening today DARK WATER" -- A mother and daughter, still wounded from a bitter custody dispute, hole up in a run-down apartment building and are targeted by the ghost of former resident. With Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, Tim Roth and Dougray Scott. Directed by Walter Salles. (PG-13, for mature thematic material, frightening sequences, disturbing images and brief language.)
The opening narration of ABC-TV's dreadful miniseries, "The Ten Commandments," informs us that Moses' name is revered by Jews, Muslims and Christians. The problem is that "The 10 Commandments" is all about Moses' journey. The suffering and misery of generation after generation of Hebrews is important only insomuch as it fuels Moses' sense of injustice and destiny, and gives him the spunk to accept God's directive. As portrayed by Dougray Scott, Moses is a brooding loner who isn't enamored of God's instructions but really doesn't like being second-guessed by his charges.
HITMAN -- * -- Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko; rated R (violence, gore, profanity, nudity, torture, drugs, vulgarity, brief sex); Carmike 12 and Ritz 15; Century Sandy and South Salt Lake; Cinemark Jordan Landing; Megaplex District, Gateway and Jordan Commons Hitman" was based on a video game, which tells you everything to know about this film. Well, that and the fact that it was originally conceived as a vehicle for Vin Diesel.
Dark Water" is pretty effective as a psychological thriller/ horror film, but it has a small problem. It's really three movies in one, none of which plays very well with the others. The first, and best, is something along the lines of Roman Polanski's 1965 "Repulsion." It concerns a possibly psychologically disturbed woman named Dahlia (Jennifer Connelly), whose repressed childhood traumas and nasty ongoing custody battle with her ex- husband (Dougray Scott) over their daughter, Ceci (Ariel Gade), cause her to have terrifyingly real visions involving demonic plumbing fixtures and floods of Coca-Cola-colored water in the grim apartment building she has just moved into on New York's Roosevelt Island. A Roosevelt Island, by the way, that seems to be situated not in the East River, but in ...
Enigma" (2001) -- Here's a real puzzle. How does a great British spy thriller produced by Mick Jagger and Lorne Michaels, starring Dougray Scott (Susan's dashing English beau in "Desperate Housewives") and Titanic starlet Kate Winslet never reach a theater near you?
Questions for the Movie Answer Man: I just rented the excellent John Malkovich-Dougray Scott thriller "Ripley's Game" and my question is, why didn't this ever show up in theaters? It's riveting, and the performances are brilliant. It's one thing for something awful to be relegated to video shelves, but this is a fine film featuring an Oscar-worthy turn by Malkovich that earned a lengthy write-up in The New Yorker. It's the kind of class act that deserves a late-year Oscar run, not a quick turn onto the Blockbuster rack.
A couple of caveats on the list that follows. It is not complete, but it is fairly comprehensive. Some smaller films may not open when they are slated to or at all, although the dates for big-budget films like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" or "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" are carved in stone. And, conversely, a few films may open unexpectedly.
...There Be Dragons: A journalist (Dougray Scott) visits Spain to research a book about Josem...
The last time we took any note of Roland Joffe, the director of "The Mission" and "The Killing Fields," it was through his take on the ugly genre "torture porn" titled "Captivity" back in 2007. To be fair, he followed that up with the lesbian murder mystery "You and I," which even fewer people saw. He's back in theaters and back in the world of period pieces with "There Be Dragons," a Spanish Civil War tale that tells the story of the controversial founder of the Catholic Opus Dei organization. It's an odd but ambitious choice and a muddled and unsatisfying film -- "Doctor Zhivago" without the majesty, "Reds" without the passion or romance.
