It’s a bit hard to describe the grandeur of sets like the new “The Ten Commandments” box set.  This thing is massive, contains 6 discs of content (3 BluRays and 3 DVD’s), reproduced materials, and a parting waters box set packaging.  In addition, all 6 discs are housed in a tablet made to look like the pieces of holy rock Moses passed down to the Israelites.  The irony is a tad humorous that the package is so grandiose (given that whole golden calf thing God was so upset about), but completists and film buffs will find this limited edition box sitting comfortably right next to the Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz whose releases were equally massive.

And why not?  This is a “golden age of cinema” kind of a film, the kind they don’t quite make anymore.  Lavish costumes, epic scenes, and classic performances make this set a must have for fans of classic Hollywood epics, one that is 4 hours long.  The 2 disc BluRay and DVD sets are far more modest in their look and packaging, but I digress – let’s talk about what is inside the big box.
