September Dawn - Tainted Past Of The Mormons

Advantages: Based on a true story - it is extremely unsettling.
Disadvantages: Violent... disturbing images.

God, Jacob Samuelson gives the order to kill the settlers. Devastated by his father?s hatred towards the settlers, Jonathan will do everything in his power to save the woman he loves? Based on a true story that the Mormon?s attempted to stifle and then subsequently denied, the movie takes us back to the fanatical beginnings of the Mormons and their nefarious leader, Brigham Young, and focuses on the September 11th, 1857 slaying of 120 men, women and children by a fanatical group of Mormons. Oddly enough, as compelling as the story is, it was never widely publicised. Although the movie paints an extremely ugly picture of the Mormons and will undoubtedly draw the ire and hatred of a portion of the population, it will only be that portion that already holds a grudge or carries a personal dislike of the religious group. This movie ...

September 11

Advantages: good film
Disadvantages: where do i start?

The arrogance of filmmakers can be staggering sometimes. As the world recoiled from the world?s worst peacetime atrocity, 11 filmmakers were given $400,000o make a short film that lasted 11 minutes, nine seconds and one frame ? and to be honest, the money would be better going to charity. Without Ken Loach?s superb, standout entry, this is self-indulgent tripe. Using the events of another Tuesday September 11 ? this one in 1973, when the CIA helped Chilean dictator General Pinochet to overthrow the elected government and begin his reign of terror ? Loach offers a stunning indictment of America?s double standards. The rest of this compendium, though, varies from the vaguely interesting (Nair), to the pointless (Imamura). And then there?s the plain terrible (Chahine). But this pales next to Sean Penn?s boring folly, the pretentious ...

Come September_Romantic Comedy film

Advantages: Some hilarious jokes
