This film deals with the early years of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), and more particularly with the life of Brigham Young. It is an accurate portrayal of his life from the time he met Joseph Smith (Richard Moll), through his leadership during the trek westward, and finishes with his last years of life as the President of the LDS Church. In these politically-correct times, many may be offended by the film's depiction of polygamy, but the subject is handled in a forthright and tasteful manner. The film also delves into some of the more profound beliefs and doctrine of the church, without resorting to sermonizing or a preachy tone. No apologies are made- only the portrayal of pioneer life among the Mormons, a "peculiar" people (by some people's standards), with a fascinating story that has yet to be told fully on the big screen.

This is good introduction to LDS Church history, albeit one of only two that exist in world of feature films.

What a way to go! This morality play about the dangers of greed and vanity leaves an indelible stamp on the minds of all who see it. The story follows a man through "death" (the end of his old life), "rebirth" (the newly redesigned man), and his ultimate fate. The last 20 minutes of this film could give Blair Witch a run for its money. The crowning horror in this film, though, is reserved for the last five minutes. I often wonder how Rock felt about acting in this film. It must have had some effect on him.

This movie is a damning indictment of modern society, as far as the worship of youth and beauty go.

This has got to be one of the best murder mystery films ever made. Adapted from an Agatha Christie novel, it is by turns funny and suspenseful. What makes it more fun is that this film does not end the same way the book did (thank goodness!) It will keep you guessing until the last two or three minutes of the film. The performances by Houston and Fitzgerald are a treat, and the rest of the cast is sterling. Just when you think you know what's going on, Dame Agatha throws another wicked curve your way. Amateur sleuths, put on your thinking caps and see if you can figure this one out before it's too late! This is a great film!
