I’ve heard this movie is a “Stinker” with a Capital S with Quotes. Usually they don’t postpone a good movie with great historical value. Usually it’s the odd ones.

I’ve heard from someone who is LDS who saw the movie and it came out looking absurd and contrived. It is unbelievable. Highly unbelievable and that’s why the investment money on this one will go un-recouped.

And, it appears, fewer people are seeing the movie than actually saw Godzilla (not the movie, the actual beast). See here.

And Ebert says?

ZERO stars.

I read this review to my family over dinner tonight. We thought it made some interesting points about religion, and was incredibly well written.

After his illness last year, with so many months of enduring Ebert-less Fridays and having to face the harsh prospect that he might never get back up to speed, it is such a delight to have him back.

(That’s even less starts than he gave Godzilla.)

lamonte,
This is one of the last places you’ll be shunned for watching rated R movies. But I’ll give you “Coming Home” – that’s it.

cj – you obviously missed “Coming Home” in which Voight won the academy award for Best Actor. Yes! It was an R-rated movie and I willingly attended. Thangs have now changed in my life. But it was a great commentary on the current moral.social conflict of the day – VIETNAM! I’m just so amazed that George Bush had the nerve to even mention that conflict in a recent speech about Iraq.

But, on the other hand, Jon Voight has produced some pretty lame performances recently.

Here is the best, most hilarious review you'll read about it. It ends with a short satirical script of the movie's plot line.

Friday’s box office estimates are out, and September Dawn didn’t make the top 10. Expect this movie to disappear soon.

Sorry David. Let me correct myself. Any movie with John Voight is going to be a bust.

Except John Voight doesn’t play JDL. Voight plays a fictional bishop, which the guy that played Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite is JDL.

Seth,
You missed out on a great title opportunity. It should read: September Dawn or September Yawn You’re slippin man.

Btw, I knew the film would be a bust when I saw that John Voight was playing John D. Lee.
