Come for the polygamist, stay for the thespians! The story of a Salt Lake City, Utah, man (Bill Paxton) and his multiple wives was a surprisingly sympathetic treatment of religious fundamentalism and a master-class acting showcase.

The result is an honorable and curiously winning film. BREAKING AND ENTERING Anthony Minghella's basic filmmaking impulse is toward the romantic epic...
...served as captain of the United States Under-17 and Under-18 squads, now represents one of the top 22 players under age 20 in the nation, as judged by USA Hockey. His selection was based on his performance in the National Junior Evaluation Camp, held in June in Lake Placid, N.Y., as well as his contributions during the opening stages of Harvard men’s hockey team’s campaign. Through the first 12 games of the Crimson’s season, Fraser has posted five points, good enough for fourth on the team...
