PROBLEM: Pornographic trash . Think this is a 'fun' sampler of B movies? Think again. Contains offensive pornography. Not terribly sexually explicit but full of violent and degrading situations. I feel guilty giving it 1 star, but that was the lowest rating available

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Watch it with Gettysburg . I'm not a Civil War expert, but having recently visited Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, I paid very close attention to the history told me by the guides as well as the books I read. When I came home I watched both Gettysburg and Gods and Generals again, and I must say, the events of these important battles come to life in these DVDs. Yes, there's always going to be some interpretation done, but overall I thought the acting was well done and the information reliable. The characters were well developed, as I felt that I got a chance to really know what these men were like. If you want to see history, then I would recommend this and Gettysburg as well

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: So Many Great Songs! . I saw "Annie Get Your Gun" again this weekend live on stage. I had forgotten just how many great songs Irving Berlin wrote for this masterpiece! --"You Can't Get A Man With A Gun", "The Girl That I Marry", "Doin' What Comes Naturally," "Anything You Can Do I can do better," "They Say falling in love is Wonderful," "I Got the Sun in the Morning and the Moon at Night," and the classic anthem "There's No Business Like Show Business."If you haven't seen or heard this musical, please do yourself a favor and get this film on tape or DVD. Afterthoughts: I just read several negative reviews about Betty Hutton's portrayal of Annie Oakley. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. DO NOT EVEN READ THEM! Some people are "the glass is half empty" type of people and negativity is contagious! Betty Hutton's portrayal was, of course, probably directed by the director of the film. So it is "the director's portrayal"; the director is responsible for what Betty Hutton did on screen. And, this is not meant to be a "realistic" portrayal of a "real" person anyway---no one alive remembers what Annie Oakley was really like. So the portrayal by Betty Hutton (as directed by her director) is as good a "shot at it" as any other---including Judy Garland's portrayal. So, I suggest you just accept Betty Huttons portrayal as "one among many possible" and enjoy what the portrayal does have---alot of comedic verve and vivacity! Yes, "the glass is half full"..and even more than half.... in this case. And then there are some reviewers who criticize the show because Annie pretends to be a poorer shot than Frank near the end to "get her man" by letting him win and thus showing his "shooting prowess" some respect to make him feel better. I suppose for some people it is "politically incorrect" to "play the male ego game". But, isn't "playing the male ego game" what it takes sometimes to "get the man you want?" So, wasn't Annie in the play just being "realistic"? Isn't criticizing this aspect of the play "nit-picking". Ask yourself, could you even come close to writing a "masterpiece" like the musical, "Annie Get Your Gun"? If you couldn't do it, then what gives you the right to "nit pic" the show? And the Indian issue. Some people feel Indians were disrespected in the show. But, the show I saw has Chief Sitting Bull portrayed as giving good advice to Annie and being an intelligent person. In my opinion, whichever way the Indians were portrayed in the movie doesn't change anything about all the positive aspects of the show. My suggestion is to forget about all the nit-picking and ENJOY THE SHOW! And there's alot to enjoy! :o) Email Boland7214@aol.c
