The Plot:
Bonnie & Clyde is a musical with music by Frank Wildhorn, lyrics by Don Black and a book by Ivan Menchell. The world premiere took place in San Diego, California in November 2009. The musical centers on Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, the ill-fated lovers and outlaws whose story has been infamous since they achieved folk hero status during the Great Depression. Wildhorn described the music as a "non-traditional score, combining rockabilly, blues and gospel music." The San Diego run was followed by a Sarasota, Florida, engagement in 2010 and on to Broady way for only 30 performances.
The real question is, how did this fiasco get to Broadway? It's HORRIBLE. Basically a pretty minimal set that doesn't change and actors coming in and out to sing their really bad songs.
It's a total bore with no drama or action.

The Plot:
A man (Thurston Briggs) makes a bet on a mini-golf game but is convinced he has no shot at winning until his friend (Spencer Williams) says he has a way to rig it where the ball will go in the hole each time without an issue.
Another reviewer wrongly says that Spencer Williams was Andy from Amos & Andy in the 30's and 40's. He wasn't. Amos and Andy in on the radio were played by white guys who would be in blackface when they did live events!
When the series moved to television in the 1950's Spencer played the Andy character.
Anyway, this is an interesting movie although not all that great. It's more of a period piece from a time gone by. Capably directed and acted, but not much there.

The Plot:
The film investigates how Disney promotes social causes and sexuality in kids' content. It features analysis by experts on the politics of the formerly family-friendly brand and the effects on children.
What a great unbiased documentary. When I was kid, Disney products were those parents could trust. Whether on TV, in the movies or at the theme parks.
Today it's a corporation of groomers and agenda pushing people. Walt would be spinning in his grave.
Disney parks have disintegrated too. There was a day when people who dressed proclitically weren't allowed in the park. Now if you complain about the inappropriates at the park they will ban YOU.
This is truly a great, revealing, documentary. A must see for anyone who wants the truth!!!
