Bill Clinton: Rock & Roll President (1997)
Anyone know the plot? (IMDB has nothing)
Is it just a documentary about Bill Clinton's musical talents or something else?
It is basically just a concert piece showing the guy blowing sax with some musicians. A little social commentary about music. Nothing sexual at all. . .

Fort Apache.
Someone's presumably been watching IMBD rather than the film.
2 reviews out of the 6 refer to it being about Custer's Last Stand
It isn't
The story of Fonda's charactor and his path to self destruction for both himself and the men under his command at the hands of the Apache is presumably an allegory for Custer's own demise.
But it's allegorical, that's as far as it goes, with Thursday's journey mirroring Custer's. It may not even be that, it could just be a cracking good story of how one mans hubris leads to disaster.
Unless John Ford himself specifically said he was 'doing a Custer' when he made the film and I've missed the point completely. I'm prepared to stand corrected

Think I did my "pokerarsed" review around the time that 'Pokernose'
was blowing.

Actually, the two reviews that mention Custer - including mine - both make reference to the fact that the film is a work of fiction based on Custer's "last stand." Mine says that quite literally, while the other review makes a more subtle reference to it. But both reviews are quite correct.

There are several reviews for Kinsey that refer to him as a shrink. Kinsey wasn't a psychologist or psychiatrist, he was a biologist.

"Hand goes bad, AMPUTATE!!!"
The above review is listed in Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3) when it should be in Evil Dead II, as that's when the amputation occurred.
Also, someone already used my "Ashes, Two Ashes" idea, dammit!  Whenever that happens, they automatically get a vote... "Bastard!" *click*

sbudgie's review for Strictly Ballroom is a play on words, which is fine, but it's a long long stretch to suggest that Perth and Melbourne are easily mistaken for one another because they are both Australian cities. I know why Perth was used in the review (similar to 'Paris') but unfortunately the review is pretty inaccurate. Sorry widowmaker.

It's a fair cop  I'll admit to being a bit dubious about it when I originally submitted it.

There are a bunch of reviews for Pitch Black that refer to Vin Diesel as blind.
I don't know where that idea came from, if anything he's the opposite of blind. He's supersensitive to light which is why he wears sunglasses in the day and can see fine in darkness.
It's interesting that nobody made the same mistake for The Chronicles of Riddick.
