Subject: WorldFest Houston: please review these movies
Organization: Ministry of Information, William's Marsh
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 1992 22:11:42 GMT

Below is a list of movies to be shown this year at WorldFest Houston.
I am posting it to the net at large because I'm hoping some of you out
there can help me decide which films to see.  The festival schedule in
the newspaper includes capsule summaries of the movies, but no real
indication of which ones are any good, and past experience tells me
that the festival organizers include some real turkeys with the gems.
I know what a few of these movies are (the ones forming the Martin
Landau Retrospective [I kid you not!], for instance), but most of them
are quite obscure.

If you have seen any of these movies (except for the obvious ones),
please post and/or mail to me what you thought about them.  If you post
to Usenet, please edit the header line to reflect the movie(s) you
discuss, but please leave the words "WorldFest Houston" so I can find
your articles.  Thanks!

Houstonians, you can get more info by calling WorldFest at (713)
965-9955, or look in the April 12th Houston Chronicle "Zest" section.
See you at the movies.
