Two quick reviews this Saturday night ... it's sad that summer's going so quickly, but there's a terrific Fall coming for genre titles.

Paramount's Goin' South is a comedy starring and directed by Jack Nicholson. It has one of the funniest opening scenes ever, and introduces both Mary Steenburgen and John Belushi to the big screen.

Goldhil's Korean War in Color is disappointingly amateurish as a docu, but terrific as a resource for authentic combat footage. Lots of interesting extras too.

There'll be some fun reviews in the coming days - the Columbia horror films from August are already here, and I'll be spinning them up shortly. I'm also excited by the films expected in the next months from Criterion. Finally, I've gotten some peeks at MGM's Fall product, and have liked the bits I've seen of the Poe double features. See you in a couple of days! Glenn Erickson
