Coming Soon


Well, I was wonderin' what's comin' out this year, so I compiled 
the best of Corona (http://www.islandnet.com/~corona/homepage.html) 
and Eric Carter (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/eric_carter)
and added my own comments.  The dates are as accurate as I could get 
'em and there's only, oh, another hundred films that also belong on 
this list.  Enjoy.
