IT'S A CASE of 'heads or tails' this weekend to decide which movie to go and see in Windhoek - all of them films which have generated· excellent box office profits and reviews. And let's be honest, it's not often that we have such a unique situation of choices, choices, choices. FAST FORWARD is the movie billed at Kine 300, a new film from the talents of director Sidney Poitier. John Scott Clough stars in this story of eight small-town teenagers from Sandusky, Ohio, who have big­ time dreams and who leave home to go to New York to compete in a national talent contest.
