Never Talk to Strainers
(Rebecca DeMornay, Julio Iglesias, Audie Murphy)
When a jaded juice-factory worker named Peg (Rebecca DeMornay) meets Timmy, a mechanic with a past, sparkplugs fly. They fall in love but Timmy canÕt forget the bad fruit he got from a juice factory worker in the past.
Their blossoming relationship is further jeopardised when a rabid encyclopedia saleswoman starts to stalk them and nail bloody pages from Volume II on their front doors. In a surprise ending, Timmy discovers the awful truth about why he had been warned to never to talk to strainers.

The Net (Pulling Seine)
This role was originally intended to be Brian Lara’s screen debut, but due to contractual commitments with a Kenyan County Cricket side, he regretfully turned it down.
Bill(of the original Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey and Maverick Fame) Bixby bit into this part and almost shook it loose.
“Sliding into and out of this character was easy in this movie” quipped Bixby about co-star Pam Anderson-Lee.
Essentially the story of two young lovers caught by Maracas fishermen when they wouldn’t move their bucket of pelau, the plot takes us from Tokyo sidestreets to the teeming jungles of Barrackpore.
The Net stars Al Dente, Sandra Bullock and Shaquille O’Neil; Co-stars Toni Braxton and Vanity were not paid.

Blue Devil In a White Dress
In his big screen debut as Evita, Mervyn Degoes plays a transvestite jab-jab in this rousing jÕouvert comedy. There’s baby oil everywhere in the climactic scene where Evita buys doubles from an undercover hairdresser in Sangre Grande, making it one of the funniest drag performances since Glen Close in Sunset Boulevard.

Wat ah World
A story about the struggle of ghetto youths as they try to get their point across to the unrelenting police.
The heat of the summer drives Bill (Pat Reily), Biff (Martin Sheen) and Carry (Lawrence Olivier) to the only fire hydrant on the block. The action starts when city cops Aldon (Michelle Pfieffer) and Sandra (Sandra Bullock), get wet while passing in their Sunday evening best.
They return the next morning in their regular clothes, and after an altercation, Biff gets shot.
The action moves very fast and Sandra has the best lines. This is really a promo flick for the assistant art director (Ché Lovelace) and he does remarkable work with the 87th St. Fire Hydrant (the water looks as though it’s real!).
The only problem I have with this movie is that after the opening credits went up, I should have used that opportunity to go home.
Wat ah world is going soon.
