Cast: Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner, Dom DeLuise, Jonathan Pryce, Paul L. Smith, Peter Vaughan, Bryan Pringle

  Wilder takes fiancee, Gilda Radner, to his family's country home just before getting married (contrary to the title, there is no honeymoon in this movie). The family estate is inhabited by a werewolf, and Wilder must now fend for his life. Few laughs are found in this failure of a comedy.

Pieces   1983     1 star    N/R, 89 min.
Genre: Horror / Thriller
Director: Juan Piquer Simon  
Cast: Christopher George, Edmund Purdom, Lynda Day George, Paul L. Smith, Frank Brana, Ian Sera, Jack Taylor, Gerard Tichy, Hilda Fuchs, Isabel Luque

  Now here's a REAL slasher film! A chainsaw-wielding killer is cutting his way through a college campus, taking selected body parts from his co-ed victims. The purpose: construct a human jigsaw puzzle. But fear not, the good detective (Chistopher George) is hot on the trail.

Popeye   1980     2 stars    PG, 114 min.
Genre: Family / Comedy / Musical / Romance
Director: Robert Altman  
Cast: Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, Ray Walston, Paul Dooley, Paul L. Smith, Wesley Ivan Hurt, Richard Libertini, Linda Hunt, Donald Moffat, MacIntyre Dixon, Roberta Maxwell, Donovan Scott, Allan F. Nicholls, Bill Irwin, Robert Fortier

  This financially less-than-successful rendition of the cartoon character who is "strong to the finish because he eats his spinach" is still OK, but slow, fare as Robin Williams plays the "human" version of Popeye the sailorman, and Shelley Duvall plays the light of his life, Olive Oyl. Popeye and Olive Oyl get together, and Popeye adopts Swee'pea (Wesley Ivan Hurt), but problems lie ahead with Bluto (Paul L. Smith).

Ten Little Indians   1989     1 star    PG, 98 min.

aka: Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians

Director: Alan Birkinshaw  
Cast: Donald Pleasence, Frank Stallone, Herbert Lom, Sarah Maur Thorp, Brenda Vaccaro, Warren Berlinger, Yehuda Efroni, Paul L. Smith, Neil McCarthy, Moira Lister

  Don't bother with this version of the often-filmed Agatha Christie novel. Incredibly this version is set on an African safari rather than in an eerie mansion. The invited "guests" are killed off one-by-one.
