A Haunting In Venice
Kenneth Brannagh is back as Hercule Poirot and is happily retired in Venice but has a queue outside his residence (His Bodyguard is quite funny in the opening sequence) but when a Author played by Tina Fey tempts him into investigating a mysterious death which has hauntings and during a Séance, other happenings occur.
TBH, I wasn't expecting much from this one but I gave it a go and it's actually not all that bad, it certainly kept my attention. Apparently this one is flopping and it's quite similar to the Narnia Movies, everybody was interested by the 1st Movie in the series but not the others.
Runaway
1984 Movie set in the future where Robots can get out of control and it's up to section of the Police Department to deal with them. Tom Selleck investigates a series of Murders which leads to a rather sinister looking Gene Simmons. Kirstie Alley has a small role as well as G.W. Bailey (Who I always see as Captain Harris) and Cynthia Rhodes. An entertaining watch.
TC2000
Set in the future where the elite live underground and the less well off are left to live above ground, Billy Blanks is part of the Security Force that protects the underground residents from gangs wanting to take over. When his partner is killed and turned into a Cyborg, he has to stop the destruction of above ground. Bolo Yeung and Matthias Hues co-star in a Film which is my sort of Film but wasn't executed as well as others I've seen.
Razor Eaters
A Gang gains fame and notoriety by torturing and killing as well as filming their crimes. A Detective with an agenda tries to stop them. Based loosely on an actual gang, this is much better than it had a right to be. What judging by the DVD cover what looked liked a cheap and nasty Film turned into a well acted, decent F/X pleasant surprise.
