piranha (1995)

"This was for science."
When two teens go missing Maggie McNamara (Alexandra Paul) is engaged to track them down. With the help of a local Paul Grogan (William Katt), they discover Doctor Baines (Darleen Carr) experimental fish hatchery, and unwittingly release killer fish on an unsuspecting world!
Reversion of the original, that tries to make up for a low budget with a a witty script, which it partially achieves, but in the end this is an inferior version, stick with the original, for greater kids in peril thrills.

a lizard in a woman's skin (1971)

aka Una lucertola con la pelle di donna.
"That woman represents to you, degradation...vice."
London in the swinging sixties and Carol Hammond (Florinda Bolkan), is suffering from recurring nightmares involving a neighbour. When the neighbour subsequently turns up dead, with Carol's paper knife in her chest, she becomes an obvious suspect. Could Carol have enacted her dreams in real life, or could it be an intricate plot by her unfaithful husband? It's up to Inspector Corvin (Stanley Baker) to find out.
A fine thriller from Fulci, that creates a foreboding atmosphere, helped in part by the Ennio Morricone score.

the pearl of death (1944)

"Lestrade couldn't even see the stripes on a zebra."
Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) gets involved in a mystery, when a reputedly cursed pearl is stolen. Whilst doing so he comes up against a criminal mastermind and the sinister creeper (Rondo Hatton).
Another in the series of Holmes mysteries from Universal, and one of the most entertaining.

the dark corner (1946)

"The facts are phoney and end in a death sentance."
Upon release from jail, (framed by an ex-partner), Private investigator Bradford Galt (Mark Stevens) moves from the West coast to the East and a change of scene. But far from the easy life he craves, he finds he is in the centre of a plot, and is glad of the help his smart-cookie secretary (Lucille Ball) gives him.
Moody lighting, sassy dames, startlingly brutal violence, and wise-cracking dialogue - all leads to a decent noir.

teen wolf too (1987)

"Strange boy."
A dorky teenager, Todd Howard (Jason Bateman), starts college, with the hope that he too is a werewolf, just like his cousin Scott was before him; as he soon finds himself under pressure to emulate the physical prowess of Scott. Unfortunately he's into science not athletics.
Whilst the Michael J Fox original had its moments, it was never a great film, and was held together by Fox. As this follows the standard law of sequels, being exponentially worse than the previous installment, it is pretty much doomed.
