Mystery Team is a peculiar but eventually charming comedy; three very immature teenagers run a detective agency out of their front yard and as university age approaches they decide to take a double homicide as their last case. If you can get over how unrealistically pathetic the trio are it is quite funny and as they descend into the local underworld and confront adult situations it becomes more so. The cast is pretty good, most I recognise from one sitcom or another, and it's got enough good lines to keep you laughing.
The Skeptic was ok, not great & certainly not a horror film but it is an interesting take on the old haunted house trope. Some snarky, unfeeling lawyer separates from his wife and moves into his recently deceased Aunt's spooky old house and it's hardly a surprise when he starts getting terrorised by ghostly apparitions and creepy whisperings. After a while he contacts some parapsychology beardie and a sexy psychic who start to investigate the situation. The acting isn't brilliant and it's got made for tv written all over it but I appreciated the denouement.
