This is the one in which Berie Wooster is duped/blackmailed by his 'good and deserving' Aunt Dahlia into travelling and staying at Totleigh Towers, all in pursuit of an 18th century Cow-creamer that she wants her husband to sucessfully purchase (for reasons that are to complicated to go into here), and that sees Bertie's friends Gussie Fink-Nottle, the rev Harold 'stinker' Pinker fall into and out of favour with their respective (and prospective) other half's - one of whom (Madeline Bassett) believes Bertie Wooster to be madly and deeply in love with her.
Throw in the would-be fascist Dictator Roderick Spode, and the fact that Sir Watkyn Bassett (who owns Totleigh Towers) believes Bertie Wooster to be a kleptomaniac, and we have all the necessary ingredients for another convoluted set of scenarios, which only Jeeves is able to unravel to everybody's satisfaction.

Bloodrayne is about- In 18th-century Romania, after spending much of her life in a traveling circus, human-vampire hybrid Rayne (Kristanna Loken) escapes and plots to take down her evil vampire father, Kagan (Ben Kingsley). When she's discovered by three vampire hunters, Vladimir (Michael Madsen), Katarin (Michelle Rodriguez) and Sebastian (Matt Davis), she manages to convince them to spare her life and join her cause. But slaying a vampire as powerful as Kagan will be no easy task.
The cast is wasted on this film. Im not sure why they signed up for this movie in the first place, but their did.
Its a god awful movie that no one, i mean no one should suffer through.
