Who Killed Captain Alex? (2010)
Unique
The only film I have ever seen with a video MC keeping the excitement levels up. It was the video equivalent of a classic drum and bass track. The acting was not important. The storyline might have been important, but the MC kept shouting over the top. This may have changed it from a drama filled action flick to a more comedic action movie, but maybe that is the point. It was made on a shoestring budget so the props and special effects are pretty poor, but this adds to the charm of it all. The main conundrum of who actually killed captain Alex is pretty incidental to the chaotic, partially unscripted film
Overall it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Which I'm taking as a good thing.
WolfCop (2014)
An unexpected gem
Wolfcop review
For a film with the title WolfCop and that has boobs on display in the first 3 minutes, it became a surprisingly bleak first half. The story of an alcoholic cop, and starring an actor I'd actually seen in a film before (Not as the WolfCop itself though), it got me invested in the despair of the run-down crime-ridden town. The first transformation from Lou Garrou into Wolfcop was sudden, effective an phallic, and the film took a shift from grim and dark into some B-movie style awesomeness with bad jokes (he's 'the fuzz'), faces being ripped off, and a whole lot of cleaning up town. The ending went in an unexpected direction, with a Grimm fairytale sex scene, a whole lot of oddness and a good old fashioned gunfight (and wolf bite) ending. An unforeseen gem of a movie, roll on WolfCop 2.
"Lou, your a wolf!" (growls) "Cop!"
