A movie made by a student of the film academy, and it was made with a ridiculously low budget of course, but still contains some wild special effects and a spaceship and an alien creature and a title song written especially for it. Looks quite a bit outdated (and I wonder if it looked that even then when it was new :)), but still a lot of fun, and even a message about artificial intelligence:
"Dark Star" by John Carpenter
Cocaine Bear (2023) is surprisingly good. You think it's gonna be one of those overly campy movies like Sharknado, but it's pretty well written. I mean, don't expect too much, it's still a very solid 7/10. But the thing it understands best is it actually takes enough time at the beginning of the film to develop extensive cast of weird characters so once they all get thrown into the blender (cocaine bear) you actually care enough about them and what's going on to care about the outcome.
So many movies these days forget you really need to care about those characters.
Fun time, give it a go some night when you're bored and got nothing else to do.
Alien vs. Predator... Lance Henrickson and a cast of nobodies with an intersting plot. I went in expecting full-on crap and got a real banger instead.
There's a B movie that I really like but it's name is off putting to say the least. It's a solid movie, its funny and silly but most of the cast play serious characters just dealing with something absurd. It's a cat and mouse detective story and the film is free to watch on places like Tubi.
It's called Butt Boy
Lars and the Real Girl. Seems like a dumb boner comedy. Actually a weirdly wholesome film.
Dog Soldiers.
It is known as the British Predator. You can see the low budget on the screen, but my god it's excellent. Do not watch the trailer, it's shit and will give you a bad impression of the film.
Man Bites Dog (C'est arrivé près de chez vous)
A mockumentary made by student filmmakers. The plot is that they are doing a documentary following the life of a serial killer.
The dark humor of this movie is incredibly disturbing but it's really a movie to watch.
The movie is available on archive.org : https://archive.org/details/man-bites-dog
I watched Pig just recently almost as a joke. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
