Selkie

2000

Johnny Moronic's commments:

Selkie is a 2000 family movie where a teenage boy starts to develop features that make him more animal than humans normally are. When the family moves to a remote island for her mother's new job, he finds out what he is turning into when he goes to save a girl who falls off the jetty. Turns out he's part seal and that he's actually a selkie. But he doesn't want to be a selkie and goes about trying to find out how to stop this from happening with his grandfather. Meanwhile, his mother is tracking dolphins but the trackers are going missing. After he helps a selkie trapped as a human he becomes closer to becoming just human but time is running out. OK movie, nothing special but not that bad.

Interestingly, there's a very brief nude scene in Selkie when the female selkie transforms despite the movie being a PG family movie. I recorded it off a recent SBS movies showing which will probably be highest quality it'll ever be seen.

Narcosys

2000

Johnny comments:

Narcosys is a 2000 cyberpunk thriller set in 2018 where a gang of crims rob chemical plants for drugs because the drugs there are pure and haven't been infected with a virus used to thin out the ever increasing drug addicted population. One of the gang has been forced to go undercover in the gang and films their exploits. But after robbing the last chemical plant in the area, they decide to go for one last big score. The leader of the gang gets pissy with the rest of the gang and steals their credits and drugs then he finds out that one of gang is undercover, so he decides to kill them. Also, a low rung factory worker is injected with something which may kill him or make him superhuman.

Boring plot for a cyberpunk movie and the low budget strikes again with no action robberies and a movie that seems to have been padded out to feature length as some scenes go on forever and no idea what the point of the factory worker is or what happens to him in the end. Very much influenced by The Matrix but with little of the interest of that movie.
