Ahem, allow me to explain. Wakaliwood is an independent film studio in Uganda that makes micro-budget crazy, over-the-top, hilarious action movies. Only two of their movies have made it to the rest of the world so far, Who Killed Captain Alex? and Bad Black, and they are AMAZING!!!!! They have tons of heart and humour that comes all together thanks to Video Joker (VJ) Emmie (In case you don't know what that is, these movies have their own humourous commentary tracks built-in. Think RiffTrax or MST3K.) and just the passion and work that clearly goes into making these movies. They may not have the best equipment or all the skills, or even consistent electricity and clean water, but they still make ridiculously enjoyable movies that anyone can have a good time with! I love them to death and will buy every single release they come out with, even though they have them up for free on YouTube! I just want to support them, the Blu-Ray is actually amazing and you should all go buy it! Crazy World is a very special Wakaliwood movie. It actually premiered at TIFF last year, with VJ Emmie doing live commentary. It was the first time director Nabwana IGG had ever been in a movie theatre. I think it may have been the first Ugandan film to premiere at TIFF as well. It was a historical event! This year, Crazy World had its international premiere via the We Are One International Film Festival on YouTube for all the world to see. Unfortunately it was only up for a week, but you can pre-order the DVD or watch it on-demand if you missed out! This isn't even a movie I can really review, it's just as awesome and hilarious as their other movies, and I'm so happy that they're turning it into their own cinematic universe with recurring characters! I guess you can see how each movie is technically a little bit better than the last movie, but these aren't really the kinds of movies that are meant to be thought about or written about. They're meant to be seen and enjoyed, and I definitely did! I just want to bring more attention to these guys. I love what they do and you should all go watch them too! Go watch some SUPA UGANDAN ACTION MOVIEZ!!!!!!
