What film did you watch last night?

[wiggydiggy]

Last night I opted for a film that touches on many of todays subjects:

Integration of humans into animal habitats.
Brotherhood amongst a team of armed servicemen.
A brief history into why super glue was invented.
Some of the affects the full moon has upon the Earth and it's inhabitants 🐶
The truth behind some folklore.

It also has some stunning views of scenery and wildlife, that could only have been bettered if David Attenborough had voiced over it...

"Here, in a remote part of Scotland, a pack of werewolves are hunting a team of soldiers who were lured into the area as bate.
Watch how the alpha male is nibbling it's prey's neck, you can almost hear it mumble 'nom nom'."

I present to you...Dog Soldiers 👌

Greatest film that never got a sequel, a prequel of Sean Pertwee's squad going in first might be even better.

Prequal or sequel would be great, if done correctly, maybe telling the story of how a pack of werewolves came to be in that remote Scottish area.
We have many films telling varying origin stories of how Dracula came to be, but not many, if any regarding lycans. Can't remember if this addressed in one of the Underworld films.

Like a sort of -

Where wolves?

There wolves.

- kind of film?

Absolutely not (for me anyway). The mystery is one of the things that makes it so effective.

Last night I watched a film that followed a couple of scientists who end up in another worldly place and soon encounter an animal though to be extinct for many millions of years, namely a t-rex!
The plot unravels where the scientists must find a way home (while not being gobbled up by the big ol' dino) but in a twist get roped in to saving an imprisoned creature / humanoid who, thankfully for the audience, speaks perfect English.
There are twists and turns along the way, and some good humour to boot, although there is no consumption of a guy hiding on the toilet by the t-rex in the one.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Sleestaks of all ages, I give to you...

Land of the Lost 🦖

The Salt Path

A rare visit to the picture house for me, and as it was a wet Thursday afternoon there was only the 2 of us in the viewing lol.

Great film about a couples journey in the immediate aftermath of a terminal illness diagnosis, and becoming homeless. Cinematography is amazing as we take the South West Path known as The Salt Path.

If you don't know the story, as it's based on a book, don't look it up and just enjoy the journey.

9/10

The Racer (Coureur) on Amazon Prime. An uncompromisingly grim account of a young Belgian rider trying to turn pro in Italy. Graphic performance enhancing drug taking scenes galore...

I was thinking that it rang true and then I discovered that the filmmaker based it on his own experiences!

NB If you are sensitive to flashing lights be warned - there are clubbing scenes in the last few minutes with intense strobe lighting.
