Science FictionComedyThrillerHorrorMystery

Something sinister has come to the shores of Erin Island, unbeknownst to the quaint population of this sleepy fishing village resting somewhere off Ireland’s coast. First, some fishermen go missing. Then there is the rash of whale carcasses suddenly washing up on the beach. When the murders start, it’s up to two mismatched cops – an irresponsible alcoholic and his new partner, a by-the-book woman from the mainland – to protect the townsfolk from the giant, bloodsucking, tentacled aliens that prey upon them. Their only weapon, they discover, is booze. If they want to survive the creatures’ onslaught, everyone will have to get very, very drunk!

    The two you need to watch:

    - Get the Gringo

    - Grabbers

    The rest:

    - Cloud Atlas was...interesting.

    - Pitch Perfect was the absolute worst, but hilarious. In a similar vein: For a Good Time, Call.

    - Argo and Beast of the Southern Wild are overhyped in my opinion.

    - Life of Pi was great (make sure to read the book at some point).

    - End of Watch was better than advertised.

    - Dark Knight Rises was a solid conclusion to the series.

    - Ted was funny, but doesn't work so well on repeat views.

    - Other movies you should watch: The new Total Recall. Safety Not Guaranteed. Lawless. The Amazing Spiderman (awesome series reboot)
