OK …
It’s early January, 2013.
You can tell that from the date I’ve posted, can’t you … ?
And frankly … ?
Frankly, I have to admit to spending some of my Christmas loot: or iTunes card, at any rate.
If you’d not already worked out — from the poster — that I’ve spent some of it on the 2012 film, Grabbers, then I’ll have to be blunt, won’t I … ?
I rented Grabbers.
Hmmm …
I think I’m going to hit the sack, and finish this, tomorrow.
I’m starting to wander … !

Yes … I think I can say I feel a little better for that.
At least, better enough that I managed to spot the obvious typing errors.
And take a deep breathe, so I can tell you about … Grabbers …
Set on an obscure island off the west coast of Ireland*, Grabbers sees Richard Coyle as Garda Ciarán O’Shea: an Irish policeman who’s got a taste for a pint or two.
And one who’s joined at his small — and very rural — station by Garda Lisa Nolan (Ruth Bradley) an up-and-coming young officer who’s not only teetotal, but seriously prim and proper.
The odd-couple officers are forced to start working together when one of the locals finds what he dubs a grabber, and takes it along to a local scientist, played by Russell Tovey.
A scientist who’s ALREADY trying to work out what’s happening to the pilot whales that are washing up on the local beaches.
As it turns out … ?
The creatures that did that to the whales are — quite literally — after blood.
And …
Well …
It turns out that’s actually a good excuse for a beer …
~≈Ê≈~
Now … ?
Was Grabbers any good … ?
Well, I thought so.
Granted, Grabbers isn’t going to grab any awards in the ‘Big Budget’ category.
But it is a very entertaining little romp of a film.
A romp …
With a big heart, better tentacle …
And a shed-load of old fashioned Irish hospitality.
We might want to have a word with the locals about that …
* Almost … !
