What do you get if you cross a lion's roar with the hiss of a snake ... well, apparently the menacing whoosh of a torpedo speeding through the ocean. (That's how they achieved it for the sound track, we were told.)
The cinema ladies - that's me and my friend J - do occasionally venture out of our comfort zone and last night (with resignation rather than enthusiasm on J's part, I admit) we decided on this French submarine thriller ... 
It was very exciting. 'That was a good film!' said J at the end.
I think it's on Netflix but you really need to see it on a big screen.
And who knew about 'golden ears' - the acoustic analysts who can detect anything in the water from an enemy sub to a baby dolphin?
I'm tone deaf but I did think that here's a film that might appeal to musicians. At least, musicians who like submarines!

There was a programme on BBC4 the other evening about submarine movies - I watched it being to lazy to change the channel and it was fascinating!

I've watched the trailer for 'By the Grace of God' and I really would like to see it....

Happy weekend!

I didn't see that, Vronni - must look it out. Yes, By the Grace of God was very thought-provoking - French, but would resonate for anyone with Irish connections, too. Hope it turns up near you!
