Monday Movie Meme - Hunting Season
Monday, July 15, 2013 at 9:18PM 
Our weekly cinema grouping activity is back in action! I have no idea why watching the drug movie “Twelve” starring Chance Crawford, Rory Culkin and 50 Cent has me thinking of animal killings – but that’s the theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme: Hunting Season.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring scenes where somebody killed an animal. This includes household pets, creatures in the wild or just about any animal that you would find at the zoo, out camping, on the Discovery Channel, in a National Geographic magazine, etc. – get my drift? Here are my selections for this week’s Hunting Season theme.
Straw Dogs*
Killing somebody’s cat wasn’t cruel enough for the trouble makers in this thriller starring Kate Bosworth and James Woods. The jerks had the audacity to surprise the pet owners by hanging the dead feline up for display.
*I didn’t know the one I watched (circa 2011) was a remake, until doing minor research on the cast members, for this week’s meme. Now, my confusion about why I didn’t seeing Dustin Hoffman (who I thought starred in the movie) in the one I rented totally makes sense now. I’m going to have to remedy that pronto!
Fatal Attraction
A lawyer’s psychotic jump off develops a craving for rabbit stew in this thriller starring Michael Douglas. I just hope the bunny was at least already dead before he hit the water.
Hanna
I just missed your heart! Enough said.
What movies have YOU watched that feature scenes depicting horrid animal deaths?

Well, I'd be a jerk not to mention the first movie on my list:
-An American Werewolf in London
-The Grey (underrated movie, IMHO)
-The Life Aquatic (Steve Zissou's partner was devoured by a Jaguar Shark (off scene, unfortunately))
-Jaws (how could I miss this one?)
-Orca (I remember seeing this film on TV as a kid!)
Fun topic this week!!
Herman,
Ooooh nice choice with American Werewolf! I haven't seen any of those "werewolf" movies in their entirety...only clips of them and they look nuts, lol. I can't wait to watch The Grey whenever it moves up on my rental queue. Looking forward to see what Liam Neeson does in that film. I've read mixed responses to that movie but I still want to check it out. Jaws is a goodie and Orca sounds familiar....sorta and The Life Aquatic sounds scary. I feel what you mean about the off-scene devouring. Sometimes, a movie going that route is like buying the "edited" version of an Eminem CD. No thanks, I want the "explicit" version! lol. Thanks for doing this week's meme; I'm glad you enjoyed the topic of choice!
