Sharks and Wolves

I have been attractedd to animal-themed movies lately, and two of the most fascinating ones I have watched are The Grey and Dark Tide.  The Grey is the story of a group of rough-and-tumble men flying home from their job in the frozen Alaskan wilderness.  Their plane crashes and they are suddenly forced to battle the wills of nature and a pack of wolves in order to make it home to their families. This movie is full of heart-pounding action and is not for the faint of heart!  Dark Tide is the story of Kate, a shark expert, who "free dives" with great white sharks outside of shark cages.  Kate's life is good until a fellow diver dies from a shark attack as she watches.  She loses her will to dive until a wealthy customer arrives, wanting to experience his own swim with sharks.  The sharks in this movie are celebrated for their beauty, majesty and ferociousness and the underwater scenes with the sharks are breathtaking.  Both of these movies show the stark beauty of nature and celebrate the power of animals.  Both moveis are rated PG-13 because of graphic/ disturbing animal attack scenes.
