way or another the Communist guerrilla war in Malaya kept a whole British army occupied from 1948 until 1952. They were the virgin soldiers. Idle, homesick, afraid, bored, oversexed and unsatisfied. A young virgin like Brigg had to grab his fun while and where he could - in the Liberty Club, in Juicy Lucys flat or up in Phillipas room - in one frantic attempt at living before he died or got demobbed...

his fellow National Servicemen find themselves sentenced to another six months in Panglin Barracks... Many of the surviving characters from The Virgin Soldiers live again in these pages: dogged Tasker, the odious Sergeant Wellbeloved, the vulnerable Colonel Bromley Pickering and the comically touching Juicy Lucy. But we encounter new characters too: the fanatical and demented Lieutenant Grainger; the endearing Welshman, Morris Morris - strong as a horse but bafflingly buxom; US Private Clay - mysteriously lost in transit by the American Army; and last, but not least, Bernice Harrison, the sporting nurse who threatens to replace the wayward Lucy in Brigg's affections

Bought by one of our housemates who absolutely adores anything japanese, manga or oriental this is a japanese movie with english subtitles. We were made to watch this DVD he single handedly picked out from our local blockbuster video store (quite possibly the sale bin, however i never asked). I really regret agreeing to watch it now, however i was drawn in my the fact that he had bought us all 'cinema sweet' popcorn and two tubs of our favourite flavour Ben and Jerry's to accompany it.
I am writing this review, a scared woman who lost 40 minutes of her life to this film, and only doing so to warn others who may be curious or attracted to it's mysterious title 'the lost virgin'. Soundingly innocent ...

The Germans being the cruel fiends they are, open fire on the captured American soldiers while they are fleeing towards the trees to ...
Advantages: Action Packed, Funny, Exciting and Tense Disadvantages: Werewolf's weren't 100%, but nothing really.
I’m sure many of you will have different opinions; nevertheless I have to say before Dog Soldiers, I had never seen a werewolf movie I really enjoyed:
‘Ginger Snaps’ didn’t do it for me, I thought ‘Brotherhood of the Wolf’ wasn’t great and I noticed the age in ‘An American Werewolf in London/Paris’.
I first saw Dog Soldiers round a friends mid Last year, the very next week I brought it for myself on DVD. It is simply brilliant, best described as addictive and it is one of those films you can watch over and over again, still getting the same amount of excitement you received from the first time you watched it!
Dog Soldiers is classed as an action-horror, but I believe a wide – ranged audience can enjoy it. It is a fun film, filled with dark comedy, classy worth – ...
