bad kitties with an attitude and on a rampage
Cats have very distinctive nature. Every kind of cat has predatory
instinct. When you are up against some one big as a lion, the odds are very against you. In the late 1800 its a story based on actual event regarding 2 man eaters of tsavo in Africa, who made a havoc but a great terrifying ordeal among the hearts of African and Indian slaves working under the command of imperial British empire in there. This story reveals when they were constructing a railway line out there 2 adult grown male lions stalked and killed so many of them. The surprising part of the events is that its not only the hunger which drives them berserk. They are doing it for fun and sport. They have a passion for killing humans and than castrating and smashing their corpses. Moreover they knew what traps are awaiting them. Also they know which men are at their trail. They know how to avoid them and what time to openly go head on head with them. Val kilmer starred as Col Jhon Patterson the British officer and engineer in charge of railway line and Michael Douglas Starred as Remington , an adventurer hitch hiker and professional hunter. I believe it was an excellent combination both actors. Both of them are my favorites. Along with them the other combination was of the lions Bongo and Cesar , i really acknowledge their work as a team and co-operation for making of this film. I heard a quote from a movie , When a man and a beast taste each others blood they both become the same thing. Maybe it was the case of lion because the way they were so brutal , no beast can go to that extant. If you watch this film you see in the early minutes of the film that they were not the lions killing people around there. Before them there was a single one killed by col Patterson but he was not that much clever and aggressive , while the most strongest black man was killed by the lions the doctor in charge of the autopsy at 1st couldn't believe that it was a lion's job, he had experience of such fatalities before but not like this one. When Val kilmer and Micheal Douglas joined hands to end their killing spree , the lions changed their strategy of hunting. There fear was so much powerful nobody could even breath properly in that environment. The most terrifying parts are in the movie when they attack the camp in day light killing and half devouring a man also killing the British deputy of Patterson in self defense , than dodging both men and attacking the hospital where patients were being treated. If you watch the movie don't let yourself being hateful towards the big cats. As a matter of fact they have never threatened us so much as we have massacred them and destructed their habitats. Man has proved a far more greatest Nemesis to beasts and even its own kind. I always love and admire the cats of all kinds. I believe they must be protected and conserved as its their right. Well if the film is concerned its going to be classic. A real but wonderful wild life epic.. amrlarff watch The Guardian movie

Great Idea, Lousy Movie
`The Ghost and the Darkness' is a movie overflowing with promise . . . but,
ultimately, it fails to even remotely deliver on that promise. Set in the late nineteenth century, it's the story Colonel John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) man hired to supervise the building of a bridge in British-colonial Africa. Upon arriving in Africa, Patterson learns that the bridge must be built within five months his supervisor (and the man formerly in charge of building the bridge), Beaumont (Tom Wilkinson), has set this unreasonable deadline just so Patterson will fail. Undaunted by this challenge, Patterson pushes on, and actually enjoys a slight amount of success, until some native workers are mauled to death by a lion. The native workers believe that the lion is a spirit sent to punish the British, but Patterson believe that the lion is just an old male lion that has been kicked out of its pride, left to die of old age. To shut the natives, up, Patterson hires one of the greatest game hunters living in Africa, Charles Remington (Michael Douglas), to kill the beast. Remington hunts down the lion, but finds that he's not after one decrepit old lion, but two young, vicious male lions that hunt as a team. A game of hunter versus hunted ensues between Remington, Patterson, and the killer lions, and the twists and turns that ensue are often quite entertaining. Unfortunately, the movie is usually only interesting when the lions are present. The first third of the movie, setting up the conflict between man and beast, drags along at a painfully slow rate. Val Kilmer is woefully miscast as Patterson, coming across as spoiled and ineffective instead of as a man desperately struggling against the odds. Michael Douglas' performance as Remington, while entertaining, was cartoonish and out of place with the rest of the film. The character of Remington would've benefited greatly from either being toned down or from a reduction in screen time. Ultimately, the lions are the true stars of the film. The scenes where they attack, or where Remington and Patterson are forced to prepare for an attack, are gritty and suspenseful. The animatronic lions created by Stan Winston are unbelievably good watching their eyes focus on their prey in the African twilight is chilling, to say the least. Also, once the lions had been established as a real threat, they could be used to create menace in a scene without even being there. But the lions are supposed to be the villains, not the whole movie, and as such `The Ghost and the Darkness' fails miserably. There's a few scenes that are fantastic, but for the most part, this film's a boring mess. If you're going to watch it, get the DVD, so you can skip ahead to the good scenes and save yourself from a good hour of terminal boredom. C-. |
