    The Ghost and the Darkness

    ★★★

    Watched this because of a Tooth and Claw podcast episode on the Lions of Tsavo, which is the same real life event that this movie is based on.

    An older movie involving imperial-era British colonies always runs the risk of aging poorly. But this movie did have some interesting characters. And it’s wild that this is (loosely) based on real events. You can even see the taxidermied lions in Chicago at the Field Museum.

    Squeak squeak squeaken squeaker.

    This movie is comedy gold. And Deadpool can learn a thing or two from it about breaking the 4th wall.

    ★★★★½

    They manage to neatly tie together a lot of plot lines into one satisfying story.

    As a chemist, I must say I find the exorbitant number of safety violations in the labs to be disturbing.

    If you don’t like this movie then all I have to say to you is “good afternoon!”
