Life of Pi

Yann Martel's worldwide bestseller is awoken by Ang Lee in this mega blockbuster. Pi Patel and his phantasmagoric struggle on a raft with a Bengal tiger are retold in great CGI glory. As in the book you are left with the decision to see if the story as told is true or was it Pi's way of coping with what he had to do to survive.

Changing Times

What would you do in middle age with the realization that you let the love of your life slip away on the tides of arrogant youth? Some would pine and look back through the misted panes of the past. Others would throw caution to the winds and ride a wave of recklessness to bring their love back. Antoine (Gérard Depardieu) does the latter when he moves between continents in the hope of winning Cécile (Catherine Deneuve) back. The fact that she has a family with a host of their own problems does not faze him. But then again if he was fazed by it, one would not call it surfing the waves of recklessness.

A John Woo type senseless gangster flick set in Paris. The cops find themselves mired in the sleaze of crime-world as they proceed to dismantle a gang that is holding the whole city to ransom. Couldnt take it after a while - certain there was a twist in the tale awaiting, but sometimes the wait is tiring.
