Review of Life of Pi

Life of Pi, movie is based on Man Booker- prize winning novel 'Life of Pi' by Canadian author Yann Martel. The film tells the incredible survival story of Pi, a teen stranded on a lifeboat for what seems like forever with a tiger for company at sea in the Pacific Ocean.

Starting out with the older Pi (Irrfan Khan) recounting his unbelievable life story to an author ( Rafe Spall), we travel down memory lane and are briefly introduced to Pi's childhood in picturesque Puducherry (Pondicherry), his family-owned zoo and his faith in God and religion.

The movie starts as a family heads to Canada for better life while natural calamity stikes leaving Pi the only human survivor with a full-grown fierce Bengal tiger for company on a lifeboat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Then the movie continue with the adventure and journey of duo.

Oscar winner Ang Lee delivers a stunning masterpiece, defying the age-old belief that a film can seldom be as good as the book it's been adapted from. Spectacular 3D and computer-generated imagery make the film a monumental work of art. Lee's cinematic adaptation offers the story deeper meaning, while at the same time, mesmerising the viewer with its visual excellence.

Nicki Minaj rocks NZ amid sagging sales

She daringly bended forward as she placed her bottom provocatively in front of her dancers, giving the crowd a clear view of her ample cleavage.

Nicki did cover her legs up in black tights though, emerging from a pink tent-like structure before using the rest of the platform.

The American Idol judge has been hard at work on the promotional rounds recently as she tries to draw attention to a number of her career projects.

However she has claimed that sales of her new album The Re-Up are lower than expected because key retailers have refused to stock it. 

Released on November 19, the album has not done as well as expected, according to a report from Pop Crush. 

She told radio station Power 105.1: ‘It's hard to get the album because the stores basically said that the last few re-releases they had put out did not do well and they didn't want to take a chance.

‘So Target and Walmart [are] not selling the album. And Target is actually my biggest retailer. They've sold the most Nicki Minaj albums ever; thank you Target, but I wish you could have sold this one... it kind of sets you up to fail.’

She explained: ‘At the end of the day I'm happy that I was able to put the music out. 

‘The real reason for me to put out The Re-Up is because I wanted to have a bridge between this time and the third album. I wanted people to have music that I really stand by.’
