Luxor4u

Well what a pleasant surprise, a brilliant film excellent photography and the visual effects? stunning.
Now, I will have to read the book 9/1O......
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454876/
PS: definitely one for the old folks @ the 'Klassic Kino Kinema 'al fresco West Bank. Land of The Dead. Thebes. Egypt.

That's on my Wish list, and some other Film,the name of which the name escapes me, again..

ALL I remember thinking as I was watching the trailer is.... Going to need a bigger Telly

PS. No "Likes" off me just yet, in case the film is crap...

I don't normally enjoy films on a plane, but usually give them a chance. When you get your earphones on Egyptair, I know that I am four Omm Kalthoum songs from Cairo or Copenhagen , but they showed this today and it was incredible - even on a tiny screen. I left the house before 5AM after no sleep, but Life of Pi certainly kept me awake.

I too watched it on my recent exit flight and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also had a 5am departure, after getting up at 3:30. No water of course, so had to bathe from buckets of cold water filled the previous night, tempered by kettles of boiled water. Not enough to wash my hair though.

I also enjoyed Skyfall and the last third of The Sessions, during which I had fallen asleep on the way over, not because it was bad, I was just very tired. Both recommended.

My Score for the life of Pi ?

3.14159265

Groan!

I'm on the waitlist at the local library for the book - I'm 36th out of 36 readers and I think I've moved up in the line.

By coincidence, I watched it last night! An excellent film, with quite a twist at the end. The real and animatronic animals merged so well, I could never be sure which was which.

I was expecting something, but certainly not that!

Loved the film and have the book to read its next on my list.
If anyone in Luxor wants its I can bring it out in May just let me know.
