Double bill of films set in India. In 'The Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel (2011), John Madden directs an all-star cast of Judi Dench,
Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton, Ronald
Pickup and Tom Wilkinson as a group of mature Brits who travel to
India looking for a sunnier climate in which to retire. Despite its
glossy publicity campaign, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the
Elderly and Beautiful turns out to be rather different from the
refurbished luxury hotel advertised in the brochures. However, as
the previously lonely people grow closer, the hotel soon begins to
reveal some unexpected charms of its own. 'Life of Pi' (2012) is an
Academy Award-winning fantasy adventure based on Yann Martel's
Booker Prize-winning novel. Suraj Sharma stars as Pi Patel, a
16-year-old zookeeper's son from Pondicherry who finds himself
stranded on a small boat in the Pacific Ocean in the company of a
hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Bengal tiger following the
shipwreck of the freighter on which he and his family were sailing
for Canada. Over the course of several months Pi manages to survive
on the meagre supplies of food and water he finds on the boat, and
also takes up fishing, while in his half-delirious state he muses
on various aspects of animal behaviour, religion and the meaning of
life.
Bull Mohawk, an offshore rig drilling for oil in the Gulf of
Mexico, is about to make a horrific discovery. Unknown to man,
trapped beneath Earth's crust and latched onto oil-filled rock
pockets, are things soon to be known as "Oil Busters." The colorful
crew of the Bull Mohawk must struggle to save their rig from an
unknown entity. Meanwhile, scientists make their way to the
distressed rig to find out why drilling operations seem to be
declining in the United States. Other countries, unaware of the Oil
Busters, see this as the perfect opportunity to play an awful
political game with America and her allies. Our greatest fears have
been awakened with the arrival of the Oil Busters. What's causing
the eruption of offshore rigs around the globe? Will the crew of
the Bull Mohawk stand and fight or flee the rig? How will the
President of the United States save the country from an oil crisis?
This catastrophe has been long in the making, but humanity may pull
through if we work together.
