Superman III

Description

Superman III is a 1983 superhero film and the third installment in the Superman film series. The film follows the Man of Steel as he battles a supercomputer that has taken over the world and turns his attention to a megalomaniac businessman who plans to use a weather control machine to hold the world for ransom. Meanwhile, Superman's alter ego, Clark Kent, reunites with high school sweetheart Lana Lang, now a single mother, and must contend with his own inner demons.

The film stars Christopher Reeve as Superman/Clark Kent, alongside Richard Pryor as Gus Gorman, a computer programmer who becomes involved with the film's villains, and Annette O'Toole as Lana Lang. The film was directed by Richard Lester and produced by Pierre Spengler, with a screenplay by David Newman and Leslie Newman. Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in the previous films, appears in a reduced role due to conflicts with the film's producers.

Superman III received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment, earning $80 million against a budget of $39 million. The film's lighter tone and emphasis on humor have been criticized for deviating from the series' serious themes, and Richard Pryor's performance as a comedic sidekick has been particularly divisive. Despite its shortcomings, the film has gained a cult following among fans of the Superman franchise and is often cited as a guilty pleasure.

Action & Adventure
Life of Pi, directed by Ang Lee and based on the Booker award-winning novel of Yann Martel, which was rewritten by David Magee for the movie, telling as a story about Indian boy survived shipwreck alongside with hyena, orangutan, a wounded zebra and a beautiful White Bengal tiger. Yann Martel have explored and studied lots of facts about an ocean life to give credence to story. That's why, despite the unbelievable storyline, the situations and solutions described in the movie could really take place in real life. The boy named Pi was raised in Indian family owning a zoo. At one day they decided to migrate in Canada with all of their animals and boarded the Japanese freighter. Soon after the leaving India, a shipwreck has killed all the people and animals except for little boy and four animals including furious tiger. All of them take a shelter on one small lifeboat. The boy has managed to survive in this uneasy situation for 227 days. A strong will to overcome the deadly perils, a faith in life and inexhaustible optimism leaded him to long journey adrift by the Pacific Ocean. The journey fortunately ends when their boat reaches the Mexico coast. The tiger (named Richard Parker, by the way) escapes to the nearest jungle, leaving the boy alone. Years after, Japanese Maritime officers interviews Pi in order to investigate the circumstances and consequences of shipwreck. Pi tells him as story about his peregrination, but no one believes him. Pi, feeling the lack of confidence, tells them another version of his wandering, without animals, instead of which a sailor, a cook and his mother act. In this butcherly version a cook kills a sailor and Pi's mother to use them as bait and food. After he tells the second story, Pi asks Japanese officers which of two versions they like most. When he gets the answer, confirming that story with animals is better, Pi says "…and so it goes with God".
