Life of Pi

Still not sure how I feel about this movie.  I read the book and loved it, and I'm always worried about movie versions of books I like. 
What unnerves me in the trailer is the CG tiger.  Yes, I understand that training a real tiger for this movie would have been ridiculous, but it's distracting and kills my suspension of disbelief.  It's great CG, but not "real."  Granted, the rest of the surroundings look hyper-real (super lush CG).  So maybe the tiger will fit well into this world.  As long as they're consistent with the look of the film I might buy it.

Les Mis


I've never read Les Mis, I didn't grow up on the music, and I've only ever seen a high school performance of the musical...but this trailer has made me quite excited for the movie.
