Hello PlayStation Blog. I hope you all had a really good weekend. Here are the four new releases for this week:

Life of Pi
Embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this visual masterpiece from Oscar winner Ang Lee, based on the best-selling novel. After a cataclysmic shipwreck, an Indian boy named Pi finds himself stranded on a lifeboat with a ferocious Bengal tiger. Together, they face nature’s majestic grandeur and fury on an epic journey of discovery.

Available now to buy in the UK from £9.99. Available in Australia from May 2013.

Pitch Perfect
Arriving at her new college, Beca (Anna Kendrick) finds herself muscled into a clique that she never would have picked on her own. The only thing they have in common is how good they sound when they sing together. When Beca leads this a cappella singing group out of their traditional arrangements into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of college music competitions.

Available now in the UK to rent or buy, priced from £3.59/£11.99. Out now in Australia.

Alex Cross
Alex Cross follows the homicide detective/psychologist (Tyler Perry), from the worldwide best-selling novels by James Patterson, as he meets his match in a serial killer (Matthew Fox). The two face off in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but when the mission gets personal, Cross is pushed to the edge of his moral and psychological limits in this taut and exciting action thriller.

Available in Australia from 17th April to buy or rent, priced from AU$5.99/AU$19.99.

Butter
A tale of competition at its most cut-throat, Butter surveys the raw ambition of Laura Pickler (Jennifer Garner), the wife of Bob Pickler (Ty Burrell), Iowa’s long-reigning champion butter carver.

For 15 years, Laura has relished her high-profile role as the beautiful, loyal helpmate to her affable, artistically gifted husband. But when Bob is pressured to retire and allow someone else a chance at glory, an indignant Laura decides to enter the competition herself.

She is first in line on sign-up day, only to see her odds of victory fall below 100% with the arrival of an unlikely yet formidable contender: 10-year-old Destiny (Yara Shahidi), the African-American foster child of local couple Julie and Ethan (Alicia Silverstone and Rob Corddry). And that’s not all. Bob’s would-be mistress, bad-girl stripper Brooke (Olivia Wilde), also declares her candidacy, as does his #1 fan, Carol-Ann (Kristen Schaal)….
