THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY - 6th January 2014

Saw 'THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY' this afternoon, and loved it! This film is brilliant and a must-see. Ben Stiller has nailed it, and with his acting, directing and producing credits on this film gets a big thumbs up for this one. Ensure it is on your list of films to see on the big screen this season - it has everything - a morality tale, a cleverly weaved feel good story, a voyage of discovery, sentiment, stunning scenery, strong soundtrack, spot-on casting (Sean Penn playing himself playing an ace photographer - genius!), and all the ingredients to make this a classic! 

You know the Walter Mitty story, but this has the twist of being set in the modern era against the backdrop of the internet age, the demise of newsprint, corporate greed and declining values in the workplace . . . but out of these ashes rises our own home grown superhero in Walter Mitty whose strength comes from adversity, facing his fears, doing the right thing and proving his worth to himself, work love interest (Kristen Wiig) and the world. 

This is set amid the breathtaking landscapes of Greenland and Iceland which only serve to make this film more colourful, rich and rewarding. One of the best films of 2013 for sure - go and see it soon . . . you won't be disappointed!
