Just watched "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" on Blu-ray.
It is a Ben Stiller film, starring, surprisingly, Ben Stiller.
But actually, the most surprising thing is that this film is rather grown-up for him.
I do not really know the J. Thurber story, and doubt that this modern version is very true to the story, but the gist could well be there, Thurberesque, we might say.
But on to the film, the picture quality is delicious, some of the scenery is breathtaking. He takes us on a bit of an improbable ride.
The payoff is quite warm and feel good stuff.
This ain't Tolstoy folks.
Surroundsound is fine, not much stands out in my mind except for the songs during the movie and especially in the credits. The sound quality there is great!!!! Some of this score is just really good music by Jose Gonzalez (NO, I am not makin' this stuff up)!!!!
Don't get this movie to show off, demonstrate your home theater sound system. But get it if you want a feel good, goes well with popcorn movie with good music.
God Bless,

God bless the child that's got his own.
