The Secret Life

As usual I started the year having seen the better movies available at the local cinemas.  I had seen the trailer for  "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and was not impressed.  But we wanted a movie and gave it a go.  I'm glad I did.  The preview did not give any idea of the story.  The trailer was cut in a way that some scenes that appeared to be major were actually minor.  Walter Mitty day-dreams a more exciting life than he actually lives.  When he finally goes for an adventure, the movie is much fun.  it is also a travel movie with great scenery (Greenland, Iceland and the Himalayas).

I don't know if this was a motto of Life Magazine but it was an important statement in the movie.

I give it ***stars.  2014 Movie #1
