REVIEW: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Dir: Ben Stiller Release: 26 December ’13 Rating: PG It’s a short story that I analysed to death in Higher English a terrifying ten years ago, so when I saw that it had been given the Hollywood treatment yet again with Ben Stiller taking on both the lead role and directorial duties, I had to… Continue reading REVIEW: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
