Critique-Opolis
Jay & Louisa deliver a fiery, opinion fueled overview of movies, social movements, cultural behaviors and eating habits - dovetailed with a honey-based recipe and reviews of the most obnoxious movie/media news headlines we can get our eyeballs in front of. For our latest editions, we will be reviewing scripts from the infamous Hollywood 'Black List' (scripts with a ton of 'buzz' that have yet to secure a deal or go into production) - and adding our own casting and story development suggestions.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
We're back! Did you miss us?? On this week's episode of Critique-o-polis, not only does Jay have a yummy recipe to recommend, but we also watched an excellent feel good movie, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" directed by Ben Stiller. Sidenote: Jay thinks that he might have forgotten to mention the title during our recording, so we will make sure to mention it a few more times now so that you don't forget it. The movie that we reviewed this week was called "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
This was Jay's pick and it did not disappoint! I really enjoyed this movie! I definitely plan to watch it again sometime in the near future.
Walter Mitty is an average guy. He gets up in the morning and goes to work every day at LIFE magazine. Walter is a negative assets manager at LIFE magazine. Walter has done this job for many years, although Walter has never actually met the Photographer, Sean, played by Sean Penn in person, whose Photos he works with and prints in the monthly editions of LIFE.
Throughout the movie Walter experiences temporary blackouts related to the story line where he sees himself as a superhero saving the day or having a particular scenario go the way that he would want it to go if he was bolder and braver. These sequences frequently reminded me of a Spiderman movie.
Walter is on eHarmony and gets frequent calls to help spruce up his profile from an eHarmony employee played by Patton Oswalt. Walter also has a love interest, Cheryl Melhoff played by Kristen Wiig. As it would turn out, Cheryl also works at LIFE magazine.
I don't want to go into too much more detail. there are a lot of parts to the movie and sometimes while watching "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" you might be wondering how is this movie going to end?? What is going to happen?? What will the final outcome be?? Will Walter find negative #25??
Watch the movie and find out! You won't be disappointed.
