the secret life of walter mitty (2013). directed by ben stiller.

i thought it was pretty good. i like the fact that the movie is genuinely feel good, there is no cliched characters that i feel like smacking the hell out and the photography direction is just gorgeous. what's not to like? after watching films on slavery and grief, i do want to be carried off to fantasy land, and this does the job nicely. 

rabbit hole (2010). directed by john cameron mitchell.

grief is no laughing matter. losing a child isn't either. it changes the house, changes the relationships of people left behind - at times taking a turn for the worse. how do people get from grieving, to a stage where it is bearable?

great watch. don't expect happy endings, but expect good acting of people trying to move on from losing something so dear to them.
