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. 

tropic thunder (2008). directed by ben stiller.

this film is incredibly funny-stupid. or stupid fun. some things that blows me over are

- the fact that the black RDJ stayed in character at all times

- RDJ sported blue contact lenses

- RDJ sported fake oz accent that sounded totally shit but that's the whole point

- the satan's alley trailer and calls for it to be turned into a proper movie (and i havent got around watching happy together (1997) whlist my sister frowned upon looking at the cover: 2 guys rolling on the floor, you get the drift)

- tobey maguire and RDJ - hot

- tom cruise as the jewish head of studio muthafucka

- the fact that ben stiller got around to make this

brilliant.
