Zoned Out with Walter Mitty

The Biting Himalayas
I guess this is one enjoyable remake especially with the state of the art special effects and computer graphics.

The Seas off Greenland and a Shark Fight
Walter Mitty, a negative manager at Life-Time Corporation contributed to the life-line of Life Magazine. A daydreamer, his final mission was to look for famed photographer Sean's negative No.25  which will be the cover of the final printed copy of Life Magazine before it goes fully digital. This was to take him to true exciting adventures from Greenland,Iceland to Afghanistan.

The Imagination of Walter Mitty
He had to jump off from a helicopter flown by a drunk pilot in the rough icy seas off Greenland to fighting off a man-eating shark; work on a ship en route to Iceland  and  to escaping  a volcano in Iceland and then, subsequently to Afghanistan to meet with the Taliban warlords and to search for the elusive and ghostly snow leopard.

The Protagonists, Walter and Cheryl
Wonderful portrayal by Ben Stiller,Kristen Wiig and Sean Penn.

The soundtrack and the songs (especially Pina colada) was simply superb.

Sean Penn as the intrepid photographer
Enjoyed this movie. I believe I zoned out to just like Walter.
