It's a pity for Walter Mitty... mixed reviews trickle in.

Derek Zoolander: I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.

Ben Stiller's ambitious and ambiguous directorial effort The Secret Life of Walter Mitty premiered today in New York for the Film Festival. The consensus is in, but there is no real word on the film's quality since it is so... divisive. The Huffington Post calls it 'Earnest Sap', in one of the film's few positive reviews (link).The Wrap says Stiller's Mitty 'tries too hard' (link), and The Playlist gave the film a C- (link). Definitely count this film out on Best Adapted Screenplay, and the chance it has at earning a Picture nomination is looking incredibly slim. However, it may play well to older audiences and audience members needing a Christmas movie diversion. Nothing more, nothing less.

'Lincoln' ramps up its Oscar campaign.

After being relatively dormant in the past 8 months, Dreamworks has ramped up the campaign considerably. Being the first film to have a freakin' Google Plus Trailer premiere/hangout. During the presidential debate, a two minute TV spot aired. You can watch it below.

In other news, the film will preimire tomorrow at the NYFF (New York Film Festival). If the reviews come out mixed tomorrow, do remember that Hugo got reasonably bland reviews until a Los Angeles re-evaluation.
