HER
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor LOVE TECHNOLOGY STYLE – HER Every year there’s that film that critics decide to laud and it gets agreed upon this is the one to tell audiences to see – this year that movie is “her“, a film by Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are) a filmmaker who seems to be in the inner circle when it comes to praise, even from the harshest critics.

THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor In The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Walter (Ben Stiller) is an exceedingly regular kinda guy, with 15 years at Life Magazine, working with photo negatives in a dark archival room, along side a nice, but overweight, equally dorky guy (Adrian Martinez).
