NEW YORK -- For the second year in a row, 20th Century Fox has brought to the New York Film Festival a film that cost a lot of money to make thanks to expensive visual effects, features a plot that blends fantasy and reality and a moviegoing experience that leaves some viewers cold and others deeply moved. Last year, that film was Ang Lee's Life of Pi, which went on to score a best picture Oscar nomination, among many others, and won the best director Oscar. This year, it is Ben Stiller's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which might go on to snag a few noms of its own.
