Where the wild things are...

I simply blissed out on the colors, textures & visuals of this movie. I loved this 100 minute travel in a 9 year old's mind. Cherry on top: original songs by Karen O & the kids...

Some have said this has no plot. What they really mean is, it is not Hollywood enough for them. There was certainly a plot. If you understand humanity, you will understand this movie. I left wiping tears about the characters. Missing them already.

Spike Jonze has spent five years fighting to bring his vision of the book classic to theaters, and beyond a few fumbles it's hard to imagine anyone doing it better.
