Wild Things!

So i watched Where the Wild Things Are and I have to say that I was genuinely pleased with how it came out. First I want to point out that regardless of the source material this was not really a children's movie. It was steeped in emotional turmoil and bursts of anger and was sometimes a little scary. But it was beautiful, Spike Jonze completely captured the look and feel of the book. The "Wild things" themselves were amazing. I don't know if they were computer generated, puppetry or a mixture of both.But it was the most incredibly authentic performances from all of them. The range of emotions visible on the Wild Things faces was...well i can't really explain it. definitely something that needs to be seen. If there was an academy award for best performance for a non-living character Carol or KW would win, hands down. I say if you fondly remember the book then go see this movie. Of course since the book is really short the story may not be what you remember but there are definitely some classic lines from the book to look out for.
