Where The Wild Things Are!

It's Finally Friday!!! For Entertainment Friday I thought we would take a look at movies. Where the Wild Things Are - one of America's most beloved books has hit the theaters today! . According to http://www.flixster.com/movie/where-the-wild-things-are-2009 ,  67% out of 121 critics liked the movie and 73% out of 1,496 flixster users liked the movie. In a review of the movie Spike Jones explains the movie as,
              
 "It’s not much like current children’s movies. There are no cutesy, funny pop-culture references a la Shrek, and it’s not about delivering an uplifting life lesson on the order of Up!. It’s also basically not an animated film — the creatures are actors in vividly expressive Jim Henson Creature Shop-designed costumes, though the facial movements are computer-generated. All I can say is that it’s a very interesting movie for adults in the way it uses childhood fantasy to explore issues of loneliness, sadness, alienation and forgiveness." 


As I went through and looked at reviews, stats and even ratings I got pretty much the same result. Many people feel this PG film  is more  of an adult movie based on a child's anger, sorrow and forgiveness! In my opinion it looks like an awesome movie to go and see. I am interested to hear your opinions on the movie and I will share more of my opinion once I go and see it:)  
 I hope you have a good weekend and will talk to again tomorrow for Food for Thought.
