From my friend Ragan comes this review of the movie "Where the Wild Things Are"

Best little blurb to describe the best movie of the year (for me) "Where the Wild Things Are":
"It’s not a kid’s movie. It’s not a movie for kids. It’s a movie made from the mindset of a child. We’re not ever going to truly know the impact of this film, because it’s near impossible to understand the child’s mind. They think every is OK, awesome, or boring, and most can’t articulate beyond that. And if you’re sitting there thinking my kid is different it probably means you’ve fed them some answer to the question. The lessons learned are subtle and almost not worth stating … Don’t bite your mom, you can’t make everyone happy, be sorry for being mean. We know these things. Maybe kids need to hear them. A book that didn’t have much to say (it’s nine sentences long) might just be a movie that could speak volumes."
