Let the wild rumpus start

A while ago we made a mention of the recent film adaption of "Where the wild things are" - so one of our readers went to see it (again) with his children and wrote a review ... check it out!

"Let the Wild Rumpus Start!"
Those may be the most memorable words I have ever read aloud as a parent.

That is Max Records, who plays Max in everyone's favorite story about a boy who dreams he is a king. Last month I saw Where the Wild Things Are with my two oldest (9 and 11). I had already seen the movie once -- on opening night. I am that kind of fan of an assortment of things (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Cormac McCarthy, lots of musicians). I was really excited about the film. For once, I thought, an indie-kids movie.
