Movie Review: Where the Wild Things Are
Where the Wild Things Are
Rating: 
Directed By: Spike Jonze
Starring: Max Records, Forest Whitaker, Catherine O’Hara, James Gandolfini, Chris Cooper, Catherine Keener
Plot:
An adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world–a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler. [IMDB]
Pre-Review Editorial:
I read an actual review of Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are that stated the following:
Authentic though it may be, this movie will appeal to douchey hipsters. If you are upper-middle-class, liked I Heart Huckabees, have Buddy Holly glasses, listen to rap ironically, and/or believe yourself to be an undiscovered genius or otherwise tortured and unique person, this is right in your wheelhouse for Movie of the Year. [Film School Rejects]
Now, let me put on my horn rimmed glasses and get on with my douchy hipster review of Where the Wild Things Are.

Movie Trailer: Powder Blue
Powder Blue: Feature Trailer
music by Didier Lean Rachou
Powder Blue: Teaser Trailer
music by The Soul’s Release (Dripping Whispers)
[UPDATED] Credits for the music used in each trailer added. This film’s going to have a great soundtrack (Thanks to post commentators James McKee and serpico).
There were rumblings that Powder Blue was the “Jessica Biel plays a stripper and gets naked” movie. However, looking at the trailer, it looks like there’s something more substantial here.
Plot Synopsis after the jump (it’s a bit of a read):
