2 bits on Wild Things
PostedOctober 24, 2009

Having just come back from seeing Where the Wild Things Are, I'm trying to figure out what some reviewers, both in print and here on the web, mean when they say that the movie has "no plot." I suppose they think of plots as kidnappings, conspiracy stories, and apocalyptic tales of 2012. Wild Things is the story of a boy setting out to discover himself—and doing just that. All the monsters he discovers are either facets of his own personality or memories of people who are important to him in his real life. Not a scene was extraneous to his quest, and not a line of dialogue rang untrue. Wild Things is a truly magical and beautiful film, probably the best movie I've seen this year.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Part Hollywood Satire, Part Coming of Age

It's not at all surprising that Sylvester Stallone is reported to have loved this movie. Instead of showing his dumb Rambo flicks as harmful to youngsters, here First Blood becomes the means for liberating one boy from a tyrannical religious cult and another from parental neglect. I won't spoil the fun by hinting at how the two end up filming their own sequel to Rambo, but once they do their lives and the atmosphere of their school are never the same. Alternately hilarious and touching, this is a must see movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
