As someone who grew up loving the book Where The Wild Things Are, I knew going in to this movie that I was either going to love it or hate it. I absolutely loved it. It was more loosely based off the book I grew up loving so much than it was a word for word visual telling and Spike Jonze made it work beautifully. It was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen and absolutely beautiful both visually and emotionally. It is not for children, it is for the child that still lives inside of all of us jaded adults. This film moved me. It touches on issues that so many of us have pushed deep down within ourselves since childhood and brings them back out with such truth and innocence that even the coldest of hearts will be misty eyed by the end.
Public Enemies is a fantastic movie. I thought even though it was quite lengthy, it wasn't unnecessarily so. I was sucked into the story and kept on the edge of my seat. It has a little bit of something for everyone in it, I believe. A true cops and robbers story done the right way and something I was definitely looking for as movie scripts have been seriously lacking the last few years. The cast is absolutely full of familiar faces even for tiny parts and Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard shine. Go see this exciting movie.
