Where the Wild Things Are (2009): 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. (7.1)
Director: Spike Jonze
Stars: Max Records, Catherine O'Hara and Forest Whitaker
Better than the book, IMHO. (I never thought I'd say that about any movie.) It attempts to examine Max's thoughts, feelings, personality and "issues" through various creatures in the forest. My rating: 7.5
