Where the Wild Things Are

Posted by Jeff Jolly On October - 26 - 2009

  This past weekend I had the opportunity to go see the new movie Where the Wild Things Are. This movie is based on the book. It’s about a kid who I guess thinks he’s some sort of cat or something. He gets in a fight with his mom and decides to sail away. He comes to an island where wild things are and becomes their king. If you want to know more go see the flick.

  ” It was very wierd, kind of creeped me out. But I did love the book, and wish I could hang out with Bob and Terry for a day,” said Junior Jordan Fowler.

  “Bob and Terry were very funny. It  was an inspiring movie. I was emotionally aroused when I saw the dirt fight because it brought me back to sweet  memories of me as a child. It reminded me of when i ran away from home and sailed away. I was very happy after seeing the film. God bless the director,” said Junior Justin Potts.
