There's one in all of us.


Im sure you all remember the children's story Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. The book tells the story of Max who one evening causes mischievous acts and as punishment, his mother sends him to bed without supper.  He then 
creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures.  Max conquers them "by staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once," and he is made "the King of all Wild Things."  When Sendak first had written the story it featured horses instead of monsters, but Sednak said he switched to monsters when he realized he couldnt draw horses.  Forty-six years since it was written the story makes its way to film!!  Yes, lucky us is right!  Directed by Spike Jonze the film will be released on October 16th, 2009 through Warner Bros.  With a voice cast of James Gandolfini, Catherine O'Hara, and Forest Whitaker its sure to be great!  This film will remind us that "There's one in all of us."  Take a look at the movie trailer below.

Brainless amazement to hold you over while I work on it.

April

I know April 1st is "April Fools Day" but I really have become April's Fool. So now we're well into April, almost the end of April to be exact, and lets just say I broke a few things this month. It started off with a mirror which I heard gives you seven years of bad luck, well I certainly hope not (maybe I'll blog about the mirror theory at a later time). Next, it was a glass, fine I'm lying, two glasses. Then it was a promise, a promise not to neglect my blog. And what did I do? Just that exactly, so now I'm starting fresh. After all, it is spring and spring is about fresh starts and new beginnings right?
