Today the kids and I went to the dollar show. We watched two movies there today. We went in for the noon showing of "Where the Wild Things Are." I wasn't really impressed with it. Actually, I was a bit disappointed in it. I expected more.
It was really kind of dark. I do not like the method of having the camera jump around with the character, either. I makes my head hurt and makes it impossible to focus on anything. As for the story line, it's a kids movie so I expected it to be a little more lighter in mood. Even the book ends a lot lighter than this movie did. I got bored with it, too, which is very unusual for me. I found myself checking the time on my phone to see how much longer the movie would last.
After "Where the Wild Things Are" we went across the lobby to one of the other theaters to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." That was a really cute movie. It made us laugh. They did a really good job with the story line for this movie. There are references to other movies in it, too.
Maybe it's just me and was not intentional, but there were parts that looked like they came straight from horror and/or adventure movies. I saw references to "The Decent," "The Day After Tomorrow," and "Journey to the Center of the Earth." There is another movie, that I saw referenced, but I cannot remember what it was now. The cop also reminded me of "Lazy Town." In any case, it really was a cute movie. The kids loved it and want it on DVD when it comes out.
