We’ve got the first photos from Spike Jonze’s (BEING JOHN MALKOVICH) big screen adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book,
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. The film follows the tale of young Max, a mischievous little boy in a monster-suit who imagines himself away to a fantastic world inhabited by the ‘Wild Things’,’ giant, wily creatures who anoint Max their king.
Check out the photos inside and rant back to us about how wild you think they are!
The problem with two-part cliffhanger extravaganzas is that the second part rarely lives up to the first. Ending on a high note means you are surely bound to disappoint in the tying up of loose ends. LOST practically exists on leaving the audience hanging, only to frustrate us with its ever stranger, more reaching answers. HEROES has destroyed almost all of its credibility by trying to explain what we don’t even want explained.
Check out the first production stills inside from Guy Ritchie’s upcoming flick
ROCKNROLLA, the acclaimed director’s triumphant return to his London underground niche, where he first gained distinction with 1998’s LOCK STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and again with 2000’s SNATCH.
Well, the final episode of this season of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL has come and gone. And as it started, so it goes out, with more of a whimper then a bang. There were few surprises and almost no dramatics as Saleisha was revealed to be this season’s winner. In season’s past I have often waited with baited breath to see who the winner was, as in the epic battle between ambitious Melrose and fun-loving Caridee two seasons ago.
PUSHING DAISIES is the best new show of this television season. It has the most creative concept, artistically realized in the text and visual presentation. Tonight, the cast was allowed the space to show off.
Going for a night out at the movies today is increasingly expensive. In major urban areas, the price of admission is about 12 bucks. But it’s not the high cost of tickets that ticks them off. No, they’re upset about what happens after they plunk their rear ends on the seat. It used to be going to a movie was a pleasant experience, a night out on the town; now it’s a night filled with annoyance. We movie goers are entitled to enjoy the evening and not be assaulted. So I hereby proclaim a MOVIE GOERS BILL OF RIGHTS.
