Misunderstood at home and at school, mischievous Max escapes to a land populated by majestic, and sometimes fierce, creatures known as the Wild Things! Be sure to check out our coverage on the film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book, "Where the Wild Things Are"! Plus we discuss our favorite movies based off of books! The movie in itself isn't what you'd expect from being based off a children's story, but then again, it's much better that way! This movie wasn't quite as good as I had hoped that it would be, although adults that enjoy heartwarming films might enjoy it! My parents... not so much!

October Movie Trailer Reel
We check out the trailers for "Where the Wild Things Are", "Amelia", and Michael Jackson's This Is It"!
"FAME! Remember my name!" I have been anticipated this movie for awhile and had very high expectations! For the most part, they were lived up, but it was totally the opposite of what I had expected! This movie was a music filled drama, but felt a bit like a documentary! A good documentary though! It was only rated PG, but needed to be PG-13 for a few inappropriate elements. The only disappointment I had was that it didn't feature a performance of the song "Fame"! But other than that it was all good in the hood! (I had to say that since the film takes place in NYC)
Lydia's Rental of the Week - "Ghost"
Sam Wheat, a investment banker on the rise, is killed by what seems to be a random mugging, which in actuality was a premeditated act that got botched. The love for his girlfriend, Molly, and being out of sorts because of his untimely death, he doesn’t go on to heaven but instead stays behind as a ghost, lingering around Molly, frustrated that she can’t hear or see him. That is until he finds Oda Mae Brown, a scam-artist of a psychic who in fact learns herself that she really does have the gift after meeting Sam. Now, with Oda Mae’s help, Sam needs to protect Molly from the same people who killed him before it’s too late. This 1990 hit is a film with multi-layered genres, such as Comedy, Romance, Fantasy, Thriller and Drama. It’s also filled with multi-layered talent such as Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg and Tony Goldwyn. Whoopi won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal as Oda Mae Brown. And Patrick Swayze does an amazing performance in the lead role as Sam Wheat. Sadly, Patrick just passed away recently and it is a real loss. He will be dearly missed by so many and will always be remembered, especially in this role which catapulted his career to major stardom at the time!
