There the Wild Things are
Too often lately have I seen movies that I held dear as a child defiled with slapdash sequels ( Star Wars / Indiana Jones ) or incredible novels clumsily adapted beyond all recognition for the big screen ( Phillip Pullman’s - Northern Lights rechristened “The Golden Compass“. No , no , no)
So I approached with trepidation the news that a Maurice Sendak’s seminal children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” was making the often hazardous move from paper to celluloid.
