Here is the review for it

Review in a Hurry: Artfully oddball director Spike Jonze brings his aesthetic to the much-loved children’s book about a rowdy kid who leaves home to become king of the monsters, only to find it’s not easy being in charge. If you ever loved the book as a kid or parent (or both), you will cry. Yes you will. Don’t fight it.

The Bigger Picture: The director of quirky brain-teasers Being John Malkovich and Adaptation might not initially seem like a perfect fit to adapt a Maurice Sendak book, but his work on Beastie Boys videos and Jackass actually gives him the perfect understanding of a rowdy, 9-year-old sensibility. From the opening credits that appear to have been vandalized by a kid and a crayon, to the emotional outbursts that fuel the departure of young Max (Max Records) to the land of the Wild Things, Jonze fully captures that childhood sense of having stronger emotions than you know how to comprehend and deal with.

Distraught from a snowball fight gone awry, the deadpan apocalyptic pronouncements of his science teacher, and an unwanted boyfriend for mom (Catherine Keener), Max dons his wolf suit and gets rowdy, finally biting his mother and running away—either literally or into his own subconscious, depending on how you read things.

After finding a boat and sailing away, he comes to an island where giant, rowdy, fuzzy monsters are having trouble getting along, especially a particularly aggressive beast named Carol (voice of James Gandolfini) who likes to smash things every time he doesn’t get his way.

To avoid being eaten by these creatures, Max quickly improvises one of those run-on stories that kids like to tell, about his own superpowers and battles with Vikings. The Wild Things believe every word and make him their king, though an ominous pile of humanoid bones nearby suggests that there may ultimately be a steep price to pay for monarchy.

Soon enough, Max realizes that he has been thrust into the parent role—and that out-of-control kids can be a frightening responsibility, even when you have the best of intentions. Adults will be able to read all kinds of subtexts into the way the individual creatures behave, while kids will just image how cool, and occasionally scary, it would be to have a gang of giant furry creatures to play with. There isn’t a whole lot of narrative, but there’s a ton of emotional truth.

Not every plot point in the book is covered: a forest doesn’t literally grow in Max’s bedroom, and that nifty sea serpent is sadly M.I.A. Also, toy collectors will note that all the major characters except Max have been renamed since Todd McFarlane put out the action figures a few years ago. But the spirit of the book is intact, and Sendak is on record as saying that anyone who doesn’t like the movie “can go to hell.”

The 180—a Second Opinion: Though the CG facial expressions of the Wild Things are generally effective, the lip-movements have that distinct air of digital unreality to them; this is the one aspect of the film likely to look dated in the years to come.

“A nasty rumor floated all over the Internet yesterday that the Scrubs star had off’ed himself with a bunch of pills. Thankfully, he posted a note on Facebook (which received less “likes” than he would have liked) and a video to clear up the tall tales.

“I’m alive,” he says. “I’m here at Scrubs shooting the new Scrubs title sequence which is a little bit like dying, so I guess that was semi-accurate. Also, I would never off myself with pills. If I had to do it, I would do it the way that everyone else would do it—by hitting myself with pots and pans.”

The star continues by blasting the blogger who originated the rumor, Chris Laganella, who has since removed the post and replaced it with an apologetic explanation.

But the video gets even better when Braff explains what happened after his costar pal Donald Faison called him franticly.

“I was able to work out with him that if I do ever die, I would like him to sing an R&B version of ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ at my funeral,” he says.

And then—you guessed it—rehearsals begin and Faison shares his funny, yet fantastic, vocal stylings. Who knew?!”

Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire were two of the seminal recording acts from the late sixties/early seventies and on, and although I always mentally placed them at polar opposites musically, they share much more in common than I would have ever begun to guess. Chicago was always one of my favorite acts – at least up until the early eighties with all that Peter Cetera strutting his “I can’t wait to ditch this bunch of losers and prove what a dynamic solo act I am” business. I didn’t really care for the musical direction they were taking then and in the aftermath of Peter Cetera’s departure, I basically just lost interest, with the unfortunate mindset that the ongoing group was probably just a washed-up shell of the original band. I was never a huge fan of most seventies era R&B music, and my failure to acquaint myself with the music of Earth, Wind & Fire was more of a sin of neglect than any real dislike for the music, although I was aware of the many hits the group had on pop radio. When I first heard about this concert disc, I must be brutally honest – I was just about flat out dreading the review task ahead of me, especially when I saw the runtime on the disc nearly totaled THREE hours!

It’s one of life’s rare pleasures when approaching an experience with total dread, and then suddenly everything turns out OK – and this excellent concert has definitely been one of those! As the concert opens, both groups are onstage at the same time – there’s got to be almost twenty or more players, and they offer quite an imposing sight. The opening number, Chicago’s “Beginnings,” is played with a unison and harmony that I would have thought damned near impossible – these two groups move seamlessly through either’s song sets with a precision that just amazed me. And when Robert Lamm sings the opening lines, you fully realize that Chicago has always been his band, who needs Peter Cetera, we’re still out there touring and staying relevant. Where’s Peter Cetera been recently, anyway? And out of seven original members, Robert Lamm (the main songwriter and lead voice on many of the songs) and the three members of the horn section (the signature element of so many of their songs) remain intact, so it really should have come as no surprise to me that the group’s sound seemed so perfect and familiar. And I have to tell you, the songs from Earth, Wind & Fire that seemed so foreign to me in the seventies seemed, well, approachable and almost mainstream!

The two groups combine for the first three songs, then Earth, Wind & Fire does a lengthy set, followed by Chicago’s equally lengthy set. The two groups recombine for three more songs and two rousing encores. Watching the two groups apart, it really amazed me how similar their structures were, not only in personnel, but also song structure, with lots of emphasis on vocals and superb blowing from the two horn sections. As Robert Lamm states at the beginning of the show, it’s really hard to believe that it took these two hippie bands with similar musical messages thirty plus years to get together. And did the audiences get up for these shows! The energy level of the audience and performers was astonishing to behold. When the two groups reunite for the final set, it’s just amazing to hear them collaborate on classics like Chicago’s “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” and EWF’s “Shining Star.” The real crusher, though, is the finale, Chicago’s “25 Or 6 To 4,” with some amazing guitar work from all three of the combined group’s guitarists; EWF’s two guitarists offered truly inspired solos that just totally shocked me with their level of greatness!

This disc was another of those that in advance I truly felt would be a “skim job,” but I couldn’t stop watching, and almost three hours later I was still truly enjoying myself. From a technical standpoint, this disc is definitely another winner, with superb video and audio quality, and the performances are nothing short of dynamite! It’s truly gratifying to get this disc from Image Entertainment that’s technically superb, in very stark contrast to the average concert Blu-ray (some of the offerings of Eagle Rock come to mind) that are often mixed bags indeed. Although this disc is skimpy on extras, when the performances last nearly three hours, who can complain? Very highly recommended!

“I couldn’t stop watching, and almost three hours later I was still truly enjoying myself.”

Assisted by such seasoned pros as Julie Andrews and Hector Elizondo (a Marshall regular), Hathaway shines here in her first major film role. She plays Mia, a high school misfit who has resigned herself to social invisibility. Mia and her best friend, Lilly (Heather Matarazzo), are outcasts. While Lilly relishes the role, Mia just wishes a cute popular boy she likes, Josh (Erik von Detten), would notice her. Mia’s life changes dramatically when her grandmother (Andrews) contacts her and Mia finds out she is heir to the throne of Genovia, a small European country between France and Spain. The klutzy, socially awkward girl doesn’t think she’s up to the job, but she agrees to be coached in regal manners by her grandmother before deciding if she wants to become a princess. Marshall (PRETTY WOMAN) is clearly in his element directing this light, charming teen comedy. Andrews, perfectly cast as Queen Clarisse Renaldi, makes her character seem both imperious and caring. Hathaway’s performance and the presence of teen pop star Mandy Moore assure that young girls, in particular, will enjoy the film

These pins were given out when the DVD/Video was released in video stores. A really fun collectible.
