Where Are the Wild Things?

Mary, Micah, and Paula; where are the wild things?

Ok, first things first: first times (no, this isn't the wild thing). This is the first movie I've watched in 2010; first movie I've watched in TriNoma; and first time I've watched a movie with the block. Told you, no wild things here.

Even before watching the movie, I had been looking for the wild things. They weren't in the caf, not in the ride to TriNoma, and not in TriNoma itself. So I said to myself, they must be in the movie; and that's exactly what I did - look for wild things in the movie.

The movie started with a little boy chasing a dog. Then when he finally caught the dog, they wrestled. Not exactly the wild thing I was expecting; but hey, some people might be into that shit.

Fast forward a little; the boy had an older sister. Then a couple of friends of the sister (all guys) came (still not wild) and went inside their house; with the boy (from now on, let's call the little boy Max) outside the house. So a sleazy reggae beat started playing in my head (um-um-ckaka, um-um-chaka). But they immediately went outside the house and had a snowball fight (not a sexual euphemism) with Max. Still no wild things.

Their mom isn't a wild thing.

Max threw a tantrum when he saw his mom with another guy (which is totally uncalled for because they weren't doing anything wild)... Max bit his mom... chase scene... Max sailing... Max arriving at some island... still no wild things.

Max arrived at the strange island at night; a perfect setting for anything wild. He heard chaos somewhere, and he approached it. What he saw was just a bunch of monsters (the goat is freaking gay, and the chicken is... a chicken). Then one thing led to another and Max was seen by all the monsters; and then they surrounded him. I said to myself, please don't let this be the wild thing I was searching for. It wasn't.

The dog is fucking awesome though.

Let's skip to the end because any wild thing that might have happened in between isn't actually my thing. But if you're sort of into that shit, not a single thing happened; you didn't miss anything. Credits rolled... still no wild thing.

So where the hell are the wild things?





Awesome movie though; and a cool soundtrack. There's just no wild thing.
