Hello everyone. It has been a while since I've posted a blog. I just became a mod yesterday, and am having fun with it. It feels good to contribute to the community and feel like you are making it better.

I saw Where The Wild Things Are this weekend. I thought the movie was great in some ways and lackluster in others. The movie really succeeded in making you feel like a kid again, but not in the joyful way that, say, a Pixar movie might. This movie made me cry more than once.(laugh all you want jerks.) It dredged up a lot of memories about how sad my childhood was, and how alone and out of control a lot of us felt growing up. I used to run away and hide too. At first I didn't care for how 'normal' the monsters where in the movie until I slowed down enough to think that these monsters were representing people in Max's life that scared him. On an emotional level, and a visual level, this movie was a great success. It is gorgeous to look at, and it makes you feel a lot of raw emotions about your childhood. The story structure is pretty busted though. The movie almost feels too short, and things don't really get resolved, but I that kinda describes my childhood too.

My brother and I are off to see Paranormal Activity tonight. This movie was made for around $15,000 dollars and is supposed to be absolutely terrifying. I've been really curious to see it, and it is finally showing in my town.

What is going on with you folks?
