It's hard to remember our childhood without reminiscing about the mischievous monsters of Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are that lived in our dreams. The figments of our animated imagination finally come to life with director Spike Jonze's highly-anticipated film adaption of the your favorite bedtime story. With the film opening this weekend, put the baby mama drama aside and your boss' bitching outta your head, and sail into the land of the Wild Things, just like you always used to.
