Where the Wild Things Are: An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler. PGI didn't take my kids to this movie when it was in theaters because I heard from so many that it was scary. I really didn't think it was scary at all. My kids {ages 6 and 3} didn't think it was scary either. Granted, there were a few parts that were a little creepy in a weird sort of way, but nothing that would cause nightmares or anything. I'm wondering if I went into it expecting it to be super scary, so it didn't come off as bad. Kinda like when you expect a movie to be really funny and it turned out to be not as funny as you thought. Expectations can really change a movie outcome! I thought this movie was good for the most part. Otter LOVED it. Raven didn't really care one way or the other.
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken: This is the story of Sonora Webster, a teenage runaway during the Depression. Her life's ambition is to travel to Atlantic City and become a diving girl. An inspiring true-life adventure of a courageous young rebel who defied the odds...and won. GThis is one of my absolute favorite movies! If you haven't seen it you MUST! It's a beautiful story. I saw that it was on Netflix Watch Instantly so when we got our streaming disc for the Wii this week I thought it would be a good movie that the whole family would enjoy. It actually kept the kids' attention the whole time. LOVE IT!
For Keeps: Darcy and her long-term boyfriend Stan are in their last months of school and already have found places in good colleges. Darcy ends up pregnant and neither of their parents are supportive. PG-13I had never heard of this movie, but I came across it on Netflix Watch Instantly and decided to give it a try. I always enjoy teen pregnancy movies since I was a pregnant teen. I really liked this movie. It really makes me appreciate our parents for supporting us through my pregnancy and after. I really don't know what we would have done without them! The movie had some good humor in it too.

OMG!! I remember Wild Hearts Can't be broken. I saw it in the theater when I was young and said I was going to name my daughter Sonora. LOL I guess that might be why I don't have a daughter. ;-)
